- Minka Kelly has come forward with new claims about Harvey Weinstein, saying her promised her a lavish life if she would be his girlfriend
Minka Kelly is the latest actress to come forward and claim that she was sexually harassed by Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein in a lengthy post shared on Instagram.
The ‘Friday Night Lights’ star wrote that she met Weinstein at an event and soon after was asked by her agent if she would be willing to meet him at his hotel room to discuss her career.
Kelly said that she agreed to the meeting but refused to go to Weinstein’s room, and instead met him at the restaurant inside his hotel with an assistant.
‘He bulls*** me for 5 minutes re: movies he could put me in, then asked the assistant to excuse us,’ said Weinstein.
‘As she walked away, he said, “I know you were feeling what I was feeling when we met the other night” and then regaled me with offers of a lavish life filled with trips around the world on private planes etc.
‘IF I would be his girlfriend.’

Kelly did not say what year this meeting happened or if Weinstein was married at the time.
‘All I knew was not to offend this very powerful man and to get out of the situation as quickly as possible,’ wrote Kelly.
‘I told him while flattered, I’d like to keep things professional.’
