In a long interview in the World, Juliette Binoche looks back on her relationship with Harvey Weinstein, who has produced several movies in which she has played. The actress explained that she knew of his reputation, even if she has never experienced harassment on his part. It also tells of the assault of which she was the victim in the course of his career, from the hand of other men in the film industry…

She finally comes out of the silence. In an interview with the newspaper The World published on Monday, the actress Juliette Binoche talks about his relationship with the american producer Harvey Weinstein, who was accused for several weeks of rape and sexual assaults on dozens of actresses and employed. In fact, the French has starred in several films produced by Miramax, the company Weinstein, the famous English Patient, for which she received an Oscar in 1997.

“I have never felt in danger with him, “she says in The World, because I think that I was already armed. The only time I have heard an insinuation of sexual verbal on his part, I have not taken seriously. I responded immediately with a backhand ball out of the game. ” If Juliette Binoche says to have never been harassed by Harvey Weinstein, she admits that an actress had warned her about.

“ This is a complex and oddly endearing, “she said about the producer. But I also knew very well what kind of beast it was in him. “ And to clarify : “in the Face of the beast Harvey in the face with his energy, his voice, ( … ), in approaching such a power, it is necessary to know where one puts the feet and awaken his intelligence to not get trapped. “

In this long interview, the actress also delivers on his debut in the cinema, and evokes many sexual assaults of which she was the victim, on the part of producers or directors. It also recognizes the existence of a form of blackmail sex : “This happened to me not to be taken in films because I had not answered to the blows of the knee under the table, or because I had not called the mobile number that I was given. “Like many actresses from the case of Weinstein, the testimony of Juliette Binoche, helps eliminate a little more of the veil over the practices misogynist and violent that occurrent too often in the world of cinema.
