Hilton was at the festival to attend amfAR’s annual AIDS Research Gala that Weinstein hosted that year. The model said that she met Weinstein the day before the gala concert.
“I was having lunch with my boyfriend and he came up to the table and said, ‘Oh, you want to be an actress?’ And I said: “Yes, I really want to act in films,” Hilton said. “I was a teenager, so it impressed me. I thought, “Oh my God, Harvey Weinstein is great!” and he said, “Well, we have to have a meeting. You can go up to my room and read the scripts… and I just didn’t want to go, so I didn’t go.”
Hilton went on to say that Weinstein was hostile towards her at the gala, following her to the ladies’ room and yelling, “Do you want to be a star?”
“I went to the bathroom and then he followed me. He tried to open the door, he knocked on the door, knocked on it,” Hilton told the publication. “But I didn’t open it. Security came and literally took him away, and he was yelling, ‘This is my party,’ and going crazy. It scared me and scared me.”
Hilton said she heard something from the mogul before meeting him in Cannes.
“Yes, and he was such a powerful man in Hollywood that everyone was horrified. I didn’t even want to say anything about it, because I said, “I don’t want people to be mad at me for saying something,” because it was known. He was like that, and people said, “Okay, close your eyes.”
Weinstein denied the bathroom incident and Hilton’s allegations. Speaking through his spokesman at the Los Angeles County Jail, Harvey said “it never happened” and that he “never yelled at her or harassed her.”
