Actress Minnie Driver claims she almost didn’t star in “Good Will Hunting” because Harvey Weinstein didn’t think she was attractive enough.
She told the UK time that the producer said “nobody would want to f–ck her.”
“That is an unutterable pig. Why on earth are you worried about this f–k saying that you are not sexy?” she said. “But there are ramifications of that: that maybe I am not going to be hired because people don’t think I have the sexual quality that is required.”
She continued, “How awful to think that I was one of the lucky ones [who escaped him] because he didn’t think I was f–kable. And how amazing and wonderful that it has turned around and young men and women in my industry are not going to experience that.”
Weinstein was convicted in New York on February 2020 of forcibly performing oral sex on a TV and film production assistant in 2006 and rape in the third degree for an attack on an aspiring actress in 2013.
He was acquitted of first-degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault.
In July Weinstein pleaded not guilty to 11 sexual assault charges in Los Angeles. While in court, his lawyers filed a motion to dismiss three of the 11 counts against him, saying the statute of limitations has expired.
