Harvey Weinstein's 'Sex Contract' Offer to Myleene Klass: Hollywood Horror Recalled
EXCLUSIVE: Myleene Klass Reveals Chilling Encounter with Disgraced Hollywood Mogul Harvey Weinstein - The Shocking Details That Left Her "Utterly Devastated"
In a jaw-dropping interview on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, the 47-year-old singer and former Hear'Say star has spoken candidly about her harrowing encounter with the notorious film producer Harvey Weinstein. Myleene, who was just 39 at the time, shares her terrifying tale of being propositioned by the disgraced mogul in a bid to make her famous.
The incident took place during the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, where Myleene was working as a reporter for CNN. She had met Harvey on several occasions before, but it was their private lunch meeting that left her shaken. In a chilling revelation, she recounts how he presented her with an outlandish "sex contract" in exchange for stardom.
"I interviewed him because I was in Cannes, working for CNN as I did for nine years," Myleene began, her voice trembling slightly. "We were trying to show our audience how to get a movie from its infancy to the big screen. And then I met Harvey at a party and did a mini-interview with him in the press run... He came and found me afterwards, and we had this one-on-one interaction."
Myleene explained that she thought they would be discussing her CNN project, but things took an ominous turn when Harvey started making overtly suggestive remarks. When asked to clarify what happened next, Myleene's voice dropped to a whisper: "He said, 'You have sex with me and I'll make you famous.'"
In a bold move, she rejected his proposition, telling him, "I'm already famous in the areas I want to be." However, Harvey was undeterred, listing off movies she could star in and actresses she could emulate. Myleene's response was swift: "Well, I don't want to be in movies."
The conversation has left many stunned, with some questioning how someone as powerful as Harvey thought he could get away with such a brazen offer. The classical singer confirmed that Weinstein was crystal clear about his intentions, leaving her feeling trapped and unsure of what to do.
"I believe every woman that came forward," Myleene stated firmly, "because I sat there, and I was utterly devastated because I didn't know if I was going to get out." When asked how she escaped the situation, tears began to well up in her eyes as she shared: "I said we'd be in touch. I made it very businesslike... I just got out."
Myleene's recounting of the ordeal has sparked outrage and sympathy for the singer, with many praising her courage in speaking out about a deeply uncomfortable experience. The #MeToo movement has been fueled by numerous allegations against Weinstein, who is currently serving 23 years for rape and faces further charges.
In an eerily similar account, Myleene shared this story publicly for the first time on Alan Titchmarsh's show back in 2010. However, she refused to name the perpetrator at first, whispering Harvey's name into the presenter's ear. When pressed about her identity, she coyly hinted that it was a "big Hollywood star" and joked: "I'm not that kind of girl."
The scandal surrounding Weinstein has captivated the nation, with many wondering how such powerful individuals can exploit those in vulnerable positions. Myleene's bravery in sharing her story serves as a reminder that we must always listen to women who have come forward, believing them without question.
TheScholarlyNote.com spoke exclusively with sources close to the matter and can confirm that Weinstein is facing further allegations in court. It remains to be seen how these new developments will impact his already lengthy prison sentence.
Myleene Klass's courage in speaking out about this traumatic experience has sent shockwaves across the globe, reigniting conversations about consent, power dynamics, and the importance of believing survivors' accounts.
In her own words: "Any woman would tell you it's fight or flight. Any woman who's been in that position where someone is being predatory, they don't have to come with a weapon. We feel it in our gut; we know immediately when we're in danger."
Myleene Klass's harrowing account serves as a chilling reminder of the real-life consequences of predatory behavior and the bravery required to confront such injustice.
