Reportedly, the currently unidentified woman was auditioning for a role as a disabled person and shortly after her audition was allegedly attack by Weinstein in a stairwell nearby.
According to sources who spoke to The Blast, “the actress was left by Harvey Weinstein to fend for herself in a stairwell after the rape, and subsequently rescued by a building janitor.”
The Armenta Law Firm crisis manager called it “a most heinous crime.” The woman sought out the help of a law firm after seeing other women come forward with stories about Weinstein.
Additionally, the Armenta Firm is currently preparing a class-action lawsuit against Weinstein as well as The Weinstein Company, claiming that the production company is responsible for facilitating the many incidents of sexual misconduct.
Representatives for Weinstein were reportedly on the record as saying that the producer “unequivocally denies any and all allegations of nonconsensual sex.”
