Currently facing five charges related to two women in New York, Harvey Weinstein has acknowledged that his actions have caused significant pain. However, he vehemently denies many of the allegations against him, with his spokesperson stating that any claims of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied, and there have been no acts of retaliation against those who rejected him.
One accuser, an actress, alleges that Weinstein raped her through oral sex at the Sundance Film Festival in 1997 when she was 23. After appearing in Scream, she reached a $100,000 settlement with him and declined a $1 million offer for a further non-disclosure agreement, becoming one of his most vocal accusers.

Refusing his advances, she claims he sought revenge by damaging her career. Director Peter Jackson confirmed removing her from a casting list based on what he now believes was false information from Weinstein.
