In de nasleep van het Weinstein-schandaal getuigen steeds meer Hollywoodfiguren over hun onaangename confrontaties met Harvey Weinstein. Beverly Hills 90210-acteur Jason Priestley is er zo eentje. Op Twitter vertelde hij onlangs over een schermutseling met Weinstein op een Golden Globes-feestje in 1995.

“Harvey zei me dat ik moest opstappen,” vertelde de acteur. “Toen ik wilde vertrekken, greep hij mij bij de arm. Hij stelde voor om het buiten uit te praten, maar ik had genoeg gehoord. Daarna duwde ik hem weg en sloeg ik hem op zijn gezicht. Plotseling was er overal security om ons uit elkaar te halen.”

Of course there is more to the story… ‘95 Golden Globes… at the Miramax Party… Harvey told me I had to leave… I was leaving when he grabbed me by the arm and said “ what are you doing?” I said “ you told me leave, I’m leaving”

“I didn’t say you had to leave” he replied. “You just told me to leave… right over there” I tell him once again. Getting heated now. He then grabs me tighter and says “why don’t we go outside and talk about this”. That was all I needed to hear,

“I’m not going anywhere with you” I said as I pushed him back and punched him with a right hand to his face. Suddenly, there were security guards pulling us apart and I was escorted out of the party…
