allegations entered its second week with some discussion of how quickly the proceedings are moving.
Sipherd said that, more than 30 years ago, she was a young actress when, at the Toronto festival in 1991, she met Weinstein and took him up on his offer to have a glass of wine. He offered her encouraging words about her career, including the prospect of a role in one of his movies, and she then took him up on his invitation to further discuss a movie at his hotel room.
“At that point I was kind of frozen…I was just asking him to stop. No, stop it what are you doing,” she said. She intended to confront him, she said. When she got to the room, she said, she asked Weinstein, “How does it feel to be in front of the one woman who said no to you?”Then, she said, they ended up in the bathroom, and Weinstein started propositioning her for sex.
“Well, isn’t that someone does in a business situation where they want to audition someone,” she said, acknowledging that she was “naive” and “didn’t really know how these things work.”
