A new lawsuit filed against Harvey Weinstein on Friday reportedly details an allegation from a woman, who claims the disgraced Hollywood producer sexually assaulted her multiple times.

According to Variety — citing the lawsuit — a woman identified only as Jane Doe, alleges that in 2013 she had a meeting with Weinstein in his office when he pushed her to the floor. He then allegedly removed her underwear and performed oral sex on her against her will, as she started to sob.

Per the outlet, the suit claims that Weinstein then asked her: “Do you even want to be an actress?” Variety reports that Weinstein also allegedly said he was trying to help the woman, adding, “I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is; she has just won an Oscar.”

A rep for Weinstein did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

Meanwhile, Lawrence denied having “anything but a professional relationship” with Weinstein, 66, in a statement issued to Fox News on Friday.

“My heart breaks for all the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein,” Lawrence said. “I have never had anything but a professional relationship with him. This is yet another example of the predatory tactics and lies that he engaged in to lure countless women.” – READ MORE
