‘The OA’ star Brit Marling details encounter with Harvey Weinstein and says he asked her to shower with him

Actress and creator Brit Marling, known for the Netflix breakout hit “The OA,” has published her own allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. Marling wrote that a hotel meeting turned into a terrorizing encounter when he suggested they take a shower together.

Marling’s account was published in The Atlantic under the title “Harvey Weinstein and the Economics of Consent.” She outlines the issues involving power dynamics around race and gender in Hollywood (and industries elsewhere), and she also describes her own hotel room meeting with Weinstein

As Marling explains, she believes the reason why she left the room before anything physical happened was due to her status as a creator in the industry — not simply an actress. The unbalanced power dynamic between young actresses and powerful men like Harvey Weinstein is part of the cause when it comes to predatory or harassing behavior, she wrote.
