Oscar-winning actress Sissy Spacek hasn’t minced her words when it comes to disgraced producer and , branding him ‘a real turd’.
Spacek, 72, worked with Weinstein on The Long Walk Home in 1990, but said she was ‘protected’ from him at the time because she was an established actress.
She also said she was warned about him.
‘I was already an established actor, so I was protected in that way from him. Also, I had been warned by someone I was close to, who said be careful, and so I was,’ she said.
‘He did some things that I thought were very unsavoury, but they weren’t sexual.’
Spacek also revealed she’d approached the producer about working on another film together, but he dropped her for another actress and it left her feeling bitter.
The Carrie star explained : ‘I found a project and became attached to it and I brought it to Harvey. Then, when somebody else won the Academy Award, he pulled that from me and he wanted someone else to do it.’
She said she wrote him a letter, but he never replied.
‘I just wanted him to acknowledge that he’d been a real turd,’ she continued. ‘He could never look at me after that at any event we were at.’
The film producer is after being convicted of rape in 2020.
He was one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood before dozens of women accused him of sexual assault in October 2017.
Spacek began acting in the 1970s, winning an Oscar for The Coal Miner’s Daughter in 1980.
