"There wasn't a place for us to report these experiences."įinally, in October-when Judd went on the record about Weinstein's behavior in the New York Times, the first star to do so-the world listened. "Were we supposed to call some fantasy attorney general of moviedom?" Judd asks. It allowed for people to warn others to some degree, but there was no route to stop the abuse. She recalls one screenwriter friend telling her that Weinstein's behavior was an open secret passed around on the whisper network that had been furrowing through Hollywood for years. And he could tell by my face-to use his words-that something devastating had happened to me. "Literally, I exited that hotel room at the Peninsula Hotel in 1997 and came straight downstairs to the lobby, where my dad was waiting for me, because he happened to be in Los Angeles from Kentucky, visiting me on the set. "I started talking about Harvey the minute that it happened," Judd says in an interview with TIME. But instead of keeping quiet about the kind of encounter that could easily shame a woman into silence, she began spreading the word. Astounded and offended by Weinstein's attempt to coerce her into bed, Judd managed to escape.
In 1997, just before Ashley Judd's career took off, she was invited to a meeting with Harvey Weinstein, head of the starmaking studio Miramax, at a Beverly Hills hotel. Yet it turns out that-in the most painful and personal ways-movie stars are more like you and me than we ever knew. They wear dresses we can't afford and live in houses we can only dream of. They're svelte, glamorous, self-possessed.
