Popular English actress, Samantha Morton has come out to claim that disgraced producer, Harvey Weinstein tried to destroy her career when she was in her early twenties. She recently had her say during a recent interview, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, Harvey went as far as threatening to make sure she would not work again after she turned down an approach to be in his 2000 romantic comedy About Adam, which starred Kate Hudson, Stuart Townsend and Frances O’Connor.
Samantha added that she actually rejected a role in the movie because she felt it was too misogynistic.
Her words, “I said, “I don’t like it. I think the film is really misogynistic and I don’t want to be part of it. He said You don’t say no to Harvey.”
“I had just worked with Stuart Townsend on Under The Skin. It was just not interesting to me. I was uber-polite.”
“I [then] had a phone call saying, “You can’t say no.” The “no” wasn’t being listened to. So they kept coming back with this role and I was told unequivocally, You’re not going to work again unless you do this role. I’m going to make your life hell. You will not work again.”
