Salma Hayek on Harvey Weinstein: “I’m sure he doesn’t understand what he did”
The successful actress returns to one of the most complex periods in her life in a new interview ahead of the new movie starring her “Lala Mosa”, and recalls the moments when she was sexually assaulted, when the me too movement was in its infancy
The successful Hollywood actress is undoubtedly in a particularly positive time in her life – a new movie starring her, a successful marriage, a fulfilling motherhood for her eldest daughter Valentina, but if we go back a few years, it turns out that Hayek was in a particularly difficult time.
As mentioned, the new movie starring “Without a way out” will be released very soon, and this is not the first time that the star has worked with female directors. “There is a huge difference in working with a woman compared to a man. Directors advocate a different attitude, they give a fight because they simply doubt their every step. It’s actually positive. In addition, they invest much more in the development of the characters than the directors,” she said.
Hayek also spoke in the interview in question about Harvey Weinstein and the women he harassed, and said that at the time, when she was sexually harassed, she did not realize that she was actually the victim. “Today I understand that it was brave of me to complain. “When the Weinstein case broke, I felt a lot of empathy for the women who complained,” she explained.
The actress also added and said that she met many types of this type throughout her career. “I feel pain for the victims who were and will be. I’m sure Harvey Weinstein doesn’t understand what he did wrong. There is a whole culture that says if you are a man with power, you can get away with it. Today it is not acceptable, and I am happy about it,’ she concluded.
