The 40-year-old actress, who had a long relationship with the British star from 2003 to 2011, worked for the producer, who is serving 23 years in prison for sexual assault and rape, in the 2006 film “Factory Girl”, but confesses to never having received an advance from him
Being Jude Law’s girlfriend protected Sienna Miller from sexual harassment by producer Harvey Weinstein, who is serving 23 years in prison for sexual assault and rape. The British actor had in fact appeared in films such as “The Talent of Mr. Ripley” and “Cold Mountain”, produced by Weinstein and this would have made the difference in the relationship between the now disgraced producer and the 40-year-old actress, when the two they worked together on 2006’s ‘Factory Girl’. “Jude was an important name for Harvey – explained Miller, whose history with Law lasted from 2003 to 2011, in an interview with the Guardian – and the fact that I I was his girlfriend was probably a protection ».
“I used to call him dad”
But according to her, it wasn’t just that she saved herself from Weinstein’s sexual assaults. “From day one I called Harvey ‘Pops’ (or, ‘dad’, ed), which certainly helped,” continued the actress, underlining the non-sexual connotation of the nickname, but then admitting that once the producer yelled at her very badly, making her cry. “One day I was rehearsing with Steve Buscemi, when Harvey called me and told me to go straight to his office – said Miller, who plays Sophie Whitehouse in the Netflix miniseries” Anatomy of a Scandal “, released on April 15. -. To which I replied “I’m trying” and he yelled “Now!” and he sent a car to get me. When I got there, he made me sit in a chair in his office and said “you won’t go out, f ** k, you won’t go to a party anymore.” I was having a lot of fun (at the time), but I made sure I got to work on time. He was on top of me, I was sitting with trembling lips, then he went out slamming the door and I burst into tears. ‘
“Never in danger”
Upon returning to the room, Weinstein wanted to explain the reason for his behavior. “It’s because I’m fucking proud of you,” the producer explained, not surprisingly, before leaving and slamming the door again. However, Miller considered that incident a kind of rite of passage and there wasn’t a single moment when she really felt in danger with Weinstein. “I was not afraid of him – explained the actress -. You couldn’t really feel introduced (into the environment) until Weinstein made you cry. I imagined the Hollywood producers doing this and I felt that he had given me the greatest confirmation by doing this and I was really grateful. I didn’t know he raped people. He had asked for a meeting with me at the hotel and I brought some other producers and it was harmless. I have never received advances from anyone for a job ».
