“He came up to the table and was like, ‘Gracious, you need to be an entertainer?’ And I said, ‘No doubt, I truly need to be in a film.’ I was a teen, so I was dazzled by him. I was like, ‘Wow, Harvey Weinstein is so cool!’ and he said, ‘All things considered, we ought to have a gathering. You can come up to my room and read contents’… and I simply didn’t have any desire to go, so I never went.”Harvey Weinstein once followed Paris Hilton to the restroom

In a similar meeting, Paris Hilton uncovered that things supposedly took a turn the following night when Harvey Weinstein followed her to the restroom, inquiring:

Furthermore, I wouldn’t open it, since I was like, ‘I’m in a slow down, for what reason would you like to come in here?’ And I just wouldn’t open it. Also, security came and in a real sense diverted him and he was like [shouting], ‘This is my party,’ going crazy. It frightened me and cracked me out.”

Talking about the reports encompassing Weinstein’s ruthless way of behaving prior to meeting him at the Cannes Film Celebration, Hilton shared that everybody understood what he resembled yet opposed it:

“No doubt, and it was simply somebody so strong in Hollywood what everyone’s identity was alarmed by. I would even not liked to express anything about it since I was as, ‘I don’t need individuals flying off the handle at me for saying anything,’ since it was only something known. He was very much like that and individuals were like, ‘alright, simply choose to disregard.'”


Hilton’s meeting comes around the same time when Harvey was requested 16 years of prison time after he was sentenced for three charges of r*pe and s*xual maltreatment in Los Angeles.

He was requested to spend the two his New York and Los Angeles sentences one after the other, and that implies he will use the remainder of his life in the slammer.
