It turns out that musician and actress Courtney Love publicly warned aspiring Hollywood actresses about Harvey Weinstein all they way back in 2005.
In a recently uncovered video, Love gives a reluctant pause before revealing an uncomfortable piece of advice to Hollywood hopefuls.
Love was attending a comedy roast of actress Pamela Anderson. In footage obtained by TMZ, she was on the red carpet when comedian and actress Natasha Leggero was covering the event for Comedy Central. Leggero asked her, “Do you have any advice for a young girl moving to Hollywood?”
Weinstein is now facing the consequences of alleged decades of sexual misconduct with actresses and models tied to his business ventures. His personal staff and victims say that he regularly and habitually used business meetings and career advancement as a way to lure women into hotel rooms and private offices.
The consequences of not accepting Weinstein’s sexual advances, according to alleged victims, are major setbacks to one’s career. Love expressed that she also suffered.
In response to the TMZ story, Love stated “Although I wasn’t one of his victims, I was eternally banned by CAA for speaking out against Harvey Weinstein.”
“The Agency is extremely distraught by the recent allegations made against Harvey Weinstein and we are saddened by the tragic impact to many individuals in our industry. We support the women coming forward and hope that these revelations will help our society move into the right direction and eradicate this type of immoral and offensive conduct. We strive for the highest ethical standards here at Gersh and will continue our commitment to decency and equality.”
