The alleged incident took place in Cannes, France, in Kadian Noble has become the 86th woman to publicly accuse the disgraced movie mogul of sexual assault.
Noble is not only suing Weinstein; she's going after him as an alleged sex trafficker. In her lawsuit, she accuses The Weinstein Company of violating federal sex trafficking laws by "benefiting from, and knowingly facilitating, the venture in which Harvey Weinstein traveled in foreign commerce to recruit or entice female actors into forced or coerced sexual encounters on the promise of roles. She is seeking damages under U.
At a press conference today in New York, Noble addressed Harvey Weinstein directly: "You completely misused the gift that you have to create magic in this world to absolutely take advantage of people.
Harvey Weinstein then allegedly called an unnamed Weinstein Company producer in the United States and put him on the phone with Noble, the lawsuit said. Harvey Weinstein then allegedly pulled her closer and groped her breasts. However, at the same time, Noble felt compelled to comply with Harvey Weinstein's demands because of the tangible and intangible benefits he offered to advance her career, according to the suit. Weinstein allegedly pulled Noble into the bathroom and told her to relax while he gripped her firmly.
He then started to rub her breast and buttocks, according to the suit. Noble allegedly told him to stop and tried to leave the bathroom, but Weinstein blocked her exit, according to the suit. Noble again implored him to stop, and struggled against him physically, trying to escape the bathroom, according to the suit. Weinstein then continued to sexually assault her, the suit said. Weinstein denies allegations of non-consensual sex.
