'Mental meltdown'

The performing artist, who called Weinstein an "enthusiastic cinephile, a daring person, a supporter of ability in film, an adoring father, and a creature," stated, "I never indicated Harvey how startled I was of him."

"Until there is the correspondence in our industry, with men and ladies having a similar incentive in each part of it, our group will keep on being a prolific ground for predators," she composed.

Baird issued an announcement for the benefit of Weinstein that questioned Hayek's variant of occasions.

"M. Weinstein views Salma Hayek as a top of the line performing artist and cast her in a few of his films, among them 'Quite a long time ago in Mexico,' 'Creed,' and 'Studio 54.' He was exceptionally pleased with her Best On-screen character Institute Honor designation for 'Frida' and keeps on supporting her work," the announcement said.

"While Jennifer Lopez was keen on playing Frida and at the time was a greater star, Mr. Weinstein overruled different speculators to back Salma as the lead," it said.

The announcement likewise said Miramax set up half of the cash in a film with a financial plan of more than $12 million and furthermore noticed that there was "imaginative contact" on the film, which it said, "served to drive the venture to flawlessness."

"Mr. Weinstein does not review influencing Salma to complete a needless sexual moment with a female costar and he was not there for the shooting," the announcement said. "The greater part of the sexual affirmations as depicted by Salma is not precise and other people who saw the occasions have an alternate record of what unfolded."
