Judd — who described being sexually harassed by the Hollywood producer during a breakfast meeting in his hotel room when the 1997 film Kiss the Girls was shooting — said Weinstein made her feel “panicky, trapped,” and as though her career could be put in jeopardy if she ruined their relationship by refusing his advances.

“I said no, a lot of ways, a lot of times, and he always came back at me with some new ask,” the actress told The New York Times, describing shooting down a persistent Weinstein. "It was all this bargaining, this coercive bargaining.”

"Women have been talking about Harvey amongst ourselves for a long time, and it’s simply beyond time to have the conversation publicly,” Judd told The New York Times.That's exactly what's happening.
