Salma Hayek accuses Harvey Weinstein of 'abuse', 'forced nudity' and threat to 'kill' her

Salma Hayek is the latest to join the list of Hollywood celebrities accusing movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. 

The A-lister wrote in a column for a leading New York daily claiming she said no to a list of unwanted advances from the producer when they worked together on the 2002 film "Frida" -- biopic on the life of Mexican painter of the same name. 

She wrote: "No to me taking a shower with him. No to letting him watch me take a shower. No to letting him give me a massage. No to letting a naked friend of his give me a massage. No to letting him give me oral sex. No to my getting naked with another woman."

She also wrote of the producer threatening to kill her following one of her refusals and being verbally abused on the set. 

In the column, the Academy-Award



nominated actress starts with sharing her excitement on being signed by Weintein for Frida which then turned into a nightmare when his untoward advances began. She writes about her efforts to get herself and the film out of his company. 

She wrote: "I had to resort to using lawyers, not by pursuing a sexual harassment case, but by claiming 'bad faith,' as I had worked so hard on a movie that he was not intending to make or sell back to me."

Weinstein gave her a list of "impossible tasks with a tight deadline" in order to "clear himself legally". Once filming began, the sexual harassment stopped but he "became harder to deal with" as his demands outgrew himself. "He would let me finish the film if I agreed to do a sex scene with another woman and he demanded full-frontal nudity", she wrote.
