After the explosive and detailed investigation by The New York Times exposing media mogul, Harvey Weinstein, a new audio clip has come to light which reveals the Hollywood executive attempting to coerce a 22-year-old model into going to a hotel room with him.
The New Yorker released the audio from a sting operation conducted in 2015 by the New York Police Department with the help of then 22-year-old model, Ambra Battilana Gutierrez. The Hollywood executive propositions her to watch him as he showers. Harvey also admits to having groped Ambra and said he’s “used to this”.
The transcript of the audio:
Weinstein: I’m telling you right now, get in here.
Gutierrez: What do we have to do here?
Weinstein: Nothing. I’m gonna take a shower, you sit there and have a drink. Water.
Gutierrez: I don’t drink.
Weinstein: Then have a glass of water.
Gutierrez: Can I stay on the bar?
Weinstein: No. You must come here now.
Gutierrez: No…
Weinstein: Please?
Gutierrez: No, I don’t want to.
Weinstein: I’m not doing anything with you, I promise. Now you’re embarrassing me.
Gutierrez: I know, I don’t want to. I’m sorry. I cannot.
Weinstein: No, come in here.
Gutierrez: No, yesterday was kind of aggressive for me.
Weinstein: I know.
Gutierrez: I need to know a person to be touched.
Weinstein: I won’t do a thing.
Gutierrez: I don’t want to be touched.
Weinstein: I swear I won’t, just sit with me. Don’t embarrass me in the hotel. I’m here all the time.
Gutierrez: I know, but I don’t want to.
Weinstein: Sit with me, I promise—Please sit there. Please. One minute, I ask you.
Gutierrez: No, I can’t.
Weinstein: Go to the bathroom.
Gutierrez: Please, I don’t want to do something I don’t want to do.
Weinstein: Go to the bath—hey, come here. Listen to me.
Gutierrez: I want to go downstairs.
Weinstein: I’m not gonna do anything, you’ll never see me again after this. Ok? That’s it. If you embarrass me in this hotel, where I’m staying at—
Gutierrez: I’m not embarrassing you.
Weinstein: Just walk—
Gutierrez: It’s just that I don’t, I don’t feel comfortable.
Weinstein: Honey, don’t have a fight with me in the hallway.
Gutierrez: It’s not nothing, it’s—
Weinstein: Please, I’m not gonna do anything. I swear on my children. Please come in. On everything, I’m a famous guy.
Gutierrez: I’m feeling very uncomfortable right now.
Weinstein: Please come in now. And one minute. And if you wanna leave, when the guy comes with my jacket you can go.
Gutierrez: Why yesterday you touch my breast?
Weinstein: Oh, please I’m sorry just come in. I’m used to that.
Gutierrez: You’re used to that?
Weinstein: Yes, come in.
The New Yorker also released a report with nine detailed accounts of cases of sexual assault and rape by various actors.
