Malthe’s lawyer Gloria Allred, who appeared alongside Malthe, described it as sexual assault was completelynon-consensual.
“I had experienced sexual harassment from other powerful men in Hollywood, but my experiences with Harvey were the worst,” noted Malthe.
Malthe, who is from Norway, said she left the USafter that incident and became depressed and anxious. “I felt that my dreams had been shattered,” Malthe said.
Many Hollywood actresses including Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow have come out with the claims that the movie mogul tried to sexually harass them.
The Weinstein Company, which sacked Weinstein, is also being sued for five million dollars by actress Dominique Huett, who claims the studio was negligent for having knowledge of his behaviour.
