Cara Delevingne revela que foi vítima de assédio sexual

Harvey Weinstein, um dos produtores mais conhecidos e influentes de Hollywood, foi acusado de crimes de assédio sexual, na década de 90 e, agora, a situação do produtor piorou. Recentemente, surgiram outras novas acusações por parte de várias celebridades, como foi o caso Cara Delivigne.

A propósito da conduta inapropriada do produtor, a manequim, de 25 anos, veio a público relatar o que aconteceu em alguns dos encontros com Harvey.

"Ele disse-me que se fosse lésbica, ou se decidisse estar com uma mulher em público, não iria conseguir o papel de uma mulher heterossexual, ou seguir a carreira de atriz em Hollywood. [...] O realizador saiu da reunião e Harvey pediu-me para ficar a conversar com ele. Assim que ficámos sozinhos, ele começou a gabar-se de todas as atrizes com quem já tinha dormido e como é que tinha conduzido as carreiras delas, e disse-me também outras coisas inapropriadas, de natureza sexual. Convidou-me para ir ao quarto dele. Recusei de imediato e perguntei à assistente dele se o meu carro estava lá fora [...]  Naquele momento, senti-me muito impotente e assustada", revelou.

Durante o desabafo, a jovem atriz chegou mesmo a dizer que se "sentiu culpada" e que ficou a pensar "que tinha feito algo de errado."

Numa outra publicação, Cara Delevingne fez, ainda, um apelo a todas as mulheres vítimas de assédio sexual: "Quero que as mulheres e as raparigas saibam que ser assediada, abusada ou violada nunca é por culpa delas, e não falar sobre esses assuntos vai criar sempre um estrago maior do que se contar a verdade."

 

When I first started to work as an actress, i was working on a film and I received a call from‎ Harvey Weinstein asking if I had slept with any of the women I was seen out with in the media. It was a very odd and uncomfortable call....i answered none of his questions and hurried off the phone but before I hung up, he said to me that If I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I'd never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood. A year or two later, I went to a meeting with him in the lobby of a hotel with a director about an upcoming film. The director left the meeting and Harvey asked me to stay and chat with him. As soon as we were alone he began to brag about all the actresses he had slept with and how he had made their careers and spoke about other inappropriate things of a sexual nature. He then invited me to his room. I quickly declined and asked his assistant if my car was outside. She said it wasn't and wouldn't be for a bit and I should go to his room. At that moment I felt very powerless and scared but didn't want to act that way hoping that I was wrong about the situation. When I arrived I was relieved to find another woman in his room and thought immediately I was safe. He asked us to kiss and she began some sort of advances upon his direction. I swiftly got up and asked him if he knew that I could sing. And I began to sing....i thought it would make the situation better....more professional....like an audition....i was so nervous. After singing I said again that I had to leave. He walked me to the door and stood in front of it and tried to kiss me on the lips. I stopped him and managed to get out of the room. I still got the part for the film and always thought that he gave it to me because of what happened. Since then I felt awful that I did the movie. I felt like I didn't deserve the part. I was so hesitant about speaking out....I didn't want to hurt his family. I felt guilty as if I did something wrong. I was also terrified that this sort of thing had happened to so many women I know but no one had said anything because of fear.

I want women and girls to know that being harassed or abused or raped is NEVER their fault and not talking about it will always cause more damage than speaking the truth. I am relieved to be able to share this....i actually feel better and I'm proud of the women who are brave enough to speak....this isn't easy but there are strength in our numbers. As I said, this is only the beginning. In every industry and especially in Hollywood, men abuse their power using fear and get away with it. This must stop. The more we talk about it, the less power we give them. I urge you all to talk and to the people who defend these men, you are part of the problem
