Actress Natassia Malthe has accused Harvey Weinstein of raping her in a London hotel after a Bafta awards ceremony, in the latest allegation against the disgraced movie mogul.
The model and actress, who has appeared in about 50 films, says she met Weinstein at the after party of the 2008 ceremony.
In the latest of dozens of allegations of sexual harassment and assault, she told a press conference in New York that she felt pressured into telling Weinstein she was staying at the Sanderson Hotel after being put on the spot.
Malthe, now 43, said after her shift on February 10 she went back to her room and went to sleep, but was awoken by "repeated pounding" on her door, from someone yelling: "Open the door Natassia Malthe, it's Harvey Weinstein."
Feeling humiliated, she said she opened the door. She alleged Weinstein began implying sex would get her a role in an upcoming film while semi-undressed and then he began to masturbate.
"I was sitting on the bed talking to Harvey when he pushed me back and forced himself onto me. It was not consensual. He did not use a condom," she said.
The next day she received a script, she alleged, before returning to Los Angeles where she said she was given the impression she had landed a role in the movie Nine, a film produced by Weinstein that would star Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench.
Malthe claimed that Weinstein asked her to meet him at the Beverly Hills Peninsula Hotel where he allegedly said an assistant would be present. But instead he asked her to engage in a threesome with him and another woman, she alleged.
She refused and when she later called him to say a role in a movie was not worth it, he became angry and called her ungrateful, she claimed.
Her lawyer Gloria Allred said Malthe is "considering" whether to make a report to police over the allegation, which is at least the sixth claim of rape against Weinstein.
Weinstein has "unequivocally denied" allegations of non-consensual sex.
