Actress Tara Subkoff joins list of Weinstein accusers

Actress Tara Subkoff is claiming Harvey Weinstein made her sit on his lap while he was aroused, as she joins the long list of women accusing the creepy mogul of sexual harassment.

The 44-year-old “When the Bough Breaks” actress said the disgusting encounter happened in the 1990s when she was up for a part in one of his movies.

“That night I was offered the role, and I went out to a premiere afterparty that Harvey Weinstein was also at,” Subkoff told Variety in a report published Thursday.

“He motioned for me to come over to him, and then grabbed me to sit me on his lap. I was so surprised and shocked I couldn’t stop laughing because it was so awkward,” she recalled to the news outlet.

Subkoff said she then felt “that he had an erection.”

“I got quiet, but got off his lap quickly,” she said. “He then asked me to come outside with him and other things I don’t want to share, but it was implied that if I did not comply with doing what he asked me to do that I would not get the role that I had already been informally offered.”

Subkoff dismissed Weinstein’s alleged predatory advances, saying, “I laughed in his face as I was in shock and so uncomfortable. I left the party right after that.”

She said following the incident, her “reputation was ruined by false gossip, and I was called ‘too difficult to work with.’”

“It became impossible for me to get work as an actress after this, so I then had to start a new career path and started Imitation of Christ, a fashion and art label,” Subkoff told Variety.

After her film debut in the 1994 thriller, Subkoff took supporting roles in films like “As Good As It Gets” and “The Last Days of Disco.”

She said she decided to open up about her experience to show how “powerful men abusing their power can affect not only a few careers, but all of ours,” while adding, “I had it affect and ruin my career as an actress. And then almost 20 years later it almost affected my first feature film I wrote, directed and produced getting distribution.”

Meanwhile, actress Jane Fonda told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Thursday that she first found out about Weinstein’s predatory behavior about a year ago from Rosanna Arquette — one of the 13 women to come forward with sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein in an explosive New Yorker piece.

“I’m ashamed that I didn’t say anything right then,” the 79-year-old Academy Award-winning actress said.

Commenting on why she stood silent, Fonda said, “I guess because it hadn’t happened to me and so I didn’t feel it was my place.”

The “Grace and Frankie” star said that when she found out, “it came as a shock and a great disappointment — this male entitlement.”

She applauded the women who have come forward in the Weinstein saga, saying, “I’m glad it’s coming out. I’m so proud of those fellow actors that are speaking up.”

Fonda said that though she did not have a Weinstein horror experience, she admitted that “it has happened to me” when it comes to sexual harassment.

“This is not unique, this goes on at the most horrendous high levels,” she said.

Actress Tippi Hedren said this week in a tweet that the allegations against Weinstein remind her of Alfred Hitchcock’s abuse toward her.

“This is nothing new, nor is it limited to the entertainment industry. I dealt with sexual harassment all the time, during my modeling and my film career. Hitchcock wasn’t the first,” Hedren tweeted Wednesday.

“However, I wasn’t going to take it anymore, so I simply walked away and didn’t look back. Hitch said he would ruin my career and I told him to do what he had to do.”

The tweet continued: “It has taken 50 years, but it is about time that women started standing up for themselves as they appear to be doing in the Weinstein case. Good for them!”

Weinstein has been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual harassment, assault and rape in bombshell exposés by the New York Times and the New Yorker magazine.
