Actress says ‘molting lizard’ Weinstein cornered her in hotel

Actress Melissa Sagemiller claims Harvey Weinstein trapped her in a hotel room and wouldn’t let her leave until she kissed his “peeling” lips.

The 43-year-old movie and TV actress said the pervy producer cornered her in his hotel room demanding a massage in 2000 when she was 24, and filming the Miramax film, “Get Over It,” alongside Mila Kunis and Kirsten Dunst.

“He was like Jabba the Hutt. He was like a lizard that was molting. It was so disgusting,” Sagemiller told Huffington Post, joining a slew of women accusing Weinstein of sexual harassment.

After arguing back and forth with the creepy movie mogul, telling him she was there to discuss the script and wouldn’t massage him, Sagemiller said he blocked the door and told her she couldn’t leave until she gave him a kiss.

“Well, Renee did it and Charlize did it and this other actress did it,” Weinstein allegedly told her. “Don’t you want your career to be more than just this little teen film?”

She kept refusing but eventually felt her only way out was to oblige, she said.

“He literally would not let me leave. I said fine and kissed him on the lips,” Sagemiller said. “He sort of held my head and made me kiss him.”

“He finally opened the door so I could leave. I remember sitting in that elevator. He was so disgusting,” she recalled.

After the encounter Sagemiller said she warned the other girls in the cast.

“I was definitely talking about it when we would go out with the cast because I was trying to warn the other girls, and I was trying to be tough about it and make a joke about it,” she said.

After filming ended, the actress said Weinstein took her luggage from security and forced her to fly on his private jet back to New York rather than on her commercial flight.

“So I get on the plane, I walk up and I go, “Harvey, you motherf—,” she recalled. “He’s just sitting there. He pats his hand on the seat next to him, and he’s like, ‘See, Melissa, you can’t say no to me. I always get what I want.’”

Weinstein has been accused by over a dozen women of sexual harassment, assault and rape in bombshell reports by The New York Times and The New Yorker.
