TV news anchor accuses Harvey Weinstein of masturbating in front of her – By Andrew Blake (washingtontimes.com) / Oct 7 2017
A former Fox News anchor has joined the list of women accusing Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment in the wake of a bombshell report published this week alleging decades of disturbing predatory behavior.
Lauren Sivan said that Mr. Weinstein trapped her in the hallway of a New York City restaurant during a private event and then masturbated in front of her until he ejaculated, The Huffington Post reported Friday.
The incident happened about a decade ago while Ms. Sivan was employed as a news anchor for a local cable channel, Long Island 12, HuffPost reported. She became an overnight anchor at Fox News in Sept. 2008 and has worked for a local Los Angeles affiliate since 2011, according to her biography on the station’s website.
Ms. Sivan had been attending Socialista, a Manhattan club owned by Mr. Weinstein, when the movie producer invited her to take a private tour of its downstairs restaurant, she alleged. Mr. Weinstein tried unsuccessfully to kiss her once the two were alone, then exposed himself and masturbated in front of her until he ejaculated into a plotted plant, she said.
Ms. Sivan recalled the alleged encounter after The New York Times published a bombshell report Thursday revealing that Mr. Weinstein, the head of The Weinstein Company and Miramax film studios, reached at least eight settlements with women dating back nearly three decades in response to similar previously unpublicized allegations of sexual harassment and other misconduct, including several leading actresses.
“For those asking why I waited? YOU try telling that story 10yrs ago. Only possible now because of women with bigger names far braver than me,” Ms. Sivan tweeted Saturday.
