Paris Hilton says she had a TERRIFYING run-in with Harvey Weinstein on the Cannes Film Festival when she was a simply teenager.
Hilton informed Glamour UK magazine she was having lunch with a feminine pal on the pageant in 2000 when Weinstein walked over to their desk and requested if she needed to be an actress.
The then-19-year-old Hilton says she responded, ‘Yeah, I really want to be in a movie.’ Paris says she was impressed by Weinstein and thought he was “cool” on the time.
Weinstein then allegedly hit on her, explaining, ‘Well, we should have a meeting. You can come up to my room and read scripts’… and I simply didn’t wish to go, so I by no means went.”
But, the following evening, Paris says Weinstein adopted her to the women toilet on the pageant’s annual amfAR gala for AIDS analysis and screamed at her, “Ya wanna be a star?”
Paris says Weinstein then tried to open the toilet door and began banging on it together with his fist. But, Paris says, she refused to open the door and informed Weinstein, ‘I’m in a stall, why do you wish to are available right here?’
Security finally arrived and escorted Weinstein out — btw, he was internet hosting the occasion. As Weinstein was led away, he allegedly went bonkers, stating, “This is my social gathering!” Paris admits, “It scared me and freaked me out.”
