Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Rose McGowan and more women in Hollywood have gone on the record (some in publications including The New York Times and The New Yorker, others via social media) to accuse film industry titan Harvey Weinstein of varying forms of sexual misconduct, ranging from unwanted advances to rape.

See what these current and former actresses have had to say regarding alleged incidents with Weinstein.

In a New York Times op-ed published Tuesday, Dec. 12, Salma Hayek wrote that her refusal of Weinstein’s sexual advances made for nightmarish working conditions on the set of the 2002 Frida Kahlo biopic, “Frida.” Hayek, who regularly stared in Weinstein films, explains that he would make outrageous demands as payback for her refusal including a demand that she perform a sex scene with full frontal nudity. In order to finish the film, Hayek reluctantly agreed but wrote that her “body wouldn't stop crying and convulsing” during filming.

In a New York Times op-ed published online Thursday, Oct. 19, "Queen of Katwe" actress Lupita Nyong’o recounted her interactions with Weinstein, including one in 2011, when Nyong’o was attending Yale School of Drama. She writes that the movie mogul invited her to his Connecticut home for a film screening, where he proceeded to call her to his bedroom and ask that they massage each other. She says she half-obliged by massaging him, rationalizing that body work was part of her drama school curriculum, but that when Weinstein talked about wanting to remove his clothing, she left.

Rosanna Arquette told The New Yorker in an article published online Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2017, that in the early 1990s, she and Weinstein had arranged for her to pick up a script over dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel, but instead she was summoned to his room, where he made sexual advances on her, which Arquette said sent her into "a fight-or-flight moment." Arquette later appeared in "Pulp Fiction," executive-produced by Weinstein, but told The New Yorker she believes she lost at least one role for rejecting his advances.

She says the first occurred in 1995 in Weinstein’s hotel room, where he started to massage her, making her “very uncomfortable.” She said he tried to get more physical, “sort of chasing [her] around” before she left. Sorvino says weeks later, Weinstein showed up uninvited to her New York City apartment, bypassing her doorman and leaving her "terrified."

Monkey," released in the United States by Miramax in 1999, says in The New Yorker's Oct. 10 story that two years earlier, she was invited to what she thought was a party, but instead was led by one of Weinstein's producers to a hotel room where Weinstein was waiting, alone. Argento says he then raped her, though she later had consensual, but one-sided sex, with him over the next five years, and the two developed a friendship. Argento told The New Yorker she was left feeling guilty, "responsible" and "damaged."
