"I use(d) to manage Indian actress Aishwarya Rai. While dealing with Harvey, I found it comical how hard he tried to get Aishwarya alone.”
"But he was a pig... Looked and acted like a 'big bully pig'. He asked me to leave the meeting numerous times and I politely declined." Simone Sheffield wrote in the post.

Popularly known as India's deemed Bollywood goddess Aishwarya, who had won the title of Miss World has worked in many Hollywood projects such as 'Bride & Prejudice', 'Mistress of Spices' and 'The Pink Panther 2'.

Sheffield, who claimed to be the manager of Aishwarya's international projects at one point, further wrote: "When we were leaving his (Weinstein's) office, he cornered me and said, 'What do I have to do to get her alone?' I told him to 'kiss my black ass'.”
"When Ash and I returned to our hotel, I sent Harvey a steel pig trough filled with diet coke as a thank you gift for the meeting. Yes, we did do business and yes, he eventually threatened me.”
"Told me I'd never work in this business, blah blah blah. What I said to him I can't print. But you can be sure, I never gave him the opportunity to even breathe on my client."

Several women in the west such as popular Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, Ashley Judd and Gwyneth Paltrow have come out and spoken about their experiences with Weinstein.
