Aspiring actress Kadian Noble, who has sued Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, on Tuesday, held a press conference where she described in detail the alleged assault in France.
Noble said that Weinstein assaulted her and forced her to perform sex acts on him in front of a mirror in his room at Le Majestic hotel during the Cannes Film Festival in 2014, reports TMZ.
"And I kept saying no, and I just felt so stupid. But at the same time a massive part of me had shut down. It makes no sense that I didn't run out of the room. And all I was able to do was just say no," she said.
Even after the assault, Noble recalled, she was waiting for Weinstein to call her.
"I'd been mentally battered but I was still holding onto some type of hope," she said.
The 31-year-old, on Monday, sued Weinstein, his brother, Bob Weinstein, and the Weinstein Co., saying they violated U.S. sex trafficking laws when the disgraced Hollywood mogul allegedly assaulted her in 2014.
