Lawsuit Claims Weinstein Bragged About Having Sex With Jennifer Lawrence; Lawrence Responds

Amanda Prestigiacomo

An actress whose identity has not been disclosed claims in a lawsuit that mega-Democratic donor and Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein sexually abused her for years and bragged about having sex with actress Jennifer Lawrence, a claim the “Hunger Games” star has denied.

In a new lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County, the unnamed woman details Weinstein allegedly luring her to a hotel room to sexually abuse her under the pretense of a business-type meeting about her career. Weinstein apparently bragged about bedding Lawrence as an example of his Hollywood clout, since the actress snagged a Best Actress Academy Award in 2012 for her starring role in “Silver Linings Playbook,” which was produced by The Weinstein Company.
