Moreover, Hollywood actress Salma Hayek recently made new revelations about Weinstein that the convicted sex offender used her ‘way of screaming’ to try and ‘repress’ her further. The acting diva first went public in 2017 with allegations of sexual harassment towards her while she was making the 2002 film Frida.
