Harvey Weinstein
Many believe she is talking about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The shamed mogul allegedly sexually assaulted many women in the movie industry.
In the aftermath of Weinstein’s scandal, Delevingne said he had phoned her to ask about her sexual orientation and whether she slept with all the women she had worked with. Moreover, the actress said he made unwanted advances to her in a hotel room.
‘It was a very odd and uncomfortable call….,’ she wrote on Instagram in October 2017.
‘I answered none of his questions and hurried off the phone but before I hung up, he said to me that If I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I’d never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood.’
She also wrote: ‘I was so hesitant about speaking out. I didn’t want to hurt his family.’
Cara Delevingne joined the WhyIDidntReport conversation
The hashtag campaign has been launched after US President Donald Trump suggested the victims of sexual misconduct should alert the authorities at the time of the incident.
Whit this statement, Trump weighed in on the conversation around Brett Kavanaugh, the President’s pick for a position on the US Supreme Court. Kavanaugh allegedly assaulted several women when he was a teenager.
