Minka Kelly is opening up about an extremely uncomfortable meeting she once had with Harvey Weinstein.
The 37-year-old The Butler actress – the latest to come forward amid the disgraced film producer’s sexual harassment and assault allegations over the past week – took to Instagram on Friday (October 13) to reflect on her experience.

“I met Harvey at an industry party,” she captioned the powerful photo below. “The following day, my agent said he wanted to see me for a general meeting. The location was set for his hotel room. I wasn’t comfortable with going to his room & said so. The following day, we sat down with an assistant in the hotel restaurant. He bulls–t me for 5 minutes re: movies he could put me in, then asked the assistant to excuse us. As she walked away, he said, ‘I know you were feeling what I was feeling when we met the other night’ and then regaled me with offers of a lavish life filled with trips around the world on private planes etc. IF I would be his girlfriend. Or, ‘We could just keep this professional.’”
“All I knew was not to offend this very powerful man and to get out of the situation as quickly as possible,” Minka wrote. “I told him while flattered, I’d like to keep things professional. He said ‘Fine. I trust you won’t tell anyone about this.’ I said ‘Of course not. Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me,’ – the only way I could think to shut it down gracefully and excuse myself.”
