Rowena Chiu, a former assistant of Harvey Weinstein, was haunted by a nondisclosure agreement she signed after the disgraced producer allegedly attempted to rape in 1998. And in an exclusive interview with Variety, Chiu breaks her over 20-year-old NDA to share just how invasive, disappointing, and intimidating the entire process was.
and intimidating the entire process was.Chiu explained that going after the Weinstein machine was harder than she ever could have imagined. A 24-year-old Chiu—with the help of Zelda Perkins, a colleague she confided in—hired lawyers and reported the incident to Miramax. But Weinstein’s team intercepted and got the women to sign NDAs instead.
Chiu’s loved ones were also in the crosshairs of the Weinstein team when Chiu and Perkins fought for specific clauses in the NDA that would prevent Weinsten from harming other women. The two women also tried to add clauses to the NDA that would require Weinstein attend sex therapy and that if another woman comes forward with an accusation within two years of the signed NDA and Weinstein wanted to settle with her for upwards of $35,000, he would have to resign from his post at Miramax and report his conduct to Walt Disney Co. The Disney clause made it into the NDA. Whether Weinstein complied is another story.
