“He turned around and defined me in terms of sexual exoticism, telling me, just before he tried to rape me, that he’d never had a Chinese girl'
Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images In an op-ed for the New York Times, Harvey Weinstein’s former assistant, Rowena Chiu, shared details of the sexual assault she endured at the hands of her former employer, as well as the harrowing experience of being pressured by Weinstein’s lawyers to sign an NDA.
Chiu also described how, during the night of the attempted rape, which happened at a late-night meeting during the Venice Film Festival, she tried to protect herself from Weinstein by wearing two pairs of tights: Chiu managed to get out of the situation, and told Perkins about it the next day. The two women tried reporting Weinstein to higher-ups, but were “shut down” and laughed at. “The message was always the same: Who would ever believe us over the most powerful man in Hollywood?” she wrote.
Chiu accepted a settlement of around $213,000, and she and Perkins were told to never speak about it again. After not being able to find work elsewhere in London, she ended up employed by Miramax again, but in Hong Kong, which she suspected was a way for Weinstein to still keep tabs on her. The trauma from the assault and its aftermath led Chiu to attempt suicide twice before she finally quit.
