Thurman became the latest of more than 70 women who have accused 65-year-old Weinstein of sexual misconduct, including rape. A spokeswoman for Weinstein said on Saturday that he had apologized to Thurman for making an "awkward pass" at her 25 years ago, but that her claims about being physically assaulted were untrue. In the Times article, Thurman, 47, said Weinstein pushed her down when she met him in his suite at London's Savoy Hotel. Asked for further comment by Reuters, a representative for Thurman said the Times article spoke for itself. The spokeswoman said Weinstein's attorney, Ben Brafman, would issue a more detailed response to the allegations later.
