Harvey Weinstein’s former assistant says she tried to prevent him abusing women two decades ago. Ms Perkins quit Weinstein’s film company in 1998, along with a colleague who accused the movie mogul of trying to rape her. Ms Perkins told The Associated Press: “I have no idea if any of the obligations were upheld.”Ms Perkins is due to give evidence before MPs investigating workplace sexual harassment. The agreement Ms Perkins signed kept her quiet about Weinstein’s behaviour for almost 20 years. After a couple of job interviews in Britain where people “presumed that I’d been his girlfriend”, Ms Perkins left for several years.
