In what's big news, veteran actor Uma Thurman has revealed that she was sexually assaulted by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
The actress worked with Producer Weinstein in the iconic movie "The Pulp fiction".
In an interview, she said, "He used to spend hours talking to me about the material and complimenting my mind and validating me. It possibly made me overlook warning signs. This was my champion. I was never any kind of studio darling. He had a chokehold on the type of films and directors that were right for me."
