I did not see Harvey again until September 2013 when I was in Toronto for the premiere of “12 Years a Slave,” the first feature film I was in. At an after-party, he found me and evicted whoever was sitting next to me to sit beside me. He said he couldn’t believe how fast I had gotten to where I was, and that he had treated me so badly in the past. He was ashamed of his actions and he promised to respect me moving forward. I said thank you and left it at that. But I made a quiet promise to myself to never ever work with Harvey Weinstein.
Lupita Nyong’o, “Speaking Out About Harvey Weinstein”, The New York Times
“He said he couldn’t believe how fast I had gotten to where I was, and that he had treated me so badly in the past. He was ashamed of his actions and he promised to respect me moving forward.”
Dreams I Have: Tattooing this on the forehead of every man who dares suggest that sexual assault is not, in its basest, simplest form, a refusal to view women as being goddamn human beings. Capable of anything. Deserving respect, as any man would require, simply by existing.
