Since actress Ashley Judd revealed her story to the New York Times about Weinstein, others have come out on social media to share their personal experiences with the notorious filmmaker.

One of them is Kate Beckinsale, who shared her story that happened when she was only 17 years old on Instagram.

On her post, Beckinsale shared that she was invited by Weinstein at the Savoy Hotel, wherein he greeted her at his hotel room with only a bathrobe on. Beckinsale said that Weinstein offered her alcohol which she declined. She then told him afterward that she had school the next day.

But even though Beckinsale turned Weinstein down, she reveals that the film producer repeatedly approached her to no success.

"I said no to him professionally many times over the years-some of which ended up with him screaming at me calling me a cunt and making threats, some of which made him laughingly tell people oh 'Kate lives to say no to me,'" the actress said in her post.

Beckinsale added that Weinstein's statement spoke volumes about how it was known in the industry that she was rejecting him, which, in turn, affected her career.

Another actress that has come forward with her experience with Weinstein is Cara Delevingne.

In Delevingne's post, she shared how Weinstein trapped her into going up to his room, where he instructed another woman to make sexual advances to her. When Delevingne insisted that she needed to leave, Weinstein blocked the door and tried to kiss her.
