Report: Harvey Weinstein Seemed to Confirm Physical Contact with Model
According to the New York Daily News, Harvey Weinstein seemed to confirm that he came into physical contact in an inappropriate way with Italian model Ambra Battilana in a phone call with her that was being monitored by police.
Last week, Battilana told police that Weinstein had grabbed at her breasts and genitals in what the Daily News characterized as a "casting couch come-on."
"She said something to the effect that she was uncomfortable with him doing that," a source told the Daily News. "And he said something to the effect, 'It won’t happen again.'"
No charges have been brought against Weinstein. The comments, the Daily News' source clarified, were not a confession, but seemed to confirm that what Battilana has accused Weinstein of did take place.
