Sean Young claims Harvey Weinstein got 'naked' in front of her

ANI  |  Washington D.C [USA] 

Actress Sean Young has come forward with sexual harassment allegations against the disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

Young, who is best known for her role as Rachael in 1982's 'Blade Runner' claimed Weinstein once exposed himself to her while she was working on a movie produced by his former production company, Miramax, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

While appearing for podcast to talk about in Austin to talk about her involvement in the new 'Blade Runner 2049', the actress recalled working in the 1992 film 'Love Crime' where she talk about the alleged attack saying, "personally experienced him pulling his you-know-what out of his pants."

"My basic response was, 'You know, Harvey, I really don't think you should be pulling that thing out, it's not very pretty,'" Young added.

"And then leaving, and then never having another meeting with that guy again, because it was like, 'What on earth?'"

The 57-year-old actress went on to say that she believed many other women didn't come out to tell their stories of harassment because of the system.

"The minute you actually stand up for yourself in Hollywood, you're the crazy one," she stated.

Since that incident, Young revealed she never shot for the Miramax film again.

The actress joins over the growing number of 40 other women who have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct, harassment assault and rape.

The producer is currently being investigated by the police.
