“He asks me questions about my intimate life.” in the video, Letitia Casta tells about her meeting with Harvey Weinstein.

Laetitia Casta will be shown on October 11 Agreement A film by Vanessa Filho, adapted from the novel by Vanessa Springora, echoes the Me Too movement launched in 2017 by the Harvey Weinstein case. the American producer was accused by more than 80 women and convicted in 2020 of sexual assault and rape. Guest on the set of the show Seven to eight This Sunday, October 1, the 45-year-old actress was asked about the predators in the film industry.

“The predator comes very early in life, it’s not tied to the environment,” actress and model explains to journalist Audrey Crespo-Mara. “It is there from the beginning, in every child’s life. I remember very well the year 12 when I left school. I knew how to recognize danger because I was taught in my upbringing. I was told to be careful about what is right and what is wrong.”

But it is a specific episode that he later evokes. His meeting with a famous producer at the Cannes festival before the public accusations of which he was the subject. Then he tried an approach. “We talk about movies, work, then when he asks me questions about my personal life, I tell him that there is a man in my life and show him photos of my children. And it was settled. This type of influence, as Harvey Weinstein was able to exert on these women, happens as soon as there is power. It is terrible to use such a topic as cinema or literature,” he laments.

Today, the mother of four children refuses to engage in psychological considerations about the producer. “I don’t know what happened in his head, but in any case, I am very clear. It’s so much in my genes that when faced with difficult situations, I’ve always been able to bounce back. But it is not given to everyone. And that’s why the movie Consent it is important. Because we show exactly how the predator comes in like an octopus to destabilize you, create a vacuum around you, and take control.” To the sages.
