Madonna: Harvey Weinstein 'crossed lines and boundaries' when we worked together

"I was aware that he did the same with a lot of other women that I knew in the business," Madonna has said of Harvey Weinstein.

Madonna has become the latest star to speak out about Harvey Weinstein, saying the now disgraced film mogul "crossed lines and boundaries" when they worked together.

In a new interview with the New York Times Magazine, celebrating Madonna at Sixty, the star was asked for her thoughts on the Time's Up movement, which was founded in Hollywood after the first allegations were made against Weinstein in 2017.

Miramax, the company Weinstein owned with his brother, distributed the documentary film Truth Or Dare, also known as In Bed With Madonna, in 1991.

"Harvey crossed lines and boundaries and was incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward with me when we were working together; he was married at the time, and I certainly wasn't interested," Madonna said in the interview.

"I was aware that he did the same with a lot of other women that I knew in the business. And we were all, 'Harvey gets to do that because he's got so much power and he's so successful and his movies do so well and everybody wants to work with him, so you have to put up with it'."

Madonna, who performed at Eurovision last month, spoke about her feelings when the allegations against Weinstein were made public.
