“I had to push him down”

Eva Green joins a long list of stars who have accused disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment.

In a statement to diversitythe 37-year-old Penny novel The star claimed she had to push Weinstein away after he made sexual advances to her at a business meeting in Paris.

These allegations come a day after Green’s mother, French actress Marlene Jobert, first revealed that her daughter had also been “sexually harassed” by the film mogul for two years in 2010 and 2011.

“My daughter Eva was the victim of this terrible man,” the 76-year-old star told radio station Europe 1, adding that she was speaking on her daughter’s behalf. “At the time I was really horrified, so outraged that I wanted to do something, but my daughter said: ‘No way! You don’t know what evil he is capable of.'”

In her statement to diversityGreen explained that while she wanted to maintain her privacy, she was now ready to talk about it herself.

“I want to address comments my mother made about Harvey Weinstein in a recent interview,” Green wrote. “I met him for a business meeting in Paris where he behaved inappropriately and I had to send him away. I got away without it going any further, but the experience left me shocked and disgusted.”

“I haven’t spoken out about this before because I wanted to protect my privacy, but I understand it’s important to do so as I hear about other women’s experiences,” she continued. “Women are often judged when they speak out and their reputations are damaged by being associated with them.”

Green, who worked with Weinstein on the film in 2014, Sin City: A lady you would kill foris one of dozens of women who broke their silence this week to accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct – including Gwyneth Paltrow, Cara Delevingne, Ashley Judd and Angelina Jolie.

“I admire the great courage of the women who have come forward,” Green concluded. “We should recognize that this type of behavior exists everywhere and that it is not just in the entertainment industry. Power abuse is everywhere. This behavior is unacceptable and must be eliminated.”

Before Green’s story, eight women spoke out against Weinstein in a bombshell New York Times The report, published on October 5, accuses the mogul of inappropriate behavior. The newspaper also reported that Weinstein had reached private settlements with eight women, including actress Rose McGowan.

Following the initial report, Weinstein said in a statement that he was working with therapists and planned to “face this issue head-on.” He has since been fired from his influential studio, the Weinstein Company, and his wife, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, has announced that she is leaving him.

“My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered so much because of these unforgivable acts. I have decided to leave my husband. The care of my young children is my top priority and I ask that the media respect their privacy during this time,” Chapman said in a statement to PEOPLE.

On Tuesday, Paltrow and Jolie added their own accounts of alleged abuse – Paltrow claimed to the Just that Weinstein sexually harassed her in a hotel room when she was 22, and Jolie claimed to the outlet that she had been sexually assaulted during the release of Play by heart in the late 90s.

Also on this day, The New Yorker revealed – among 13 different women’s accounts of alleged sexual harassment, assault or rape – that the mogul allegedly forcibly performed oral sex on Italian actress Asia Argento two decades ago. Actresses Mira Sorvino and Rosanna Arquette also claimed that after rejecting Weinstein’s unwanted advances, they were excluded from or prevented from being cast in projects.

In response to the extensive allegations against Weinstein in New Yorker A spokesman for Weinstein stated in the article: “All allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.”

Weinstein spoke to cameras on Wednesday as he left his daughter’s home in Los Angeles, saying he was “not feeling well” and that he was hoping for a “second chance” in light of the allegations.

A source confirmed to PEOPLE that the 65-year-old flew from Los Angeles to a luxury resort.
