Kate Beckinsale: Harvey Weinstein couldn't remember if he assaulted me or not

PATTRICIA Arquette has taken to Twitter to share her uncomfortable experience with award-winning Hollywood director Oliver Stone after he defended Harvey Weinstein.

In a thread of 13 tweets the Oscar-winning actress shared the moment Stone began talking to her about doing a “very sexual” movie.

She said the meeting was kept professional but “felt weird” when she received long stemmed jungle roses from the legendary film maker afterwards,

2/ then I received from him long stem jungle roses. It's not uncommon to receive flowers but something about them felt weird. I ignored it — Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) October 13, 2017

Arquette received a phone call from Stone’s assistant to make sure she received the gift and he then proceeded to invite her to a screening of Natural Born Killers.

She said something still didn’t feel right.

3/Something felt weird so I asked my boyfriend to go with me. The room was packed. Oliver stopped me coming out of the bathroom — Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) October 13, 2017

Stone then allegedly confronted Arquette about her bringing her boyfriend.

4/ He said "Why did you bring him?" I said "Why is it a problem I brought him? It shouldn't be a problem. Think about THAT Oliver." — Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) October 13, 2017

The actress then goes on to point out the “craggy and uncertain terrain women negotiate in Entertainment and all businesses.”

She said, “By all means this is a problem in Hollywood. But I have also experienced sexual impropriety in a gynaecologist office. It’s everywhere.”

Arquette said she never heard about the movie but didn’t care to.

The posts came around the same time Stone said he didn’t want to denounce disgraced Hollywood mogul, Harvey Weinstein until a trial was held to prove the sexual harassment charges against him.

Former Playboy model Carrie Stevens also recalled an uncomfortable moment with Stone.

In response to the Hollywood Reporter sharing Stone’s views on Weinstein she tweeted:

When I heard about Harvey, I recalled Oliver walking past me & grabbing my boob as he walked out the front door of a party. Two of a kind! — Carrie Stevens (@CarrieStevensXO) October 13, 2017

Stone himself is an acclaimed screenwriter, producer and director, having won several Academy Awards for his work.

At a press conference held at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea he said,

“I believe a man shouldn’t be condemned by a vigilante system. It’s not easy what he’s going through, either.

“During that period he was a rival. I never did business with him and didn’t really know him.”

He added, “I’ve heard horror stories on everybody in the business, so I’m not going to comment on gossip. I’ll wait and see, which is the right thing to do.”
