Cara Delevingne claims Harvey Weinstein tried to kiss her and wanted her to take part in a THREESOME in his hotel suite
CARA Delevingne has become the latest star to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexually harassing her as she claimed he tried to force himself on her.
The model-turned-actress said after meeting the Hollywood producer at a restaurant, he asked her to come up to his hotel room where another woman was waiting.
Weinstein then apparently told the two women to kiss, which Cara said she escaped from by suddenly breaking out into song.
She made the explosive claims on Instagram as she told how Wenstein tried to kiss her "on the lips".
The 25-year-old said she still got the part in the film but has felt "guilty and terrified" about it ever since.
Cara has made two films for the Weinstein company - including her breakout role in Paper Towns in 2015 and recently released Tulip Fever.
Writing on Instagram today, she said: "When I first started to work as an actress, i was working on a film and I received a call from Harvey Weinstein asking if I had slept with any of the women I was seen out with in the media.
"It was a very odd and uncomfortable call....i answered none of his questions and hurried off the phone but before I hung up, he said to me that If I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I'd never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood."
She explained how she met up with him a year later to discuss a film at the hotel with him and a director, who left - leaving Cara, who came out as bisexual in 2015, and Weinstein alone.
The model wrote: "As soon as we were alone he began to brag about all the actresses he had slept with and how he had made their careers and spoke about other inappropriate things of a sexual nature.
"He then invited me to his room."
Cara said she felt "powerless and scared" but hoped she was "wrong about the situation" so she followed him up.
At first she was "relieved" to discover another woman in the hotel room, but he then asked the pair to "kiss" and the other woman "began some sort of advances upon his direction."
Cara said she told Weinstein she had to leave, adding: "He walked me to the door and stood in front of it and tried to kiss me on the lips. I stopped him and managed to get out of the room.
"I still got the part for the film and always thought that he gave it to me because of what happened."
She continued: "Since then I felt awful that I did the movie. I felt like I didn't deserve the part. I was so hesitant about speaking out....I didn't want to hurt his family. I felt guilty as if I did something wrong.
"I was also terrified that this sort of thing had happened to so many women I know but no one had said anything because of fear."

It comes just hours after Hollywood star Ewan McGregor slammed Weinstein, 64, saying he heard "rumours" about the movie mogul's behaviour over many years.

HER ACCOUNT IN FULL
“When I first started to work as an actress, I was working on a film and I received a call from Harvey Weinstein asking if I had slept with any of the women I was seen out with in the media. It was a very odd and uncomfortable call.
“I answered none of his questions and hurried off the phone but before I hung up, he said to me that if I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I’d never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood.
“A year or two later, I went to a meeting with him in the lobby of a hotel with a director about an upcoming film. The director left the meeting and Harvey asked me to stay and chat with him.
“As soon as we were alone he began to brag about all the actresses he had slept with and how he had made their careers and spoke about other inappropriate things of a sexual nature.
“He then invited me to his room.
“I quickly declined and asked his assistant if my car was outside. She said it wasn’t and wouldn’t be for a bit and I should go to his room.
“At that moment I felt very powerless and scared but didn’t want to act that way hoping that I was wrong about the situation. When I arrived I was relieved to find another woman in his room and thought immediately I was safe.
“He asked us to kiss and she began some sort of advances upon his direction. I swiftly got up and asked him if he knew that I could sing. And I began to sing.
“I thought it would make the situation better - more professional, like an audition. I was so nervous.
“After singing I said again that I had to leave. He walked me to the door and stood in front of it and tried to kiss me on the lips. I stopped him and managed to get out of the room.
“I still got the part for the film and always thought that he gave it to me because of what happened.
“Since then I felt awful that I did the movie. I felt like I didn’t deserve the part. I was so hesitant about speaking out.
“I didn’t want to hurt his family. I felt guilty as if I did something wrong. I was also terrified that this sort of thing had happened to so many women I know but no one had said anything because of fear.”
She later posted a second message on the social networking site.
It read: “I want women and girls to know that being harassed or abused or raped is NEVER their fault and not talking about it will always cause more damage than speaking the truth.
“I am relieved to be able to share this. I actually feel better and I’m proud of the women who are brave enough to speak.
“This isn’t easy but there are strength in our numbers. As I said, this is only the beginning. In every industry and especially in Hollywood, men abuse their power using fear and get away with it. This must stop.
“The more we talk about it, the less power we give them. I urge you all to talk and to the people who defend these men, you are part of the problem.”
