Australian Oscar winner Cate Blanchett has joined compatriot Nicole Kidman in making a statement on the bombshell sexual assault allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
“Any man in a position of power or authority who thinks it’s his prerogative to threaten, intimidate or sexually assault any woman he encounters or works alongside needs to be called to account,” Blanchett told Variety.
“It is never easy for a woman to come forward in such situations and I wholeheartedly support those who have.”
Blanchett worked with the Weinstein Co on films such as Carol and The Aviator, for which she won the best supporting actress Oscar.
