- It is not about sex, it is about domination and control. That's what the British actress Lysette Anthony tells us tonight, as she makes new allegations that she was raped more than once and sexually abused by the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
She is one of around 80 women alleging harassment, sexual assault or rape by Harvey Weinstein. He has always denied having non-consensual sex. He faces a criminal trial in the New Year centred around the allegations of two of the women. We put Ms Anthony's new claims to him today and his representative told us that "allegations are not certainties." They said that Mr Weinstein has the right to due process and the presumption of innocence in his upcoming trial. Our exclusive - and at times harrowing - extended interview with Lysette Anthony includes graphic details concerning her allegations which some people may find distressing.

Well done, Lysette Anthony. You were abused, tricked, and threatened. Don't ever put that crime on yourself as blame or shame. You stand in that truth! ☆
she has pretty eyes...but everything else... meh
She certainly knows how to play the victim role given what a terrible actress she is. They are all victims once the casting couch doesnt work out for them
Just to look at him is a horrendous experience. He is the out birth of disgust.
@@coolkidbmx6851 Women are not objects, however much men might wish us to be.
@@margothilaire4506 Harvey hasnt been fat or old his whole life hun. He didnt age well because he did drugs, booze, and alcohol excessively, add to that his weight and health issues. These things take a toll on everyone. Dont forget he is almost 70 years old. Let see how you will look at his age.
Have a look at Harvey when he was young and thin ( he is the third on right)

He looks nice in that pic. And I believe she is lying. She said she couldnt fight him off because of his heavy weight. Harvey was not fat in the 80s, like she claims.
And oh, regardless of everything Harvey was very charismatic and very charming when he wanted to. He knew how to draw both women and men
My heart is aching . I'm a survivor of sexual assault and I totally understand her. She is so strong. Your son will be so very proud of you xx
Heartbreaking and difficult to watch. I’m a man and I imagine it’s a lot harder to watch this as a woman.
YES, IT MADE ME CRY AND I LOVE THIS WOMAN FOR BEING BRAVE
S. D. It is indeed. Sad that some men would prey on vulnerable young ladies and expect to have happy homes.
@S. D. How privileged the women in your life are to have you.
@@victoriousvalentine9779 some of the accusers maybe lying, but this one is 100% legit
As most of us have experienced this sort of treatment yes. It is hard to watch, it brings back memories.
You were a child. I was a child when I was raped. It changes you. He is a monster. I love you, I support you.
Your not impartial.
Not a child! She claims to be abused, ok but 18/19 is NOT a child. I am always appalled by this manipulation as it puts a teenager/young adult on the same level of decision making or world awareness of a child of let's say 12
@@monicaangelini3324 Exactly. She was older than 18 anyway, because she said that she was 18 the first time she was 'made' to go on the date with him. The other 'event' was years later & she doesn't say how many years later, but she was no child.
She was NOT a child. Under 16 is a child. She was older than 19.
@Jodie Florence Martin de Haro You're absolutely right, rape does change you. The part where you say that you were told never to mention it, because people would think you were damaged goods, is precisely what my Dad said to me, when I finally confided in him aged about 35, that I had been raped at aged 15.
My God this is heartbreaking to watch. God bless you, Lysette. So brave of you to speak out.
I believe her, so many lives shattered by just one horrific man.
He's not the only one. All those people that knew what he did, and didn't call him out, or even tried to imitate him seeing they can get away.
You don't have to believe facts. He did the thing, with or without needing our opinions on it.
@@mariavako some of weinsteins accusers maybe lying, but shes being very honest, the details she gives
@@jmc7504 May be well rehearsed.
@@johnromero1029 I agree. Her body language implies that she is not being honest.
The people who protected him all these years are utterly, utterly vile. 17 min: Lysette is asked 'it didn't occur to you to go to the police.' Lysette is absolutely right - they would have done nothing. No way would the police have dealt with Weinstein, they would have turned it on her, as she says.
The police dismiss everyone's case. The rapists threaten to put the victims in jail for causing a scene.
Many did go to the police. And they were dismissed. Sadly- I had to go through training at work in what to do during a shooting. The training video explained that you don’t know what to do in a situation if you have never imagined yourself IN that situation. So it makes sense those around him had no clue about what to do. Especially when it was socially normal for women to endure this. We were told for generations that this is just how things are done. It wasn’t until recently that workplace sexual harassment was even a thing. It was completely normalized until finally it wasn’t.
I remember a high school philosophy professor of mine saying years ago: “men who rape women destroy the opportunity for the rest of us to love and receive love from them (the victims) ever again”. This story helps explain why my professor was right.
I'm not sure I understand this? Do you mean they destroy the opportunity for the rest of us to love & receive love ever again from the rapist himself? It isn't really clear. It makes sense to me if you're referring to the raped person. Because they have a hard time giving or receiving love after an experience like that.
That is the most rational and logical conclusion to draw by an intelligent human being.
Thank you for that! It is totally true. Our trust is destroyed. Even the sweetest gentlemen pay for the past. It’s not our fault we are like this to them. Thank you for acknowledging this. It helps to know you understand. We don’t mean it. We can’t help it.
@@fasteddie4107 Are you being funny?
I believe Lysette, and I think she's incredibly brave to speak out.
my heart goes out to her, and all the women who has ever had to face this
Yea she bought her first flat at 16. (0:28) Sounds like the sort of gal that had rich 'sponsors'. I wonder what she did for them?!! Whatever it was, must have been very valuable. She was 'made to go' have dinner with Harvey when she was 18 or 19 (0:59). Who made her go? Her pimp?!!
Lets not even explore her comment at 3:57 when she admits being 'fantastically flirtatious..'
I could go on..............
@@jameshart678 James, your comment is beyond obnoxious, and ill informed. It might surprise you to know that Lysette Anthony was a very successful, and well known actress, at a very young age. She bought her apartment with her own money, which she had earned. She is, and was then, very well known in Europe. Again, I'm reminded what a tiny world some Americans inhabit, knowing nothing beyond their own back yards. How dare you speak of any woman the way you have of Ms. Anthony.
@@jameshart678 Lysette Anthony was a very successful actor throughout the 80s and 90s and did a lot of excellent work in very successful film and drama here in the UK. Slither back into your swamp.
@@mbd6054 so, by the logic of your testimony, she should have been perfectly capable of saying no, of recognising romantic overtures, of turning down horse and carriage 'meetings'. What is "beyond obnoxious" about James Hart's comment? Doubting how a highly attractive 16 year old could afford to buy her own flat? Sounds like a very privileged person to me - and I don't buy that modelling and acting equates to having 'earned her own money'; those jobs are simply being *given* money for practically nothing i.e. turn up, dress up, stand here, smile, stand there, sulk - job done. Such 'work' just leaves these people feeling stunned at how easy thousands of pounds fall into their hands. I've met models and talked with them, seen their behaviour and attitudes.
I notice you insult James Hart on the grounds that some Americans know nothing outside their own back yards and then in the next sentence ask how dare he say such a thing about any women - totally oblivious to your own prejudice.
@@pinkpanther776 no she wasn't. She was carving out a career in the 80s and 90s and did 'a lot' of work in various things on screen of varied merit. Do keep it real. Many people wouldn't know her from Adam. She was never a Lindsey Lohan child star type. She was just one of thousands of *actresses*.
Very moving and sincere interview. One brave human she is to speak about her awful experience.
Still very very raw for her. I hope she heals when she's ready.
You can never heal if such a thing happens to you. You can learn to live with it, cope somehow, but you’ll be scarred for the rest of your life.
He prayed on young girls and their naivety, trust, respect for authority and used that to manipulate them for his pleasure.
You hit the nail on the head . I am a guy myself , formerly a ladies guy , but this Weinstein guy's tactics is beneath contempt , exploiting young ladies vulnerablity - something I didn't to .
Actually, no he didn't. He wasn't convicted of pedophilia. He preyed on young *women* who, according to the feminists' narrative, are stunning and brave, intelligent and independent, perfectly capable of looking after themselves, and saying 'no'.
Then, you say he used these weaknesses (which I agree women have) for his pleasure yet he paid them extremely well for it. This wasn't a one-sided thing. Or are we to refute the feminists' rhetoric? Lysette was a business woman who made her own decisions, went to the man's rooms, went with him to dine, knew what was expected of her e.g. 'Go with this man and have dinner with him', and went. Is she an adult or not?
Don't get me wrong. My view is that women are NOT capable of looking after themselves as all these cases show. If they were, sexual predation wouldn't happen and #MeToo wouldn't be necessary; but what do the laws say about women's capabilities? They say they can drive, can drink alcohol, can vote, can work in jobs of responsibility. So why can they do all these things yet not fend off unwanted sexual advances. SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP. I know what it is. Do you? Do any of you?
Keldor D'Antrell it is amazing how someone goes on dates with this ugly fat man, then when raped doesn’t call the police, doesn’t report it to anyone. Then Managed to get a foot up on the acting ladder. To anyone who completely believes this CZcams 10 ways to spot a liar then watch this video..
Preyed !!! Not prayed
@@zainulzainul1880 Why do you keep referring to yourself as 'formerly a ladies man'? We couldn't care less. What has that got to do with ANY of this?
The physical violation is bad enough but it's the life long mental scars Rape victims have to endure is the worst. With united bravery I hope these women and all rape victims receive the justice they deserve. X
It's the hardest interview regarding this case that I've watched. My thoughts are with you, very brave survivor ❤️
Why do people love using the word "survivor" instead of "victim" so much? She's a victim.
@@failedsuccessfully0000 because they survived. Most people don't like being referred to as a victim because it still gives the person who did them wrong a sense of achievement, they turned you into a victim, a survivor no longer wears that title when they're healing.
@@failedsuccessfully0000 she's not a victim or a survivor. She's a professional liar using this in an unsurprising attempt to get another 15 minutes of fame. She had no idea that this thing was going to break - and it certainly didn't break because of her. She's one of the many who kept quiet about if for years.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭you don't know the truth
Hazel Hiscott ll
My heart breaks for her. I'm so sorry she was victimized by fugly human Harvey. I want to call him so much worse. He never cared, such a Horrific predator. You are such a brave woman.
Arranged rape is rape. Aiding a rapist should have serious charges. If therapists excuse it away with trickery they should be charged. I can’t watch it all.
@The Green Pill Mindset if the woman who handed her over knew what Weinswine was like SHE RAN IT. She should be held accountable too!
You can hear the pain in her voice!!🥺☹️
She has always been a great actress
Wow, she was so nervous, he surely messed her up for awhile. But she is to be admired for her strength!!
I believe Lysette. Her words literally strike me deep in my soul. I’ve also been sexually assaulted and her talking about the shame and guilt and disgust tears my heart out.
She's an actress, who went along with it, period
Sexually assaulted TWICE by THE SAME PERSON???
@@leonardoiglesias2394 yes. You are aware that men can rape their wives right? Multiple times. Boyfriends can rape their girlfriends. What exactly is your point?
@@carrietaylor6658 wow! What do you know. Nothing ever gives a right to do this. He is a preditor! Hello!
Nobody had a right into your knickers unless u let them, casting couch syndrome, no sympathy. No is a simple word
my heart is in pieces, lysette i have so much admiration for your bravery and strength.
She seems like she is suffering from post traumatic stress
Amy Seherie yes, absolutely! My heart aches for her!
Totally agree
She is right, back then they would of blamed her in court. That's even if it would of gotten that far.
"I felt soiled". Yup. You just can't get rid of that feeling.....
Very admirable, Lysette Anthony. I can hardly imagine how one summons the courage it takes to come forward. I love your work, and I love the way Hollyoaks addresses contemporary issues, and then offers perspective and resources for help. From, your #1 Hollyoaks fan, in North Carolina!
It's amazing how easy it is to tell when someone is telling the truth
When she talks about “being behind herself” shook me. When it happened that’s how I felt. This disgusting man enters my room and I can’t yell, scream, kick, or do anything because you feel you are not in control.
Monster= Harvey Weinstein.
I PRAY DOR MS ANTHONY'S COMPLETE AND TOTALLY HEALING, HAPPINESS AND 💕 LOVE ✝️✝️✝️✝️👼👼👼👼🪽🪽🪽🪽❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
TOTAL JUSTICE
She's traumatized 😢😢she has blocked this memory and is trying to dig it up so hard.... This man is so UGL... literally that he could see disgust in the faces of all these beautiful women and so he'd use his massive power to suppress them!!!! Disgusting!!!!
Harvey is a sad sack of evil
Yeah he looks like a Ball sack too
His head looks like my ball bag.
Steve Mascari that’s an insult to your ball bag 😂
@@yakkattack ballsacks are much better looking
So brave! She puts into words what so many of us have hidden in some dark part of our minds, especially the reasons why we don't speak about it or report. The disbelief and abuse would feel like being violated again.
Very brave interview, which woulda caused a lot of more difficult nights afterwards. The more you talk about the little pieces you do remember it can be difficult as new bits also return and you start associating them to things in your life just now so there become daily reminders. Well done, and well done to channel 4 for the interview.
She is lying for God sake. Harvey was NOT fat in the early 80s as she claims. She only uses his weight to make her story credible

WEIGHT
@Driada Troplini, He was always big. Try and fight off a 220 lbs man if you're a 130 lbs woman. It's also very normal for rape victims to freeze in the moment or not remembering details. You're bending over backwards in order to defend a predator.
Honest, articulate and so important and valuable to have spoken up like this. That must have been extremely difficult for her. Her son can be proud of this wonderful mother. I hope she feels a sense of comfort with the recent guilty charge he faced. Love to you Lysette. xx
What a beautiful looking lady. so sad she had that pig ( fat pig ) ruin part of her life . I hope she can move on to live happily.
Special lady, how many stories over 100's of years have never been told. Evil people need to be stopped one way or another.
So very eloquent, well done. Huge respect. Thank you.
She called other victims, who didn't speak out, "cowards" and tells them to be "ashamed of themselves"!? ... That's a very thoughtless and harsh judgement IMO.
After saying she didn't speak out at first because she was afraid her husband would leave her....and she would have been destroyed. Well.......
She doesn't even know many of the other victims or their circumstances.
People should be allowed to make their own decisions. Do they need her judgement?
@@noongourfain Whether we like it or not, people should have the right to judge whatever they like. It's called freedom. We have the freedom to ignore them if we choose to.

What an amazingly brave woman. As a victim of a sexual assault myself, I totally identify with everything she said she felt at the time and afterwards. We are not to blame. I’m so pleased she now has her brilliant career, lovely supportive son, health and happiness. Bless and thank you Lysette for speaking out. Xxx
So sorry that you had to go through something so awful too. I hugely respect people who speak out about these things. Best wishes ❤
@@katykatekatecooper7284 That’s a lovely, generous thing to say and I truly appreciate you taking the time to reply to me. Sexual assault can happen to anyone no matter how self assured, confident or strong we think we are. It takes us by surprise and can cause untold feelings of stupidity, hurt and self hatred, embarrassment, humiliation etc. None of which we should feel of course, but sometimes, we do. Always err on the side of caution and be as self protecting as you can be. Love and hugs to you xx
@@rainbowlady1377 absolutely any time and sadly I have experienced only a fraction of this but nonetheless terrifying. I wish you future happiness with lots of love & hugs from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤🤍💚
Almost every woman have an encounter of some form of sexual harassment, it's very difficult to talk about esp if you find yourself in the person's space who would believe you. Men use a woman's vulnerability to overpower you just freeze in that moment your soul leaves your body. You feel trapped so if someone want to judge be in that situation and see how you would react. It's scars of a lifetime.
The most likely feeling these ladies felt was " I 'd be damned if I do it , I 'd be damned of I don't " being young , naive and dependent of him for their future in filmdom . And this animal exploited their vulnerablity .
I dont think it is that.. They froze.. The man is huge.. The ugliness of the whole situation and the absurdity will make you retroactively try to make sense of the trauma and also simultaneously dismiss it. Trauma bonding..
Giving up is the hardest thing to come to terms with in the moment I think. Realizing that it IS happening and there is NOTHING you can do to stop it. It makes you feel so confused afterwards like, *Did I just allow that to happen? Was that rape or...no?* 🤔 And on top of it all you feel dirty and worthless. I wouldn’t wish the nightmare on my worst enemy.
Love Lysette more than ever! 👌👏👌👏👏 She’s ageless. 🙏 She’s right on. There’s unconscious guilt that he preys on. 🙄

Oh wow he needs to see no daylight because you believe the 'he said - she said' stories?? And she is so lying! She says she couldnt fight him off because he was fat and jeavy built. Harvey was not fat in the 80s. He only got fat in the early 90s.

What a sickening monster of a man! Thank goodness he's now paying for it. You are very brave for speaking out and should be proud of yourself! It was heart breaking to listen to!
So proud of you for speaking out.
Bless you Lysette, I do so wish there was a law that would put those that knew this was happening and did nothing , aiding and abetting , were also put on trial for their crimes
I hate that this happened to you! I wish someone had protected you! Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming forward. Hopefully your story will prevent other women from handing these young girls out to horrible horrible men!!
Now we see the underbelly of the power brokers who own and run Hollywood. Same for financial sector in NYC.
And Britain. Remember, they told her to be quiet.
Predators and handlers deviants should never be free or have power
well done for speaking out and i can see how hard that was!
Sending you love. How truly terrible that you felt shame for so many years - un-protected by those who should have protected you. I can understand that you just wanted to forget it had happened and stay quiet, but I hope that it has helped you now to speak out. You are a beautiful lady and so strong.
I disagree with her calling the other woman in England cowards when she clearly couldnt and didnt say anything years ago, but now she feels stronger she has said something. But some woman have convinced themselves that there nothing, and loathe themselves, have self doubt, no self esteem, no strength or support so feel they can't speak up as emotionally haven't the will or strength. Its a shame and what annoyed me about this woman speaking of her ordeal was that she said they other women who were raped and havent spoke up were cowards and that is totally wrong cause years ago she never spoke up
I didn't like her saying that she would like to see all movies and shows shut down because that would make all of our lives awful because we wouldnt have a script to live our lives by🙄 ....I know she's upset but that kind of ego could also be why her career doesn't exist

Funny how every time Harvey Weinstein is mentioned on YT, there's an unusual amount of victim blamers and gaslighting in the comment section.
so-called "victims" like her are doing a lot of harm for sexual freedom in our society - we could live in a much more liberal sexual society if stories like this didn't make people afraid to express the sexual side of their personalities

Very brave and courageous of you Lysette to speak publicly of your experience. I hope those other people who allowed this to carry on and were part of this of take note and stop being complicit in this type of culture.
When she says “cowards” I felt that 10000%. I know many cowards.

Amazing woman!👏 so brave I hope she knows how much her speaking out is to survivors. So much respect I hope you know.
It never the victims fault
Never. Everyone knows when someone isn't interested. Everyone.
It is not Lysettes fault, he planed and predated this in a careful way by using a mixture of pressure on her through her agents and employers. He positioned himself to be able to discredit any charges of sexual assault. Very evil and fairly bold and clever by design. However there are such things as fake rape allegations and a very drunk girl going of with a very drunk boy and regretting it and calling that rape. This is not one of those cases. Let’s not get absolute. The reason Lysette had problems with this is the fake rape allegations of other women.
It’s NEVER the victims fault?? The first time maybe not... but the SECOND time ... come on!!!!
I disagree

Please know you have tremendous support for what you were put thru. I am so so sorry it happened to you.
You are amazing, Lysette. I'm so sorry for what you've gone through.
Thank you, you brave wonderful women. Thank you for speaking out. I'm so so sorry he put you thru that.
It is extremely difficult to speak up about sexual assault. Many people still shame and blame. I have had it done to me. I have been told to shut up about it. But I refuse to be silent about what happened to me. So understand how beyond difficult it is. She is so brave.
You are very brave and very resilient and I can see what a terrible impact this has had on you! He’s in jail now and he will suffer and I hope he does. This may be little comfort but you were practical...you worked out the consequences of speaking out and you made the best of it!
I hope you can rest a bit easier now and move on with your life. You have a good son and you are still largely intact as a person. I really admire you and hope you read this!
OH MY GOD .....I LOVE THIS WOMAN. SHE IS SO REAL
"if you were braver, would it have stopped him?" is the nicest question ever asked to an interviewee in the history of channel 4
Oh Jeez, I was wrong, the follow-up question was "what would justice look like to you" - the real answer is getting my youthful manipulation back. It ain't going to happen. No matter how much you manipulate the legal system.

JayJay Tailor I agree JJ. I was just thinking about a response but when I read your comment I realised that you have used the words I was struggling to find.

@@kathleenfitzsimons3388 I remember her from sitcoms in the early 80s, but don't know any other work she has done. I was very touched by this interview and was furious with a lot of the vile comments left by some....all of whom were male....ugh!!
I don't want to compare situations. I know there is a big difference, but, as a 43 year old man who was over powered and raped by a man when I was 14, I feel confident in saying EVERYTHINGS this woman says is 100% fact. She's not lying about any of it.
Society, in general, has always stigmatized the victims instead of the perpetrators. No wonder she didn't come forward earlier.

Thank you for speaking up..👏🙏🌹
Such a powerful interview with an incredible lady.
I believe her. In that industry, everyone is hungry for money & fame. Your agent pushes you to do things without explaining, just that you had to do it, it’s going to open doors for you. If you’re a child or young girl, it takes a really good parent to guide you & protect you. Your agent and others around you don’t care about you.
what a brave woman to be able to relive this terrible nightmare. I salute you , you are a wonderful person and I am glad Weinstein got his comeuppance
Devastating and heartbreaking. Very, very hard to watch.
It's heartbreaking listening to her. 💔💔🙊😢How did he get away with this for so long. Shame on those around him, those who new and turned a blind eye. Shame on you.
BRAVO LYSETTE for TELLING what REALLY HAPPENED. WE BELIEVE YOU! It WAS NOT YOUR FAULT! Harvey is to blame, he knew that he was doing things wrong, he is just lying now. And back then people would not have believed you, they would have protected Harvey, and blamed you. OUR PATRIARCHAL CULTURE would have supported HIM...ugh. BRAVO to YOU!!! You are BRAVE and have INTEGRITY!!! THANK YOU
I'm sure 90% of us believe her, but for that small percentage who are on the fence, physically acting out an account as you're telling it is a really strong indicator of veracity.
And it can be over the top, just like Amber Heard's acting in court.
He’s locked up, and I hope he never gets out.
Why wouldnt we believe her???!!! Dont understand why so many comments starting off with "I believe her"!!
Because she is fucking lying thats why!! She uses Harvey's weight to make her story credible but Harvey in the early 80s was NOT fat. Google his pictures. Here is a link

Illse Jackson, some men and women sadly do lie about rape etc I know one girl who lied about being sexually assaulted. It's not nice to falsely accusing someone of rape. But it happens. But I believe Lysette's story.
@Roxie Rocks No, she did NOT use fat as an insult to him but as a factor on why she couldnt fight him off. Heavy built my foot. He was not fat in the 80s and he was very thin in the late 70s. He became overweight in the early 90s
Driada Troplini Harvey is already fat, and certainly unattractive in that photo to the point of vaguely disgusting. He’s there with another member of his tribe. There are parallels with the Rotherham grooming scandal of 3400 underage White girls that occurred in English cities.
1 target was White girls both in England and Hollywood.
2 victimisers belonged to a different ethnic group to the victim so didn’t care about the damage they caused.
3 political correctness protects the victimisers.
Hollywood is run by the tribe for the tribe. Open your eyes.
Roxie Rocks I believe her 100%. When I listen to those girls in American college campuses I don’t believe their fake rape claims generally instinctively because my bullshit detectors go off. They don’t with this woman. No inconsistencies.
