I use to manage Indian actress Aishwarya Rai. While dealing with Harvey I found it comical how hard he tried to get Aishwarya alone. But he was a pig... looked and acted like a "big bully pig...He asked me to leave the meeting numerous times and I politely declined. When we were leaving his o ice he cornered me and said "what do I have to do to get her alone? I told him to "kiss my black ass. When Ash and I returned to our hotel, I sent Harvey a steel pig trough filled with DIET COKE as a thank you gift for the meeting. Yes, we did do business and Yes, he eventually threatened me. Told me I'd never work in this business, blah blah blah...what I said to him I can't print. But you can be sure, I never gave him the opportunity to even breathe on my client.
Fox News. Weinstein. The President. Such abuses have gone on way before these creeps and will sadly continue until women feel empowered and protected enough to speak out.
They say there's strength in numbers... perhaps. BUT it takes only one brave soul to take the first stand. With social media as your platform, that one brave soul will lead an army, in no time.
Brava Ladies...don't hold back THE TRUTH. Protect one another. Support one another. Love one another.

I KNEW IT!!!! You can see his desperation in the pictures with Ash! Thank God she escaped!! This man should be locked up & jailed. I am sure he has committed more rapes, many more rapes. He has classic sexual predator signs, it doesn't get more obvious than his case.

I am so thankful for her former manager for doing something that's right, and moral - protecting women from disgusting pigs like Weinstein. If there were other victims from Bollywood who faced similar ordeals.

This statement has come out only now!
Is there any chance that Ash convinced her to state this after her pics with Harvey Weinstein got posted all over internet forums and social media?

Anyway it is good that manager protected her. Unlike many unprofessional Indian ones who even fix date and rate of actresses (Rupa Ganguly exposed such managers on Star Plus in an interview).

I wish someday creeps in Indian industry are also exposed the way Weinstein is being exposed now.

Actually it makes sense why Ash never pursued a full-fledged HW career. Too many sharks out there since she was starting over as a newbie again.

One of the most striking things about all these pieces is how many women left the business, after discovering this was how it worked.

Replying to @Salandthebadpun

It makes sense why her Hollywood endeavors stopped cold even after being offered hitch and hancock which were two hits starring Smith.

Now what will people who used to mock Aishwarya's Hollywood career ?
She was hot topic at the time I remember and reading this, the way she finally solely focused on India makes sense.
