Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed, sexually intimidated, and/or sexually assaulted them. She told The Guardian that, in the early 1990s, in a hotel room to which he had invited her to watch rushes with him during filming of
Entre a Luz E as Trevas (1993), he tried to force himself on her and masturbated in front of her; the incident left her emotionally scarred and despondent: "It's the single most damaging thing that's happened in my life" and she believes that it ruined her film career.
