Jill Scott: 'Harvey Weinstein was nasty and rude when I was pregnant'

Written by . Published: October 20 2017

Singer and actress Jill Scott has become the latest big name to take a shot at disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, accusing him of making nasty comments about her pregnancy.


The soulful star took to Twitter early on Friday (20Oct17) to recall her awkward encounter with the producer when she was pregnant with her son, Jett Hamilton Roberts.

"1) When I met Harvey Weinstein, he was RUDE. In the NASTIEST tone he said 'Who told you to get pregnant?!' And rolled his eyes in disgust," she wrote.

"2) I stayed away from him after. Who acts that way towards a pregnant woman??"

Jill was luckier than many of her Hollywood peers, who have recounted tales of sexual abuse, rape and harassment in recent days, following the publication of damning Weinstein exposes in The New York Times and the New Yorker.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Mira Sorvino are among the actresses who have spoken out.
