Obscene new claims levelled against Harvey Weinstein

He's the Hollywood producer caught in the midst of a scandalous sexual allegations storm.

But the claims against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein are just getting seedier by the second.

Former news anchor Lauren Sivan told the Huff Post about an alleged incident, where Harvey Weinstein forced her to watch him masturbate in a restaurant until he ejaculated into a potted plant in the hall.

The journalist says the incident happened when she rejected his advances, telling him she had a boyfriend.

After, she said he turned to her and said, 'Well, can you just stand there and shut up' until after he'd finished touching himself. She told the publication she was 'trapped' by Weinstein’s body in a hallway and was 'intimidated.'

Unfortunately, she felt at the time she couldn't come forward as she feared Weinstein's 'power,' but she did tell several friends.

Lauren isn't the first woman to come forward since the The New York Times published a series of sexual harassment claims against the movie producer.

It reported he harassed female employees for nearly 30 years and reached at least eight settlements with women to keep his behaviour covered up.

Harvey Weinstein has since been sacked after the production company he co-founded discovered 'new information' about his 'misconduct.'

The 'new information' they're thought to be referring to are the mounting number of women who are now coming forward with their own harrowing detailed allegations.

Lauren has since taken to Twitter to defend herself for speaking out when many questioned why she waited 10 years to share the accusations.

Harvey, 65, is married to designer Georgina Chapman, 41, and has denied the allegations, telling the Mail Online the claims had forced him to have 'really tough' chats with his family.

"I have a journey and I have to prove to every person that's out there that I'm worthy of them and I have to prove to my family the same thing," he told the publication, shortly after the claims surfaced. "This is going to be a journey, a lonely journey, but a journey where my wife and kids couldn't be stronger and couldn't be standing behind me more."
