Harvey Weinstein's former assistant suing for having to clean up his semen and used condoms
Disgraced filmmaker, Harvey Weinstein, who's facing series of sexual
harassment and assault allegations from several actresses has been
slapped with a new lawsuit.
According to Page Six, Weinstein's former assistant, Sandeep Rehal,
26, is suing the disgraced filmmaker for a number of damages including
having her to clean the furniture after his frequent office trysts and
even pick up used condoms and syringes after he injected his penis with a
Viagra-like drug.
Sandeep who worked for Weinstein for two years before she quit in
February 2015 with claims that she “couldn’t take it anymore,” is
equally suing, The Weinstein Company, and the firm’s executive team for
unspecified damages.

Sandeep Rehal “was required to be involved in and aware of the
preparation for, and clean up after, Harvey Weinstein’s extremely
prolific sexual encounters,” her Manhattan federal court suit says.
“Another ‘task’ Ms. Rehal was forced to do to aid Harvey Weinstein’s
sexual encounters was to clean up the semen on the couch in Harvey
Weinstein’s office… on a regular basis,” the suit says.
But the married 65-year-old “Shakespeare in Love” producer needed a
boost to consummate the frequent trysts, so Rehal provided that, too,
she says in court papers.
The 26-year-old managed “the stock of Caverject shots for his
erectile dysfunction,” referring to the medication that’s injected
directly into the penis.
“She had to obtain the shots and keep them stocked in a cabinet
behind her desk at Harvey Weinstein’s TWC office,” the suit says, using
the initials of The Weinstein Company.
“Every time Harvey Weinstein went to meet a woman at a hotel, in the
office, or elsewhere, which occurred on average at least three times a
week when he was in New York, Ms. Rehal was required as part of her job
to provide [him] with a shot, which she placed in his jacket pocket or
in a brown paper bag,” the suit states.
After he’d administer the cringe-worthy injection and have sex with a
stable of “girls” that Rehal maintained in a list, she’d retrieve the
used syringes and condoms from hotel rooms before “housekeeping
personnel would do their work,” the suit says.
The list, called “Harvey’s Friends,” had the women’s names with asterisks next to his favorites.
When Weinstein’s regular London doctor stopped prescribing him the
impotence drugs, he paid Rehal a $500 bonus to find him a replacement
supply, the suit says.
The 11-page suit includes additional sickening details about
Weinstein allegedly rubbing “his large belly” against his young
assistant, groping her thighs and buttocks, and demanding that she “take
dictation of his emails while he was naked.”
He often complimented Rehal for her looks and “leered at her.”
“In a futile attempt to minimize Harvey Weinstein’s comments about
her appearance, Ms. Rehal started wearing pants,” she says in the suit.
He allegedly responded by complaining, “You used to dress so cute and now what’s going on?”
He demeaned his assistant by calling her a “c—t” and a “p—y,” in
front of other company staff and reminded them who was the boss, the
suit says.
“He bragged about his power, stating to Ms. Rehal and other
employees, ‘I am Harvey Weinstein and you are at Weinstein University. I
decide whether or not you graduate,” court papers state.
On numerous occasions he uttered, “What’s wrong Sandeep, is the tampon up too far today?”
Rehal worked at TWC for two years before quitting in February 2015 because she “couldn’t take it anymore.”
“Although Harvey Weinstein told Ms. Rehal when he hired her that “he
was ‘a tough guy and hard to work for,’ she could never have imagined
how awful and terrifying her job would be.” she says in the suit.
“As a result of the hostile work environment caused by the incessant
sexual harassment, Ms. Rehal has suffered, and continues to suffer from
severe emotional distress, anxiety, depression, humiliation, fear,
anguish and loss of self-esteem,” the filing states.
She’s suing Weinstein, The Weinstein Company and the firm’s executives for unspecified damages.
His spokeswoman said, “Mr. Weinstein categorically denies these
claims and his lawyers will respond in the appropriate legal forum with
evidence proving they are untrue.
