Veteran stage actor Steven Berkoff has suggested some of Harvey Weinstein’s victims ‘allowed themselves to be abused’ to win parts.

The playwright and actor said the disgraced movie mogul’s alleged sex offences were ‘totally abhorrent’ but that some actors would ‘sell their souls for a role’.

The 81-year-old was promoting his latest production, Harvey, a monologue in which he plays Weinstein, 66, who has been charged with the rape and sexual abuse of two women.

The claims against Weinstein, which he denies, triggered the global #MeToo movement that led to a wave of protests against sexual misconduct in the workplace, often by powerful men.

Berkoff told the Daily Telegraph: ‘I don’t think [the sexual activity] was ever consensual in the sense that it’s consensual when a man and woman are attracted to each other.

'He knew himself to be unattractive and assumed his power would attract women.

‘I would say he thought he was making a deal. I think it would be very unlikely that some women weren’t aware of what was going on and allowed themselves to be abused, because they felt, at the end of it, there might be a cheque or a part. 

'People will sell their souls for a role.’

Berkoff, who has played villains from King Herod to Adolf Hitler, as well as a Bond baddie in Octopussy, said: ‘Using power for sex is the worst kind of blackmail, but in a way he’s a victim of his time.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
