Loose Women star Myleene Klass has alleged that Harvey Weinstein once offered her a “sex contract” in return for making her a movie star. The 47-year-old said the uncomfortable encounter happened when she interviewed the disgraced former film producer in Cannes, while working as a CNN reporter.
Reflecting on the moment with Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, she said: “I met Harvey at a party and I did a mini interview with him in like the press run, and then after that he came and found me.
“And I gave him the bare bones of what we were covering, to the point that I was so convinced that we were going to have a work meeting, [like] we were going to actually have it as an interview that I even said, ‘Shall I bring the crew? Or, is this the preliminaries just to pat out what it is we’re going to be discussing?’. And he’s like, ‘It’s fine, don’t bring the crew’.”
Myleene claimed that what followed during their one-to-one chat was an uncomfortable offer of a sex contract proposed by Harvey, now 73.

Quizzed on what this meant by Paul, she explained: “Well, it’s ‘you have sex with me and I’ll make you famous’.
“And I said, ‘I’m already famous in the areas I want to be.’
Myleene recalled that Harvey continued to name the movies she could be in, along with a list of film stars she could be like, but she once again told him she wasn’t interested.
When asked if the producer was this precise about what the contract entailed, she claimed: “Yes,” before adding: “I believe every woman who came forward, because I sat there.
“I was utterly devastated because I didn’t know if I was going to get out.”
Myleene went on to say that she thankfully managed to leave the meeting by telling him “we’d be in touch” in a business-like way.
She added: “Any one woman who’s been in that position where somebody’s being predatory, they don’t have to come with a weapon.
Harvey Weinstein was initially sentenced to 23 years in prison
“You know, it’s, we feel it in our gut, we know immediately when we’re in danger.”
In 2018, Weinstein was arrested in New York City and charged with rape and other sexual offences, following allegations from multiple women who contributed to the rise of the global #MeToo movement.
He was sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2020, though this sentence was overturned last year, after an appeals court ruled that he had not received a fair trial.
During the 2025 retrial, Weinstein was found guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, but acquitted of sexually assaulting Kaja Sokola. The jury did not reach a unanimous verdict on a charge involving Jessica Mann.
In 2023, he received an additional 16-year prison sentence following a separate conviction.
At the time, he maintained his innocence and claimed he had been the victim of a “set-up”.
Weinstein has been accused of sexual misconduct, assault, and rape by more than 100 women in total, though not all allegations led to criminal charges.
