Cara Delevingne has alleged that she was sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein at the beginning of her film career, and opened up about the horrendous incident on Instagram. Posting a message which read: "Don't be ashamed to share your story. It will inspire others," she revealed that Harvey had called her up to ask her intrusive questions about her personal life. When meeting him face-to-face, he reportedly bragged about actresses he had slept with and invited her to his room.

Cara bravely opened up about her experience

The Suicide Squad actress explained: "I quickly declined and asked his assistant if my car was outside. She said it wasn't and wouldn't be for a bit and I should go to his room. At that moment I felt very powerless and scared but didn't want to act that way hoping that I was wrong about the situation. When I arrived I was relieved to find another woman in his room and thought immediately I was safe. He asked us to kiss and she began some sort of advances upon his direction. I swiftly got up and asked him if he knew that I could sing. And I began to sing... I thought it would make the situation better... After singing I said again that I had to leave. He walked me to the door and stood in front of it and tried to kiss me on the lips. I stopped him and managed to get out of the room."
