Woman claims Harvey Weinstein assaulted her at Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion
A woman has alleged that disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her at Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida home while rapper Jay-Z was also present, RadarOnline.com reports.
The allegation emerged in an FBI intake document released by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The alleged incident occurred in 1996, when the woman — whose name was redacted — told investigators she had been “kidnapped” from her home by a stranger, according to the July 2019 FBI filing.
She “woke up later in the presence of Harvey Weinstein and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) while Weinstein had his fingers stuck in it [redacted]”, the document states.
“[Redacted] believed she was at Epstein’s Florida mansion,” it continued.
The woman told authorities she had been kidnapped multiple times, saying she “estimated she had been kidnapped seven times, each time waking up in a lavish indoor environment.” She further alleged that she “suffered sexual abuse on several of those occasions in which Epstein participated,” according to the document.
The alleged victim, who said she had no permanent address and moved between hotels, also claimed she was attacked in 2007 at a party attended by Weinstein and rapper Pusha T.
Neither Jay-Z, whose first name is Shawn Carter, Weinstein, nor Pusha T, have been charged in connection with Epstein-related crimes. Weinstein is currently serving a prison sentence for previous sexual assault convictions unrelated to the allegations detailed in the document.
The woman “also remembered Leon Black and [then] William Barr, current United States [sic] The Attorney General was present at some of the abuse cases,” the document said.
Black, a billionaire financier, was chairman of Apollo Global Management. Barr served as U.S. attorney general during former President Donald Trump’s first term. Neither man has been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
According to the document, the woman said that on each occasion she “believed she had been drugged, which clouded her memory.”
The witness “also believed she was under surveillance and stalking the people involved in the sexual abuse,” authorities wrote.
Although the claims remain unsubstantiated, the publication of the document online has already sparked public backlash. Several high-profile accounts have reportedly unfollowed Jay-Z on Instagram, according to the @PopPulse X account.
Those who unfollowed him reportedly included his mother-in-law, Tina Knowles, singer Rihanna and reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
The Justice Department document does not indicate that the allegations have been verified and that no criminal charges have been filed in connection with the claims.
