Responding to a question about Weinstein's behavior, Salma explained: "I did feel all right (when he bullied me).

"OK, I would shake (afterwards) and it did depress me, but there was a cartoon aspect about the whole thing."

The Desperado actress continued: "When he would call me up (during the making of 'Frida') and scream, 'Why do you have a (monobrow) and moustache? I didn't hire you to look ugly!'

Salma Hayek previously claimed that Weinstein – who was jailed for 23 years in 2020 for various sex crimes against women – never assaulted her because of her friendships with Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney.
