Sienna Miller claims Harvey Weinstein made her cry after lecturing her for partying too much

Actress Sienna Miller says fallen movie mogul Harvey Weinstein reduced her to tears when she was a young star — lecturing her about her partying before slamming a door in her face, according to a new interview.

“He called me in to his office — he had just bought [2006’s Factory Girl],” the British actor told Elle UK, referencing the biographical film on 1960s socialite Edie Sedgwick in which Miller played the titular role.

“He sat me down, stood up, and said, ‘You’re not partying anymore,'” Miller continued, according to the UK Independent.

Miller likened the encounter to a father lecturing his daughter.

“It felt like a paternal lecture,” she said. “He slammed the door and I burst into tears.”

The Miramax co-founder, 67, has been accused of sexually harassing dozens of women over decades as one of the most powerful men in Hollywood — his case sparking the #MeToo movement.

Weinstein is set to stand trial in Manhattan Supreme Court in Jan. on rape charges — he has denied all the allegations against him.

Miller, 37, endorsed the #MeToo movement, telling Elle: “Women have been undermined and undervalued.”

“That this is happening is essential,” the New York-born actress said.

Weinstein is a POS, make no mistake, but this story hardly compares to the rapes, indecent exposure, sexual touching, sexual harassment and blacklisting this monster engaged in. I'm not saying Weinstein was right to patronise Miller this way, but it seems a little insensitive to compare this to his genuine litany of sins.

When a serial rapist like Weinstein is so shocked by your low moral values to the point he needs to call you out, you know you need to go to church to reconnect with Jesus before your soul get total condemnation

You know, I think we are starting to scrape the proverbial bottom of the accusations barrel here.
A producer made a young actress cry by saying mean things. Extra extra, read all about it.
Show business has always been a tough racket full of blunt assholes hurting one another’s feelings. Is it nice? No. But it is what it is.

Sienna would have been 24-25 at the time. Old enough not to cry when called out by a producer.

That was probably the most decent, innocent, and well-intentioned interaction that Weinstein ever had with a young actress!

You know things are bad when Harvey Weinstein tells you to stop partying.
