'Don't anger the monster', part 1
Rowena Chiu on surviving the Hollywood sexual predator Harvey Weinstein.
Rowena Chiu was just 24 when she became an assistant to the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. She knew he was a difficult boss, but nothing prepared her for what happened one night in Venice in 1998. She says he told her he ‘liked Chinese girls’, and sexually assaulted her in his hotel room. It was the start of a story she never wanted to be part of.
