Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o has accused movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of harassment.

She spoke out in a New York Times article, saying she was lured to his room under false pretences.

He then said that he wanted to give her a massage, she claimed, saying she initially thought he was joking.

Weinstein faces allegations of sexual misconduct and assault from dozens of women. He has “unequivocally” denied having “non-consensual sex”.

Nyong’o, who won a best supporting actress Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, was a drama student at the time of the alleged incident.
