Kjersti Flaa and Harvey Weinstein
I've been looking at some articles about Kjersti Flaa and her partner Magnus Sundholm in swedish and norwegian as press in Scandinavia is usually more relaxed, and there is a less chance of being cancelled for things you've said and I found something a bit curious.
In the wake of all this, there has been a lot of attention on the fact that Leslie Sloane's PR firm was partially funded by Harvey Weinstein, and in general there has been a lot of focus on Blake's connections to people like Harvey Weinstein and Woody Allen. But in this interview: https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/jlLGeL/magnus-sundholm-och-frun-avslojar-hollywoodhemligheter, Flaa and her partner talks about hanging out and partying with Weinstein.
Flaa also takes the opportunity to trash both Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, which goes to show, that she seemingly only takes issue with female celebrities.
Edit: I found this article she has done with an American newsoutlet: https://fandomwire.com/i-dont-want-pictures-with-that-man-harvey-weinstein-walking-around-with-nicole-kidman-in-his-arm-made-reporter-kjersti-flaa-feel-uncomfortable/, notice the differences.
In the swedish article, Flaa says:
It was no secret in the industry how he behaved. Everyone knows how everyone is, but you pretend you don't see anything as long as you make a lot of money, says Kjersti
In the American article Flaa says:
"He was there with Nicole Kidman. I think he was pushing a movie called Lion… I remember he was walking around with her on his arm at this party and people came up and took pictures with him… I just felt like… he had this awful energy about him."
So while others were busy taking pictures with him, Flaa remarked that she did not because she did not feel comfortable enough with him there. Adding on, she added how a lot of people must have already known what was going on but declined to say anything due to the risk of having their careers destroyed.
Which is funny, because her boyfriend sure didn't have a problem being photographed with him:
