Harvey Weinstein has responded to Salma Hayek’s op-ed in The New York Times… and he as a different side of the story.<br /><br /><br /><br />Through a PR representative, Weinstein released a statement saying that he regards Salma as a first class actress who he cast in several of his movies and he continues to support her work.<br /><br /><br /><br />He said he put up half the money and all the P&A for Frida, but as in most collaborative projects, there was also creative friction.<br /><br /><br /><br />He does not recall pressuring Salma to do a gratuitous sex scene, and all allegations as portrayed by Salma are not accurate.<br /><br /><br /><br />Harvey even said he battled the WGA to get Edward Norton a credit on the film for rewriting the script… but was ultimately unsuccessful.<br /><br /><br /><br />In the bombshell op-ed, Hayak makes very serious allegations about the movie mogul, and even called him a monster.<br /><br />
