Actress Kate Winslet has said she has “bitter regrets” over “poor decisions” to work with certain film-makers. The Oscar-winning “Titanic” star spoke of “directors, producers and men of power who have for decades been awarded and applauded*” — but did not name names. The 42-year-old appeared emotional as she accepted a special prize at the London Critics’ Circle film awards. Winslet has worked with producer Harvey Weinstein in the past and recently made a film with director Woody Allen. Weinstein has been accused of multiple instances* of rape and sexual harassment. “The Shakespeare in Love” producer has denied all allegations of non-consensual* sex. Allen has been accused by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow of sexually abusing her as a child. He has repeatedly denied the claims. Winslet, who was given her award for excellence in film by friend Jude Law, said she had been spurred to speak out by the Women’s Marches that took place across the world earlier this month. “As women around the world and from all walks of life marched last weekend... I realized that I wouldn’t be able to stand here this evening and keep to myself some bitter regrets,” she told an audience in London on Sunday. (SD-Agencies) |
