It seems Harvey Weinstein affected many with his inappropriate behavior over the years, but Cara Delevingne isn’t standing for it anymore, and she’s got Harley Quinn in her corner.

Delevingne is one of the many to step forward after the New York Times new report exposed Weinstein’s history of sexual abuse, and her story sounds like many others who have come forward since the news broke. Margot Robbie, who played Harley Quinn alongside Delevingne’s Enchantress in Suicide Squad, couldn’t be prouder of her co-star (via ET).
“Cara is a dear friend of mine and I already knew she was a fierce, brave woman,” Robbie said. “Today just proved that again,”
While the circumstances themselves aren’t positive, Robbie does hope some good will come out of this terrible situation. “I think the whole situation is so disturbing and sad but I think the conversation surrounding it, hopefully, good comes out of it,” Robbie said.
Delevingne shared details about her experience with Weinstein, which involved another woman as well.
“At that moment I felt very powerless and scared but didn’t want to act that way, hoping that I was wrong about the situation. When I arrived, I was relieved to find another woman in his room and thought immediately I was safe,” Delevingne said. “He asked us to kiss and she began some sort of advances upon his direction. I swiftly got up and asked him if he knew that I could sing. And I began to sing….I thought it would make the situation better….more professional….like an audition….I was so nervous.”
Delevigne also said he “walked me to the door and stood in front of it and tried to kiss me on the lips.”
Even with the onslaught of reports, Delevingne knows revealing something like this isn’t easy, but implores those who are affected to talk about it.
“I want women and girls to know that being harassed or abused or raped is NEVER their fault and not talking about it will always cause more damage than speaking the truth,” Delevingne said. “I am relieved to be able to share this….I actually feel better and I’m proud of the women who are brave enough to speak….this isn’t easy but there are strength in our numbers. As I said, this is only the beginning. In every industry and especially in Hollywood, men abuse their power using fear and get away with it. This must stop. The more we talk about it, the less power we give them. I urge you all to talk and to the people who defend these men, you are part of the problem”
Weinstein has since been fired from The Weinstein Company, but this is probably far from over.
