Priyanka Chopra, who's shooting for season three of her American TV series Quantico, has reacted on the Harey Weinstein sex scandal in Hollywood and said that "it happens everywhere." Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been accused of sexually harassing female colleagues for over three decades. Actresses like Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow among others have come out in open and spoken about their unfortunate experiences.
Now, during a conversation at the Maire Claire Power Trip 2017 event, desi girl Priyanka Chopra spoke her mind about the scandal and said, "There is not just 'a Harvey Weinstein' in Hollywood, there are many. It happens everywhere." She further added, "It is not about sex, it is about power. About putting a woman in 'her lane.' For the longest time women have been told only one of us will survive. Only the best girl will get the job. But that just can't be tolerated anymore. Look around this room, full of incredible women who have fought (to get everything that they want)."
On being quizzed if there's a Harvey Weinstein in India, PC shared, "I don't think there's 'a' Weinstein. I don't even think there's one Weinstein in Hollywood. There are a lot more men, and not just in India, but everywhere else. Just men trying to take away power (from women)."
The actress who made her Hollywood debut with the film Baywatch earlier in May this year has already announced her next two Hollywood projects viz., A Kid Like Jake and Isn't It Romantic?
