Cara Delevingne and homophobia in Hollywood

In an interview with the fashion magazine Net-a-Porter published online Friday, the model and actress shed more light on the harassment she says she faced from the film producer. “One of the first things Harvey Weinstein ever said to me was, ‘You will never make it in this industry as a gay woman — get a beard,’” said Delevingne, who currently stars in Amazon’s Carnival Row.

“When I first started to work as an actress, I was working on a film and I received a call from‎ Harvey Weinstein asking if I had slept with any of the women I was seen out with in the media,” she shared on Instagram in October 2017. “It was a very odd and uncomfortable call. ... I answered none of his questions and hurried off the phone but before I hung up, he said to me that If I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I’d never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood.”
