Lily Allen's mother, who is a movie producer, was shocked when Harvey Weinstein took out his penis during a nudity scene in the movie involving Meg Ryan.
"In the screening room it was just Harvey and my mum and whilst Meg Ryan was taking her clothes off (in the movie) and she heard some grunting from behind and it was Harvey pleasuring himself with my mum sitting in front of him," said Lily.
"My mum was only in her mid twenties, so it was quite an intimidating experience to go through. She kept working with him because she didn’t feel she could say anything at the time. That’s how powerful he was."
Lily's mother Alison Owen has also talked about the uncomfortable experience.
"When we sat down to watch [In The Cut] it was soon apparent why he wanted to see it. Meg Ryan has a rock-solid 'no nudity' clause in her movies and had never taken her clothes off until this film," she recalled.
"Harvey immediately started talking to the projectionist, asking him to move it on to get to the bit where she gets her t**s out… "
"His breath was getting shorter and shorter, he was ranting more and more and I wondered what was going on back there.
"It crossed my mind that he was masturbating. I wasn’t myself abused. If he was doing it, it was to Meg Ryan’s breasts. It made me feel certainly that he couldn’t care less what I thought about him.’
