Priyanka Chopra has said, Oct. 20, that people like Harvey Weinstein are not an anomaly to Hollywood, saying women are sexually harassed at the hands of powerful men everywhere.<\/p>\n

\n

The 35-year-old actor said that this behavior was not the result of sexual gratification needs, but about having control over people, reported Marie Claire.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s \u2018a\u2019 Weinstein. I don\u2019t even think there\u2019s 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).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not about sex, it is about power. About putting a woman in \u2018her lane.\u2019 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\u2019t be tolerated anymore,\u201d Priyanka told Anne Fulewider in a discussion at 2017 Marie Claire Power Trip.<\/p>\n

The \u201cQuantico\u201d star compared the film industry to a \u201cbig boys\u2019 club,\u201d where women always live with the fear that one wrong move can cost them their career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our business, if you don\u2019t stroke someone\u2019s ego, or network, you\u2019re threatened that you\u2019ll not get that movie. Or this \u2018big boys club\u2019 will get together and boycott you.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, as a woman you feel alone, that my work might get shattered, because this club can just take that away. It\u2019s an isolating feeling. The easiest thing to take away from a woman is her work,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Priyanka added women have been told that femininity is a weakness since time immemorial and there cannot be a bigger myth.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what if I\u2019m in heels? So what if I wear a dress? We\u2019ve been told our femininity is our weakness, but it is not.<\/p>\n

We can be compassionate. We can be tough. When you open your mouth, you deliver,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Recently, many Hollywood stars such as Lupita Nyong\u2019o, Lena Headey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevingne among others have accused Weinstein of sexually harassing them, with Rose McGowan claiming he raped her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
