I was offered proximity in exchange for pictures

The movie and catwalk star Kruger impressed everyone not only with her magnificent view, but also with a story at a press conference held after the film was shown. It turns out that Diana, like many famous actresses and models, at the beginning of her career was sexually harassed by potential employers. Twenty-five years ago, Kruger was a little-known, beginning model, who was taking on any projects. About what happened on the set, Diana remembers with these words:

"The fact that novice actresses and models are often offered sex in exchange for a good job is quite common. I myself got into a similar situation when I was 17 years old. Once I came to the shooting, and then I began to realize that something was going wrong. The photographer who was supposed to work with me in the studio was alone. In addition, when he saw me, he began to undress, completely naked. After that, he suggested I do the same. I was offered proximity in exchange for pictures. It was terrible, but that was the reality of Hollywood and the beginning models. "

After this, the journalists asked Diana about the question of communicating with Harvey Weinstein, because his name is now on everyone's lips. Here's what Kruger said about this:

"I had to work with Weinstein, but he never bothered me. Maybe I'm just not in his taste or I'm lucky. Just want to say that his sexual actions directed towards other women, I in no way justify. "
