The actress recalled the alleged incident, which she claims took place 20 years ago, in an interview with ABC News.
She said: “I had no warning … I remember the lurch when I went to the desk and I said, ‘Mr Weinstein, is he on the patio?’ and they said, ‘No, he’s in his room’.
“I was like, ‘Ugh, are you kidding me?’ [But I went because] I had a business appointment.
“That’s his pattern of sexual predation. That’s how he rolled.”

The political activist continued: “There’s this constant grooming negotiation going on.
“I thought ‘no’ meant ‘no’.”
“I fought with this volley of ‘nos,’ which he ignored. Who knows? Maybe he heard them as ‘maybe’, maybe he heard them as ‘yeses,’ maybe they turned him on. I don’t know.”
Judd claimed Weinstein then led her toward a wardrobe, where he asked her to choose his suit for the day - and that there was no apparent exit from the room.
She alleged that she cowered in a hallway for close to seven minutes when Weinstein asked her to come into the bathroom with him.

Finally, Judd claims she made a deal with Weinstein to someday have an intimate encounter with him, but not right then.
She said: “He kept coming at me with all this other stuff, and finally I just said, ‘When I win an Oscar in one of your movies, okay?'
“And he was like, ‘Yeah, when you get nominated.’
“And I said, ‘No! When I win an Oscar.’ And I fled. I just fled.”

Judd said she doesn’t regret the decision.
She said: “Am I proud of that? I’m of two minds: The part that shames myself says no.
“The part of me that understands the way shame works says, ‘That was absolutely brilliant. Good job, kid. You got out of there. Well done'.”
