Sopranos Actress Now Adds Harrowing Rape Story to the Sordid Weinstein Saga. [VIDEO]

My husband and I were fans of HBO’s The Sopranos — so much that I got him the boxed set of the entire series for Father’s Day one year. And if you were as hooked on the show as we were, you’ll know that Tony Soprano roughed up women just as much as men.

One character, played by Annabella Sciorra, was one of Tony’s many goomars. She was a depressive, suicidal Mercedes-Benz saleswoman whom Tony nearly choked to death.

Now Ronan Farrow of the New Yorker — the same reporter who broke the Weinstein story — has dropped another bombshell, this time about Weinstein and Sciorra. It turns out that Weinstein really roughed up Sciorra. Only this was not part of a series script, and it involved a violent and disgusting rape.

Moreover, it wasn’t just Annabella Sciorra who described Harvey’s sexual violence. So did actress Darryl Hannah, who said the only reason why Weinstein didn’t rape her in her hotel room was because her makeup guy was also present.

Sciorra says she was traumatized by the incident, and, terrified of Weinstein, took to sleeping with a baseball bat by her bed. At first she rebuffed Farrow’s attempts to interview her about reports he had heard about Weinstein and her:

“I was so scared. I was looking out the window of my living room, and I faced the water of the East River. I really wanted to tell you. I was like, ‘This is the moment you’ve been waiting for your whole life. . . .’ I really, really panicked. I was shaking. And I just wanted to get off the phone.”

However, after other women began to tell their stories, Sciorra finally broke down and told Farrow her story. And then she told him of her shame.

“Like most of these women, I was so ashamed of what happened. And I fought. I fought. But still I was like, Why did I open that door? Who opens the door at that time of night? I was definitely embarrassed by it. I felt disgusting. I felt like I had fucked up.”
