According to The New Yorker, Gutierrez says Weinstein "lunged at her, groping her breasts and attempting to put a hand up her skirt" at a meeting in his offices in Tribeca.
The 65-year-old movie mogul was accused of rape by Italian film star Asia Argento and two other women. The allegations which later seemed to be corroborated with accounts of A-listers Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow intensified the scandal around the Oscar-winning producer.
 Weinstein is now bereft of his BAFTA membership and could soon be stripped off of his Oscar award, thanks to the serious allegations and the growing chorus by Hollywood against the producer. Soon after the reports became public, Weinstein's wife Georgina Chapman said she has decided to leave him.Â
The 41-year-old actor-designer, who as per Weinstein stood "100 percent" behind him in wake of the scandal, said she is heartbroken for the women who have suffered at the hands of her husband.
"My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband.
Post the controversy, Weinstein was also sacked from The Weinstein Company (TWC) as co-chairman.
