Last week, we reported that the 1980s music video and movie star Tawny Kitaen had suddenly passed away at the age of 59. Now, an interview that took place just weeks before her death has surfaced, and she dropped a bomb in it that fans never saw coming.

While being interviewed on Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef, Kitaen revealed that she dated the disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein in “the mid-80s – like around 84, 85” for about two months when they were both living in Los Angeles. She added that she never saw the dark side of him that was exposed decades later, when he was convicted of rape and sexual assault and was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

“I didn’t experience that other side of him, I never even saw it so imagine my shock when I heard that this was his M.O. with girls and not having that experience with him,” Kitaen said. “I was completely blown away … and disgusted, and there was a part of me that was like, ‘No not Harvey,’ and then the girls kept piling up and up and the numbers kept growing and growing.”

“It frightens me, it scares me, but he never put me in that situation,” she continued.

As for the time period in which she and Weinstein started dating, Kitaen said, “Miramax had just started to and he wasn’t my rock ‘n’ roll type, and you look at him now and it’s like, ‘My God did I dodge a bullet in so many ways?’ I’m glad I had the foresight … it’s an absolutely horrible story.”

Kitaen also said that she feels sympathy for Weinstein’s ex-wife Georgina Chapman, 45, who shares two daughters with Weinstein, India, 10, and Dashiell, 8.

“I mean look what he did to her, look how he ruined, all those here’s all those great years that she gave him,” Kitaen said.

In another point of this interview, Kitaen said that she would have loved to do a sequel to her 1984 movie Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks, saying they should “do another like Bachelor Party 2, where our kid is getting married.”

Kitaen added that Hanks “needs to do like a lighthearted comedy … I mean, everything is so heavy and so Newsweek and Time oriented, you know, I, I would love to see him to a nice comedy. He’s so good.”

Rest in peace, Tawny Kitaen.
