Julia Stiles Reflects on Feeling 'Slimy' During Harvey Weinstein-Directed Reshoots

The actress criticized Weinstein's creative control over the 2000 rom-com 'Down to You,' calling his additions unnecessary and exploitative.

Julia Stiles discussed her discomfort with Harvey Weinstein's involvement in reshoots for the 2000 film 'Down to You' during a recent podcast interview.
Stiles criticized Weinstein for adding a dance scene to the film, which she felt was a forced attempt to capitalize on her previous successes in teen rom-coms.
The actress described the scene as cheap and irrelevant to the story, adding that it made her feel 'so slimy' during filming.
Weinstein, speaking from prison, defended his creative decision, claiming the scene was meant to enhance the film's appeal and showcase Stiles' talents.
Weinstein, who is serving a combined 39-year prison sentence for multiple sexual assault convictions, is awaiting a retrial for additional charges set to begin in April.
