Los Angeles, Dec 16: Jessica Chastain is all praise for Salma Hayek after the actor came forward with allegations of sexual harassment against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein during the filming of "Frida".
Dated December 13, the 51-year-old recounted the horror in an essay for New York Times, titled "Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster Too".
Chastain rooted for Hayek on social media and thanked her for speaking up.
"I ask all of our male allies in this industry, why have your journeys been so different from ours?
"I thank you @salmahayek for sharing your story. Your voice is important and needed right now. You are creating a place of great healing," she tweeted, sharing the link to Hayek's essay.
The "Desperado" actor is the latest A-lister to accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct, after around 80 women including Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Rose McGowan, Ashley Judd, among others came forward with their stories.
Hayek had written she initially felt grateful towards Weinstein for taking a chance on her and believing in her talent enough to let her complete the movie on her favourite artiste, Frida Kahlo.
Little did the actor know that she would go through hell to complete the 2002 Miramax-produced film after she rebuffed his series of advances.
