Harvey Weinstein spokesperson All of the sexual allegations as portrayed by Salma are not accurate and others who witnessed the events have a different account of what transpired. The statement also acknowledged that Weinstein pushed for Hayek to portray Frida instead of Jennifer Lopez, who was a "bigger star" at the time.
