“I was at a dinner in New York City one night with a bunch of friends.
“He was very polite, very warm, very conversational.
He asked me what I did.
Sivan described her alleged conversation with Weinstein as “really warm” and “great.”
“I was this local reporter at the time.
It was then, Sivan alleges, that Weinstein “cornered” her.
“Which I immediately rebuffed.
I said, Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I had no idea that’s what this was.
I have a very serious boyfriend and I’m not interested.'
And I thought it would end there.
But that’s when he blocked the entrance or exit for me.
And said, Well, then, just stand there and be quiet.'”
And I just stood there dumbfounded.”
She added, “I was so shocked.
I could not believe what I was witnessing.
And then, Stand there and be quiet' just negated any warm feelings I had.”
Sivan alleges the incident with Weinstein ended “relatively quickly.”
(Weinstein did not comment on the Sivan claims.)
Speaking to Kelly, Sivan said she was compelled to come forward after reading Weinstein’s statement.
“His apology was the final straw for me,” she said.
“Enough is enough with this guy.
She left Fox News shortly after and officially joined NBC News earlier this year.
