Sienna Miller Says Dating Jude Law ‘Probably Protected’ Her From Harvey Weinstein’s Abuse

Zack Sharf Sienna Miller recently told The Guardian that dating Jude Law is most likely one reason she was never abused by disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein.

Miller was the star of the Weinstein-backed “Factory Girl,” in which she played Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgwick. The actor said being in a relationship with Law shaped her connection with Weinstein, as she often called the producer “pops.” Law headlined several of Weinstein’s movies prior to Miller working with him, from “The Talented Mr.

Ripley” to “Cold Mountain.”“I was Jude’s girlfriend, and there was probably protection in that. Jude was a big actor for Harvey,” Miller said. “I called Harvey ‘Pops’ from day one, which I’m sure helped; you’re not going to wank on that.” Miller recalled one day when Weinstein shouted at her, but that was the extent of which he acted rudely towards her.

Weinstein took issue with Miller’s party-friendly social life outside of filming hours.“I was rehearsing one day with Steve Buscemi, and Harvey called and asked me to come to his office,” Miller said. “I said, ‘I’m in rehearsal.’ And he shouted, ‘Now!’ and sent a car.
