News reports related to allegations of sexual harassment and assault against

News reports related to allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Harvey Weinstein continue to arrive at a rapid pace. Late Friday evening, two actresses, Annabella Sciorra and Daryl Hannah, joined more than 50 other women in publicly accusing the disgraced movie mogul of sexual misconduct.

Earlier in the day, two other prominent accusers were back in the spotlight, as Ashley Judd's ABC News interview continued to reverberate through the media and Rose McGowan addressed the Women's Conference in Detroit.

Meanwhile, Weinstein has filed suit against his own company for access to his email and personnel records, signaling that he may use them to pursue a wrongful termination case or other legal actions against the company.

Friday's developments as they happen:

Actress Annabella Sciorra accuses Weinstein of rape in New Yorker report

Sciorra, known for such films as Reversal of Fortune and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, tells Ronan Farrow, who wrote an earlier groundbreaking story on the scandal, that Weinstein violently raped her in the early 1990s and repeatedly sexually harassed her over the next several years.

Hannah, whose film credits include the Kill Bill films and Steel Magnolias, discusses two incidents involving Weinstein from early in the last decade. She alleges Weinstein once pounded on her hotel-room door, forcing her to escape by a back entrance. When he did it the next day, she says she barricaded herself in the room with furniture.

In another instance, she says Weinstein asked to touch her breasts.

Both women discuss the excruciating decision to speak openly, including fears of personal and professional harm that could come with public statements.

Sciorra speaks of how scared she was during a conversation she had with Farrow months ago when she denied Weinstein had done anything inappropriate.

“I really, really panicked,” she says. “I was shaking. And I just wanted to get off the phone.”

After The New York Times and The New Yorker published their blockbuster reports of Weinstein's alleged abuses earlier this month, she called back Farrow and decided to go public, despite continuing concerns.   

“Now when I go to a restaurant or to an event, people are going to know that this happened to me,” Sciorra tells Farrow. “They’re gonna look at me and they’re gonna know. I’m an intensely private person, and this is the most unprivate thing you can do.”

The story also details efforts many women say were made to keep them from going public with their allegations.

A Weinstein spokeswoman tells The New Yorker that he "unequivocally denies any allegations of non-consensual sex," echoing earlier statements made in response to accusations.
