"I kept her off a plane that Harvey Weinstein tried to get her on. When he invited her, I told Maddie's mom Melissa, I just said, 'Please don't, do not do that, do not do that, do not do that.'"

In March, Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault.

"I know that there's been times where my insight has really made a difference, like has kept her safe. I just try and help guide."
