Once Hollywood producer forcefully had sex with Natassia Malthe
London: Norwegian model turned actress Natassia Malthe has accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of rape.
Malthe claims Weinstein burst into her room at the Sanderson Hotel in London after the 2008 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards and forcefully had sex with her, international online web media reported.
“I was very reluctant to come forward today. It scares me in some ways,” Malthe said on Wednesday.
“However, my closest friends encouraged me to do so. I am also doing it for my three-year little boy, so he understands how to respect and treat women and for countless little girls that should never experience what I went through and for all the women that came before me and after me trying to succeed in Hollywood,” she added.
Malthe recounted: “On February 10, 2008 I was in London for the BAFTA awards. I was the spokesperson for LG. I was in London working. After the award ceremonies, I attended the BAFTA after-party with my publicist who suggested that I take a picture with Harvey as I did with many celebrities that night.”
Later, Weinstein asked her about her hotel and room number.
“I was startled and awakened by repeated pounding on my door in the middle of the night accompanied with Harvey Weinstein yelling ‘open the door, Natassia Malthe, it’s Harvey Weinstein.’ I was mortified and humiliated. There were many industry people staying at the hotel. I was worried that everyone would wake up and think that I was sleeping with him,” she said.
Norwegian model-actress Natassia Malthe was once asked to person threesome sex with unknown woman:
“I opened the door. His clothes were messy and his face did not look normal. I wondered if he was on drugs. Then I remember he took his pants off and sat on my bed. I was feeling panic and wondering what I should do.
“He began speaking about various A-list actresses who he claimed had slept with him. He told me that these actresses had gotten to where they were because of him and because they had sex with him.”
Malthe then said Weinstein was on top of her and she was fighting to get him off.
“It was not consensual. He did not use a condom. However, he did not ejaculate inside of me. After having sexual intercourse, he masturbated and ejaculated. I was completely grossed out. I believe that I disassociated during the time that he was having sex with me,” Malthe said.
“I laid still and closed my eyes and just wanted it to end. I was like a dead person. Afterwards, I lay there in complete disgust,” she added.
Malthe said the next day he sent her the script for “Nine”.
However, this was not the only time he assaulted her as he even asked her to take part in threesome with him and an unknown woman.
Malthe is now the ninth woman to accuse Weinstein of rape. The previous cases involved an unnamed Italian model who claims she was raped in 2013 by Weinstein, actresses Rose McGowan, Asia Argento and Lysette Anthony, then-college student Lucia Evans and the aforementioned unnamed woman.
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
