Evgeniya Chernyshova was known only by her Jane Doe name during the Harvey Weinstein trial, but now she wants to open up about the rape that “changed her life” and landed the disgraced producer another 16 years in prison.

The producer was somewhat lucky in his trial in Los Angeles this week when only one of the four victims who accused him of rape and assault actually went to trial. Until now, she advertised as Jane Doe out of fear for her three children and the shame of being sexually assaulted.
In an effort to take back his power, he sat down with Hollywood Reporter to talk about her experience with Weinstein. “I’m tired of hiding,” he admitted to the publication. “I want my life back. I’m Evgeniya, I was raped. This is my story,” he said almost crying.
The Hollywood Reporter then shared that she finally broke down and continued to bravely tell her story with tears. First, she discussed why she chose to remain “Jane Doe” all this time as if she had to explain it in any way (we get it, girl).
“I did it because I was embarrassed and humiliated,” he admitted. “I think it was a good decision to protect my children. But it was a terrible decision for me because I was separated from everyone. It’s not right to go through this hell alone.”

The former model wishes to this day that she never opened the door to that hotel room. She recalled seeing Weinstein at an event in 2013, which was only the second time she had met him, both very brief encounters.
Then, back to his room at Hotel Mr. C Beverly Hills, Harvey knocks on his door after the front desk calls him to see if he’s in (Evgeniya tells him they can talk tomorrow) he assumes he’s gone.
Soon on the other side of his door, “He was like, ‘Hey, it’s Harvey Weinstein. Open the door. We need to talk. I’m not going to sleep with you, I just need to talk to you.’” He was married at the time and this was purely a business trip for him.
She opened the door because of how loud and “embarrassing” Weinstein was in the hallway and slammed on her door. “And that’s what I’ve regretted for the last 10 years – that I opened this door,” she said through tears.
Harvey seemed domineering to her, “he just walked past me and straight to the chair. He was like, ‘We were just talking. Nothing happened. Why are you so nervous?'” but Evgeniya had a bad feeling “I realized something was up which is wrong.”

He believed that at first, his broken English didn’t get the message that he wasn’t interested and actually, wanted her out of his room which he pushed her into.
“He took off his pants, and I went into hysterics,” she said. “I kept showing pictures of my children, to try to convince him that, ‘I have children, please don’t do that.’ But he did what he did. He attacked me in the bedroom, and then he dragged me to the bathroom and he raped me there.”

Weinstein then said he was going to post his ticket to the event and left his room. after the attack left the model depressed, she started drinking heavily, and she separated from her deceased husband.
These times are tough, obviously. “I hate myself,” said Evgeniya. She credits her daughter for prompting her to step forward and report the incident. Maria, 21, was also sexually assaulted by a boy at her high school.
“I told him there was only one condition I could do [report my case]and that too if he also presented his case,” recalled Maria who went first followed by her mother.
