Helena Bonham Carter shows off her quirky style as she buys a watermelon on shopping trip

Earlier this week she revealed Harvey Weinstein made a pass at her by trying to give her a neck massage leading her to run away.

And Helena Bonham Carter was seen stepping out after detailing the terrifying ordeal, as she went food shopping in London on Thursday and picked up a watermelon for her household.

The actress, 53, showed off her eccentric sense of style during the outing as she donned a light blue sweater over a yellow lace-trimmed top.

Helena added another pop of colour to her look as she paired a pink asymmetrical skirt with black trainers and matching socks.

The Crown star accessorised with a mint-green scarf that had a red polka-dot design and she wore a pair of orange-rimmed sunglasses pushed back over her hair.

Pulling her brunette locks back into a messy ponytail, Helena opted to go make-up free for her shopping trip so that she could show off her natural beauty. 

Speaking on Louis Theroux’s Grounded podcast on Monday, Helena said Weinstein began touching her inappropriately – causing her to flee across a room. 

‘I wasn’t aware of him pursuing people against their will, I wasn’t aware certainly of rape,’ she said of the movie mogul, who is serving a 23-year sentence for rape and sexual assault in his landmark #MeToo case. 

‘I was aware that he would make passes at people and he did make a pass at me and I just said no and that was the end of it.

‘He was also a bully and he obviously molested people – it was partly I think sociopathic.’

Helena continued: ‘I saw him treat some people so badly and there was no compassion there, that was what disturbed me.’

Speaking about the incident, the actress said: ‘He literally laid a hand on me, that’s all, he was trying to give me a massage of my neck and I knew this wasn’t going well so I ran and said no, or got to the other side of the room.

‘I haven’t really spoken up about it because I kind of feel everything has been said about him.’ 

In a 2018 interview with The Guardian, Helena described another incident with Weinstein on the set of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s The Young and Prodigious TS Spivet, about a 10-year-old prodigy who embarks on a solo cross-country journey.

‘Harvey wanted me to tell Jeunet to change it,’ she recalled . ‘There is a scene in which he hitchhikes and Harvey said as soon as that kid gets into a truck everyone will think the truck driver is a child molester and all the kids in America will be freaked out.’ 

I said: ‘I don’t think you’re right, and I’m not going to tell Jean-Pierre Jeunet I know better than him.’ 

According to the actress, Weinstein’s response was ‘you’ve got to tell that arrogant a**hole he’s being a s**t, he doesn’t know the American market like I do’, to which Helena added: ‘I found it revolting.’

She said she believed she could stand up to Weinstein, ‘because I already had a career. Other people were employing me. I wasn’t reliant on him.’

Speaking to Theroux, Helena also criticised the late British director Michael Winner, who passed away in 2013 aged 77, calling him ‘a shocker.’

‘I was sixteen and auditioning he wanted me to take my coat off so he could see my shape,’ she recalled.
