The New Yorker said on Tuesday that 13 women it interviewed on and off the record over 10 months alleged that Weinstein sexually assaulted them, including three who said he had raped them.
One accuser quoted by the New Yorker said she had maintained her silence for 20 years, fearing that Weinstein would "crush" her. On Sunday, Weinstein, 65, lost his job as co-chairman of his own film company three days after a New York Times report alleged that the Oscar-winning producer had sexually harrassed young women - both actors and his own employees - over decades.
Weinstein was one of the most powerful men in Hollywood, producing and distributing Oscar-winning films including Pulp Fiction and Shakespeare in Love .
Hillary Clinton, whose presidential campaign benefitted from Weinstein donations, wrote on Twitter that she was "shocked and appalled" by Weinstein's behavior.
The New York Times reported separately on Tuesday that victims allegedly subjected to misconduct by Weinstein included Angelina Jolie, Rosanna Arquette and Gwyneth Paltrow, who was 22 when hired for the film Emma.
Jolie said she had a "bad experience" with Weinstein in her youth. She refused to work with him and had warned others.
