Annabella Sciorra has accused disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of rape, alleging he barged his way into her apartment in the 1990s.

Daryl Hannah is also speaking out, saying Weinstein once tried to force his way into her hotel room.

The actresses were quoted this week in The New Yorker.

Hannah recalled fleeing her hotel room as Weinstein demanded to be let in.

His spokeswoman has again stated that the producer denies claims of non-consensual sex.

Sciorra and Hannah are the latest in dozens of women who have spoken out against Weinstein.

Allegations range from unwanted advances to rape.

Weinstein has been ousted from his own company and expelled from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

The disgraced film mogul is now suing his former company, seeking access to emails, his personnel file and other records he contends may exonerate him from multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

The lawsuit came hours after actress Ashley Judd described on-camera Weinstein's sexual advances toward her, which she said she escaped by making a deal.

On Friday, actress and film producer Rose McGowan made her first public comments since accusing Weinstein of rape.

Said she had been "silenced for 20 years" but would not remain quiet about sexual assault and harassment.

"The triggering has been insane — the monster's face [is] everywhere, my nightmare," she said at The Women's Convention in Detroit.

"I have been silenced for 20 years. I have been slut shamed, I have been harassed, I have been maligned, and you know what? I am just like you. What happened to me behind the scenes happens to all of us in this society. It cannot stand and will not stand.

"It's time to rise. It's time to be brave. In the face of unspeakable actions from one monster, we look away to another, the head monster of all right now. And they are the same, and they must die."

McGowan has been one of the leading voices against sexual harassment in Hollywood, and tweeted earlier this month that she was raped by a man with the initials "HW".
