Rowena Chiu thought that speaking up about her alleged sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein would end up with him in court. But instead she was pressured into signing an NDA so severe that she could tell no one, at times even fearing for her safety. Keeping this secret sent Rowena to a very dark place.
