The names, apparently drawn up by Weinstein himself, were distributed to a team hired by the film producer to suppress claims that he had sexually harassed or assaulted numerous women.
Weinstein “unequivocally denies” all claims of non-consensual sex, a spokesman for the producer has said.
Among the high-profile names who have spoken out against Weinstein are Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevingne and Kate Beckinsale.
It is unclear whether Weinstein intended subsequently to approach any of the individuals on the list with a non-disclosure agreement.
