And then Stern – who is the world’s highest-paid radio host with an annual salary of $90 million, according to the Mirror – starts to ask Bunton about when she first started menstruating.

“When did you get your period? How old were you? That’s what everyone talks about,” he asks.

“I don’t care, I'm not talking to you about that,” Bunton replies. “Absolutely not.”

Stern also speculates on what underwear she’s wearing, saying, “It’s turning me on a little bit,” and says that her having worn revealing clothing means “You’re asking for it [attention on your body], you’re gonna get it.”

So far, Bunton has not commented on the clip.

The video has appeared on social media – with singer Nicola Roberts retweeting it – at a time when further allegations about Weinstein’s behaviour are surfacing, leading to a wider conversation about sexual harassment.

Hollywood stars, including Cara Delevingne, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, as well as women who work elsewhere in the industry have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against the producer or unsettling reports of previous encounters.

While Weinstein, who has since been sacked from his own company, denies any allegations of non-consensual sex or “acts of retaliation” against those who refused alleged advances, he has said in a statement via his spokesperson that he “has begun counselling, has listened to the community and is pursuing a better path.”
