Three of the women said he asked for sex as a condition for representing them and refused to do so when they did not have sex with him.

Many of them also said they viewed Cirrincione as a “gatekeeper” for the acting business, which has[ few paths for people of color](http://time.com/4644539/oscar-nominations-diversity-hollywood/).

I hear you. You matter. I will fight for you.” The _Post_ said it spoke to the women, along with people they said they told about their experiences, multiple times and individually over three months. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5132019/halle-berry-manager-vincent-cirrincione/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5132019/halle-berry-manager-vincent-cirrincione/"},"headline":"Halle Berry's Ex-Manager Accused of Sexual Harassment","datePublished":"2018-02-03T17:10:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:53:39.636Z","description":"Nine women have come forward with the allegations","url":"https://time.com/5132019/halle-berry-manager-vincent-cirrincione/","keywords":["celebrities","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte8b900ead95f0de9/6988fa81656a3f6342bd3649/vincent-cirrincione-halle-belle-manager-accused-sexual-harassment.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lisa Marie Segarra","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/lisa-marie-segarra/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte8b900ead95f0de9/6988fa81656a3f6342bd3649/vincent-cirrincione-halle-belle-manager-accused-sexual-harassment.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2005 TNT Black Movie Awards - Show","caption":"2005 TNT Black Movie Awards - Show","creditText":"Photo by John Shearer—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5132019/halle-berry-manager-vincent-cirrincione/","name":"Halle Berry's Ex-Manager Accused of Sexual Harassment"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME Person of the Year 2017: The Silence Breakers","description":"For giving voice to open secrets, for moving whisper networks onto social networks, for pushing all of us to stop accepting the unacceptable, the Silence Breakers are the 2017 Person of the Year.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/jbtW5SvJ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-12-06T12:11:05.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/jbtW5SvJ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5132019/halle-berry-manager-vincent-cirrincione/","duration":"PT5M2S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5132019/halle-berry-manager-vincent-cirrincione/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
