But Hollywood is overcompensating with a real-life blockbuster: Starring a savvy young actress who takes down two powerful studio heads, it reads like a reboot of \u201cBasic Instinct\u201d meets \u201cFatal Attraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite a lackluster career, 28-year-old Charlotte Kirk snagged marquee headlines this week after toppling the four-decade career of Ron Meyer \u2014 formerly one of the most powerful agents in Hollywood (having worked with stars like Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Cher) and, since 2013, the vice chairman of NBCUniversal.<\/p>\n<p>Meyer, 75, admitted to settling a lawsuit with Kirk, whom he characterized as a woman with whom he had a \u201cbrief consensual affair\u201d in 2012, while still married to his second wife, Kelly. The Los Angeles Times reported that Meyer paid Kirk at least $500,000 as part of a promised $2 million settlement in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xl6yuC2Cwd4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" title=\"Video\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a statement this week, Meyer claimed that third parties \u201ccontinuously attempted to extort me into paying them money\u201d by threatening to publish false claims about Meyer or falsely implicate NBCUniversal in the ordeal, and that Kirk (whom he did not name) had \u201cmade false accusations against\u201d him.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk\u2019s lawyer, who had no comment for The Post, told Variety that he\u2019s \u201cnever done a settlement with Ron Meyer on anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, last year, Kevin Tsujihara, 55, stepped down as the CEO of Warner Brothers Entertainment after it was revealed that he tried to get film auditions for Kirk, with whom he, too, had an extramarital affair.<\/p>\n<p>Text messages \u2014 between Kirk, Tsujihara and others \u2014 leaked to The Hollywood Reporter in 2019 seem to suggest that Kirk\u2019s sexual favors may have also helped grease a $450 million deal between Warner Bros. and RatPac-Dune Entertainment, a production company owned by two of her early benefactors: director Brett Ratner and billionaire James Packer, whom Kirk reportedly also dated. (Representatives for Meyer, Tsujihara and Packer did not return calls for comment. Ratner had no comment.)<\/p>\n<p>Some of these power players have accused Kirk of \u201cblackmail\u201d and \u201cextortion\u201d in her desperate climb up the Tinseltown ladder.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16177002\"><img alt=\"Charlotte Kirk\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"294\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Charlotte Kirk<\/span><span>MEGA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cShe is cunning and knows what she wants,\u201d producer Jana Grazer, the sister-in-law of super-producer Brian Grazer, told The Post of Kirk.<\/p>\n<p>She recalled seeing Kirk in acting classes. \u201cMy husband [director Gavin Grazer] would come in to watch the actors on the showcase nights. [Charlotte] was super-aggressive and she \u00adattempted to hit on my husband a few times. He\u2019s a director and related to Brian .\u2009.\u2009. I know her type.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer networking style is pushy and aggressive. She wore short, tight dresses. But I thought she was really talented. She reminded me of a young Nicole Kidman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born Charlotte Dyke, the daughter of a nurse, in Kent, England, the future Kirk decided \u2014 according to her bio on IMDb.com \u2014 to be an actress when she saw \u201cGone With the Wind\u201d at age 11. She started off in regional stage productions of \u201cOliver Twist\u201d and \u201cHairspray.\u201d But Kirk, who reportedly studied acting in London and New York City, had bigger dreams.<\/p>\n<p>An early acting bio \u2014 in which Kirk described herself as \u201cindustrious\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>able\u201d (sic) \u2014 obtained by The Post reveals that she modeled, competed in beauty pageants and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared in an ad for Nintendo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlotte Kirk has come a long way from the impressionable child in London, but still has a lot to learn,\u201d the bio reads. \u201cShe hopes Hollywood can teach her what years in school did not.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16177006\"><img alt=\"RatPacEntertainment's James Packer\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"661\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Kirk got cozy with RatPacEntertainment\u2019s James Packer.<\/span><span>WireImage<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Her Hollywood adventure actually began in London in 2012. That\u2019s when the aspiring actress met Meyer at an event hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe went up and introduced herself to him,\u201d said someone familiar with the situation. \u201cShe was very resourceful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirk moved to LA about a year later and started a consensual affair with Meyer that went on for no more than a month, sources with knowledge of the situation told The Post.<\/p>\n<p>She also met Ratner, who owned RatPac-Dune along with Packer and Steven Mnuchin. (Mnuchin sold his interest when he became President Trump\u2019s treasury secretary.)<\/p>\n<p>Ratner introduced Kirk to Packer, now 52. According to the leaked texts and to statements from Kirk herself, she had a brief affair with the billionaire and the two remained on good terms. So much so that in September 2013, he texted the actress wannabe with instructions to go to the Hotel Bel-Air to meet Tsujihara, indicating that \u2014 for someone hungry to be on the big screen \u2014 this could be the break of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Ratner and Packer\u2019s company landed a $450 million deal with Warner Bros. three days later.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16177017\"><img alt=\"NBCUniversal vice-chairman Ron Meyer\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"661\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Charlotte had a love affair with NBCUniversal vice-chairman Ron Meyer.<\/span><span>AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cShe was looking for any opening she could get,\u201d a source who knew Kirk around this time told The Post. \u201cShe\u2019d touch the arms of powerful men.

If you have beauty and enough sensibility at the same time, you can make things happen [in Hollywood].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirk later complained to Packer that Tsujihara \u201conly wanted to f\u2013k,\u201d but she began an affair with him anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlotte is attractive but she\u2019s not beautiful.

A two liner?? U have got to be kidding me!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tsujihara affair ended, but Kirk walked away with a slightly larger part in 2018\u2019s \u201cOcean\u2019s 8,\u201d also a Warner Bros. flick.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk wasn\u2019t only rubbing elbows with men at the top of the Hollywood heap \u2014 and insiders allege that her lesser-known lovers tried to extort the more famous one.<\/p>\n<p>She also dated Joshua Newton, a low-budget director who cast her in the upcoming \u201cNicole &#038; O.J.\u201d in which Kirk plays Nicole Brown Simpson.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cShe attempted to hit on my husband . . .

It opened the online Fantasia International Film Festival Thursday, after organizers canceled a Q&#038;A with Kirk and Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear \u2018The Reckoning\u2019 is meant to be a star vehicle for Kirk \u2014 she\u2019s made up and shot like a model even while in a squalid prison .\u2009.\u2009.,\u201d wrote BadFeelingMag.com. \u201cBut the film is simply too hokey to take seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Multiple sources told Page Six that Newton and Marshall separately attempted to extort Meyer \u2014 for money, introductions and work \u2014 leading to the ouster at NBCUniversal. They allegedly threatened to go public with Meyer\u2019s affair with Kirk and the settlement he allegedly promised her after it ended.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall and Newton deny the allegations; Newton was unreachable and Marshall did not reply to requests for comment.
