In footage released Wednesday, Weinstein is seen hugging, touching and making suggestive comments during a business meeting in New York with Melissa Thompson. Thompson is a major player in the class action lawsuit against the fallen producer.

The clip starts with Weinstein entering the room and telling someone off camera not to interrupt ... he then closes and locks the door behind him.

Thompson is clearly uncomfortable throughout the video, at one point telling Weinstein his hands were moving too far up her leg.

In a lawsuit filed in June, Thompson alleged Weinstein raped her in a hotel the same day the video was shot.

Weinstein's attorney, Benjamin Brafman, tells us others have seen the full video ... and it tells a different story. Brafman says, "... the video, when viewed in its entirety, in context and not in select excerpts, demonstrates that there is nothing forceful, but casual – if not awkward – flirting from both parties."
