A film director who gave sex-for-roles scandal actress Charlotte Kirk a part in his latest movie after sleeping with her has admitted that their relationship did influence his decision to cast her.
Charlotte Kirk dated director Joshua Newton for five years, landing the starring role in his film 'Nicole & O.J' just weeks after starting a sexual relationship with him.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline Mr Newton said: 'Charlotte and I were together for five years and it would be difficult to argue that it didn't influence me. But she was given the role on merit and for all the right artistic reasons.

Newton (left) says that he was friends with Kirk (right) for six months before they embarked on a sexual relationship. He said she is not the sex-for-roles go getter she is portrayed to be
'I didn't cast around for other actresses in the role. Charlotte was absolutely right for it.
'We were just friends for six months and then started a sexual relationship. It was soon after this that I decided she would be the lead actress; she's very talented and also bears an uncanny resemblance to Nicole. The fact that she was my girlfriend had nothing to do with my artistic choices.'
Kirk, 26, has been at the centre of one of Hollywood's most high profile sex scandals after it emerged that she had been having an affair with Kevin Tsujihara, the 54-year-old boss of Warner Brothers.
Text messages published between them suggested he would help her secure roles while they were involved in a sexual relationship. He stepped down last month.
Prior to this, published text messages also showed that Kirk was having a relationship with James Packer, head of a Warner-based entertainment company and was introduced to Tsujihara by him.
Newton said that he was initially introduced to Kirk in mid 2013 through a mutual friend after she moved to Los Angeles to try and break into the film industry.
He said: 'We had a lot in common and hit it off right away. A strong friendship evolved into something much deeper. We were deeply in love with each other. I still speak to Charlotte a lot. She is a sensitive, caring, loving human being who is being portrayed as a ruthless sex for roles go-getter. She's been left very distressed by this.

In a scandal that's rocked Hollywood, texts published from Kirk (pictured) to Tsujihara suggested he would help her secure roles while they were involved in a sexual relationship
Newton revealed that during his time with Kirk (both pictured) he was aware of her former affair with Tsujihara, which he insists, was not about her trying to use him to land roles
'I'm very worried about how she's being guided and portrayed in the media.'
Newton said he cast Kirk, from Bexleyheath, Kent, because she bears an 'uncanny resemblance' to Nicole and added: 'Yes, I did give her a big break, but why wouldn't I for someone who was perfect for the role and I loved?'
Newton revealed that during his time with Kirk he was aware of her former affair with Tsujihara, which he insists, was not about her trying to use him to land roles.
Newton and Kirk split six months ago after she demanded a scene from Nicole & O.J (pictured) be cut as it made her nose look big
Her relationship with Newton may have overlapped with the affair with married Tsujihara in 2013.
Newton said: 'He (Tsujihara) was powerful and influential and that actually turned her on. She was not thinking about using him to get roles because a guy in that position can't help an unknown actor. The film industry does not work like that. When we were together I knew absolutely everything about Charlotte and Kevin being together.'
Newton and Kirk split up six months ago after she demanded that a particular scene from Nicole & O.J be cut because it made her nose look big. The couple had been planning to marry and have children while last Valentine's Day the director bought her an £8,000 Cartier diamond necklace.
Newton revealed: 'Had I not sent her any clips in advance then we would probably still be dating. She insisted that she did not like one scene, it really became an absolute issue. I was in Cannes, she was in America and we had not seen each other for five weeks. We then decided that we would split up.
'We had talked about marriage and having kids. When I was in the relationship it seemed like this would happen but now that we've split up, I value her friendship.'
Newton revealed that he does not know if Kirk is in another relationship but warned her to stay away from men in the film industry, given the impact the sex scandal has had on her. She is currently staying with her family in Kent to get away from Hollywood.
Newton said he regretted sending Kirk (pictured) clips of the film when they were finished because they argued over some of the angles and the way she looked. He admitted that the boundaries of their professional and personal relationship became blurred

He said: 'I still really care for Charlotte and have been like her mentor. I hope that she settles down one day, preferably with a guy not in the film industry. I want her to meet a nice young man who she can raise a family with. She needs a strong man in her life.'
Nicole & O.J tells the story of the 1994 OJ Simpson case in which the former American athlete turned actor was accused of murdering his wife and her friend Ron Goldman. It is due for release next year, to mark the 25thanniversary of O. J's trial with Newton claiming that the adverse publicity surrounding Kirk could even help raise the film's profile.
He said: 'When all this stuff came out about Charlotte, it did not concern me and my colleagues about the impact it could have. But she could actually be an asset to the picture. People will be curious to see if she can act and what she's like. But one thing they will be able to see is what a wonderful actress she is.'
After her fling with Tsujihara, Kirk won small parts in the Warner Bros films Ocean's 8 and How To Be Single.
She insisted after his resignation: 'It was not casting couch sex. I thought I was just having sex with a man I fancied.
'Because I am a young woman, I am accused of being a slut and a conniving, calculating one at that.'
