After New York Times’s bombshell revelations about movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s long-term history of sexual assault and non-consensual advances towards his female co-workers and actresses, several Hollywood A-listers have come forward condemning his conduct.
The latest addition to such claims, is now being made by A list actresses Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow who have revealed past instances of the producer and Hollywood big-shot, being sexually aggressive with them.
According to TMZ sources, Jolie claims the Weinstein made “unwanted advances” on her back in 1998 during the shooting of ‘Playing by Heart.’
“I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warned others when they did,” she told New York Times.
Speaking to the publication about her experience, actress Gwyneth Paltrow recalled an incident from the mid 90’s, when after casting the then 22 year old actress in “Emma”, Weinstein inappropriately touched her during a hotel meeting and asked her to head straight to the bedroom.
Paltrow told the publication she immediately walked off and left the hotel stating, “I thought you were my Uncle Harvey.”
The actress reveals, she later spoke about the incident with her then boyfriend, Brad Pitt, who later confronted Weinstein, warning him never to touch her again.
