Weinstein, who has been fired from The Weinstein Company, has been accused by multiple women of sexually harassing them over a period of nearly three decades.
This incident has opened as some of Hollywood’s most well-known actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie making a statement on the bombshell sexual assault allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
“He reportedly invited women to hotel rooms for business reasons and then greeted them nude or asked them to massage him or watch him shower.”
Both said the incidents happened early in their careers, the BBC reported
Jolie said in an email, “I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did. This behaviour towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.”
In a statement, Paltrow alleged that, after Weinstein cast her in the leading role in Emma, he summoned her to his hotel suite, where he placed his hands on her and suggested massages in his bedroom.
“I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,” she told the newspaper. She said she told her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt about the incident, and said he confronted Weinstein. “I thought he was going to fire me,” she said.
Others who have spoken up include Rosanna Arquette who also rebuffed Weinstein’s request for a massage which was followed by a veiled threat to her career.
