5 Claims against Weinstein

1 Gwyneth

Paltrow

Weinstein hired a 22-year-old Paltrow to star in Emma. Before shooting, he had her come to his hotel room for a work meeting that ended with him putting his hands on her and suggesting massages in the bedroom. “I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified.” After refusing, she told her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt, who confronted Weinstein. Weinstein then threatened her not to tell anyone else.

2 Angelina

Jolie Jolie said that in the late 1990s “I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein [and] chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did”.

3 Ashley

Judd During filming in 1997, the actress met Weinstein at a hotel for breakfast, only to find it would be in his suite. Weinstein asked for a massage and for her to watch him shower. “I said no, a lot of ways, a lot of times.” She thought: “How do I get out of the room as fast as possible without alienating [him]?”

4 Rosanna

Arquette Arquette said that in the early 1990s she met Weinstein at a hotel to pick up a script. He opened the door in a robe grabbed her hand and put it on his neck. When she yanked away, he pulled her hand to his penis. “I will never do that,” she told him. He threatened her career and named an actress whose career suffered for refusing his advances. “He made things very difficult for me for years.”

5 Mira

Sorvino Sorvino in 1995 ended up in a hotel room with Weinstein. “He started massaging my shoulders, which made me very uncomfortable, and then tried to get more physical, sort of chasing me around.” Weeks later he showed up at her home. Fearful, she called a male friend to come over. Weinstein left. When she told a female Miramax employee, the reaction “was shock and horror that I had mentioned it”.
