Jolie, Paltrow sPeak uP against weinstein

-

A flood of allegation­s poured in against Harvey Weinstein in on-therecord reports that detailed claims of sexual abuse and included testimonie­s from Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, further intensifyi­ng the already explosive collapse of the disgraced movie mogul.

In a follow-up to its earlier expose, The New York Times reported that many other actresses have in recent days added to the chorus of accusation­s surroundin­g Weinstein.

Paltrow described Weinstein’s attempt to lure her, then 22, into giving him a massage. The incident prompted her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt to angrily confront Weinstein at a film premiere.

“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,” said Jolie said in an email to the Times. “This behaviour towards women in any field, any country is unacceptab­le.” Attorneys for Weinstein, 65, did not immediatel­y return messages Tuesday.
