PEOPLE IN THE NEWS

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow says Brad Pitt threatened to kill film producer Harvey Weinstein after an alleged incident of harassment in a hotel room. Paltrow, 45, on Wednesday detailed her then-boyfriend’s reaction on “The Howard Stern Show.”

Weinstein had hired Paltrow, then 22, as the lead in the 1996 movie “Emma.” He summoned her to his suite at a Beverly Hills hotel for a work meeting, which Paltrow says ended with Weinstein placing his hands on her and suggesting they head to the bedroom for massages.

“It was out of the blue,” Paltrow said Wednesday.

Paltrow said she told Pitt of the alleged encounter “right away,” leading him to confront Weinstein. “(Brad) said, ‘If you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I’ll kill you.’ Or something like that,” she said.

“It was so fantastic because ... he leveraged his fame and power to protect me at a time when I didn’t have fame or power yet,” Paltrow added.

Trump tweets support for Fox’s Tomi Lahren after harassment

President Donald Trump tweeted his support for the “outstanding and respected” Fox contributor Tomi Lahren after a patron at a Minneapolis restaurant threw water on her and others chanted profanity.

Lahren told “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday the harassment happened while she was having brunch with her parents on Sunday. She said the encounter was “disheartening,” but she’s “tough” and said she could handle it.

“I think people forget I’m a real person at the end of the day and these things embarrass and humiliate me, and especially for my family, I didn’t want them to have to be a part of this,” Lahren said.
