Jolie says Pitt hurt her by

Working with Weinstein

In an expansive chat with The Guardian about her new book about children’s rights, actress Angelina Jolie also opened up about her experience with disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Jolie was asked about her experience of being disrespected in Hollywood, when she said, “Well, no surprise, Harvey Weinstein. I worked with him when I was young,” she says.

Jolie made Playing By Heart, which was released by Miramax, in 1998. It was then she said she had the “bad experience” with the producer. “It was beyond a pass, it was something I had to escape,” Jolie added. “I stayed away and warned people about him. I remember telling Jonny [Lee Miller], my first husband, who was great about it, to spread the word to other guys. I was asked to do The Aviator, but I said no because he was involved. I never associated or worked with him again. It was hard for me when Brad did.”

The Brad being referenced, of course, is Hollywood star Brad Pitt, from whom she is now divorced. Pitt worked with Weinstein on Inglourious Basterds.
