Disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein has reacted to the allegations levelled by actress Gwyneth Paltrow nearly a decade. The actress’ allegations against him helped trigger the global #MeToo movement, reports ‘Female First UK’.
Weinstein, 73, the former film producer who was convicted of sex crimes in cases brought in New York and California, made the comments in an interview conducted from custody with ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, claiming he “won’t forgive” the actress for speaking publicly about an encounter she said occurred early in her career, The fallen movie producer is currently awaiting a retrial after an appeals court overturned his New York conviction, ruling that testimony presented during the original trial had been prejudicial.
He discussed allegations made by Gwyneth Paltrow, now 53, who said she was 22 when the then-producer allegedly made an unwanted advance during a meeting connected to a film role.
As per ‘Female First UK’, Gwyneth was among dozens of women who publicly accused Harvey of sexual misconduct in 2017, accusations that helped ignite the #MeToo movement.
Weinstein said, “I don’t know what drove her to do what she did. To make such a big deal over nothing. I walked out of a nice meeting with her and said, ‘How about a massage? And she just went, ‘No, I don’t think so’. “I got the message. I never put my hands on her. She told Brad Pitt. “Brad Pitt came to me and said, ‘Don’t do anything like that with my girl’. I said, ‘Don’t worry, Brad. I got it’. But then Gwyneth goes on Howard Stern and and makes a big deal about it all. She knows that nothing happened. But this person who was a friend, who owes her career to me, just stabs me in the back. She wanted to be part of the crowd. I won’t forgive her for that”.
Gwyneth previously said the incident took place after a meeting in a hotel room during the early stages of her acting career. She added she rejected the alleged advance and later told her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt, 62, about the encounter. Gwyneth later described how Brad confronted Harvey at the opening night of the play Hamlet on Broadway in 1995.
