Jolie accuses Weinstein of sexual harassment![with pics]

Harvey Weinstein. Creative American movie producer and director. That's the version we gullible movie lovers know. We adored Harvey Weinstein for bringing movies like: pulp fiction, Macbeth, Gold, Six, New York Gangsters and many more into our lives. But Angelina Jolie and other insiders like her, have a starkly different memory of this film production idol.

"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," Jolie, Oscar winner aged 42, claimed in an email to The New York Times in a report published on Tuesday, October 10. "This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable."

Even Kate Winslet, George Clooney and others, voted against Harvey Weinstein as an exemplary figure. Likely because they've also previously smelt a rat around Weinstein. What did Mr Weinstein really do?

Still on Jolie, According to the NYT, Weinstein,  aged 65, allegedly made unwanted advances on Jolie in a hotel room in the late 1990s around the time of the release of her film Playing by Heart! There certainly is more drama "behind the scenes" than on-screen!

Gwyneth Paltrow shared a similar story with the Times . She claimed that after the producer hired her for the lead role in the 1996 adaptation of Jane Austen's
Emma, he invited her to his suite at The Peninsula hotel in Beverly Hills for a work meeting that ended with him placing his hands on her and suggesting bedroom massages.
"I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified," the 45-year-old actress, who was 22 at the time of the alleged encounter, recalled in an interview with the paper. C'mon Weinstein, ever heard of unselfish favors? Probably not.

Paltrow refused Weinstein's alleged advances and told her then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt,(hooray) who later married Jolie. The actor, aged 53, confronted Weinstein "very clearly and strongly and unequivocally" at a movie premiere, a source confirms to Us Weekly . The executive then allegedly threatened Paltrow over the phone not to tell anyone else. "I thought he was going to fire me," she said. "He screamed at me for a long time. It was brutal."
The founder of Goop has since decided to speak out in hopes of helping those in similar situations. "We're at a point in time when women need to send a clear message that this is over. This way of treating women ends now," she said.

Weinstein has been under fire since The New York Times published a blistering report last week that detailed nearly 30 years of allegations against him. He was
fired from The Weinstein Company on Sunday, October 8. The New Yorker published a report on Tuesday morning that included
multiple allegations of sexual assault dating back to the 1990s.
"Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein," the producer's rep said in a statement to the Times . "Mr. Weinstein has further confirmed that there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances. He will not be available for further comments, as he is taking the time to focus on his family, on getting counseling and rebuilding his life." About time man.

Still on the list, Rosanna Arquette, a star of “Pulp Fiction,” has a similar account of Mr. Weinstein’s behavior, as does Judith Godrèche, a leading French actress.
