With Harvey Weinstein set to turn
himself in to the New York police Friday, Gwyneth Paltrow revisited
her own experiences with the disgraced mogul in the 1990s, revealing
that Brad Pitt threatened to kill Weinstein after she told him of the
alleged sexual harassment she experienced at the hands of Weinstein.
During an interview on Howard Stern’s
Sirius XM radio show Wednesday, Paltrow said she immediately told her
then-boyfriend Pitt when Weinstein asked her for a massage while the
two were alone in a hotel room. Pitt confronted the producer when the
three attended the opening of “Hamlet” on Broadway.
“It was the equivalent of throwing
him against the wall,” she said.
Pitt then allegedly told Weinstein: “If
you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I’ll kill you.”
Paltrow had already signed on to make
two movies with the producer, so she was particularly disconcerted by
the hotel room incident. The actress expressed her approval of Pitt’s
actions: “He leveraged his fame and power to protect me at a time
when I didn’t have fame and power yet,” she said.
