Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Others Say Weinstein Harassed Them
The Failing New York Times ^

Posted on 10/10/2017 11:16:28 AM PDT by bryan999

When Gwyneth Paltrow was 22 years old, she got a role that would take her from actress to star: The film producer Harvey Weinstein hired her for the lead in the Jane Austen adaptation “Emma.” Before shooting began, he summoned her to his suite at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for a work meeting that began uneventfully.

It ended with Mr. Weinstein placing his hands on her and suggesting they head to the bedroom for massages, she said.

“I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,” she said in an interview, publicly disclosing that she was sexually harassed by the man who ignited her career and later helped her win an Academy Award.

She refused his advances, she said, and confided in Brad Pitt, her boyfriend at the time. Mr. Pitt confronted Mr. Weinstein, and soon after, the producer warned her not to tell anyone else about his come-on. “I thought he was going to fire me,” she said.

Thank you President Trump for holding a match to the @ss of the failing New York Slimes over this massive problem in Liberal LaLaLand.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Ashley Judd have finally become emboldened to speak up because of something TRUMP did. Think about that !

Jessica Chastain said she was “warned from the beginning” about Harvey Weinstein’s alleged inappropriate behavior towards women.

The actress tweeted Monday, “I was warned from the beginning. The stories were everywhere. To deny that is to create an enviornment (sic) for it to happen again.”

Everyone knew it.

Even George Loony knew it.

He recently said this.

Paltrow is the daughter of two well known actors. IF this happened to her just imagine what he was doing to others.

All these really strong women all other women are supposed to look up to, folded like a cheap lawn chair when abused by this guy.

“Hey look ladies, this is how you act strong. Emulate us!”

Now I’m not in the habit of criticizing women who are abused, but most women don’t set themselves up to be idolized by advocating for women to be strong, only to allow this sort of thing to be done to them without objecting.

Not ONE story about Weinstein on ABC Radio affiliate WBT in Charlotte, NC. Not ONE.

Plenty stories about “Americans oppose Trump’s immigration plan.”

Sad...

And it took her 21 years to come forward, even after she became a mega star and amassed a fortune allowing her to never work again. Coward.

I consider looking at his unshaven fat face to be harassment. Sign me up too, MeganC.

Well, Trump winning is eventually going to be the thing that brought Weinstein down

He was protected by Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama and became one of the untouchables

As his power and immunity from prosecution grew, his actions became bolder due to lack of accountability for his behavior . At the same time, Hollywood is changing and Harvey is becoming less powerful

When his political protectors went down, so did he

So... so brave to come out and say it now while he’s on his way down and everyone else is kicking him.

Courage.

Courage.

This is BS.

Gwyneth Paltrow was NOT a starlet looking for work. Her mother, Blythe Danner was already an established star and I’m sure, well connected. Gwyneth did not have to suck up to this pervert.

Me thinks Ms Paltrow is jumping on the bandwagon to gain a little free publicity for her waning career.
