Jolie and Paltrow join torrent of harassment claims against Weinstein, as three others allege rape
Sexual misconduct claims against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein have escalated in number and severity, with actress Asia Argento claiming he raped her
An avalanche of allegations poured out against Harvey Weinstein in on-the-record reports that detailed claims of sexual abuse and included testimonies from Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, further intensifying the already explosive collapse of the disgraced movie mogul.
Three women accused Weinstein of raping them in a story published online by The New Yorker, including the Italian actress Asia Argento and a woman who was an aspiring actress in college when she caught Weinstein’s eye.
A representative for the mogul – whose wife, Georgina Chapman, announced Tuesday that she was leaving him – vehemently denied the allegations in a statement to the magazine.
In a follow-up to its earlier expose, The New York Times also reported Tuesday that many other actresses have in recent days added to the chorus of accusations surrounding Weinstein.
Paltrow described Weinstein’s attempt to lure her, then 22, into giving him a massage in a hotel room.
He has crushed a lot of people before. That’s why this story – in my case, it’s twenty years old, some of them are older – has never come out
