Angelina Jolie recalled feeling 'hurt' after Brad Pitt chose to work with Harvey Weinstein: 'We fought for it'
In a new interview with The Guardian, the Maleficent actress opened up how the film's producer, who was convicted of rape in February 2020 after dozens of allegations of misconduct and assault, attempted to assault her when she was working on the film Playing. By Heart.
Jolie said of the experience: “If you leave the room, you think he tried but he didn't, right? The truth is that the attempt and the experience of the attempt is an aggression ”.
She added that the situation was "beyond a pass" and that it was "something she had to escape from." She recalled telling her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller, to tell other people in the industry about Harvey Weinstein and not to allow "the girls to be alone with him."
While the Oscar winner did not work with Weinstein after the experience, she recalled her disappointment when her now ex-husband Pitt chose to star in Quentin Tarantino's 2009 film Inglourious Basterds, which was co-produced by The Weinstein Company. .
“We fight for it,” she said of Pitt, from whom she split in 2016 after two years of marriage. "Of course it hurts."
Pitt's ex-girlfriend, Gwyneth Paltrow, also alleged that Pitt was aware of Weinstein's inappropriate behavior toward women.
According to Paltrow, Pitt even threatened Weinstein directly in 1995, after Paltrow confessed to him that the producer had made fun of her in a hotel room. In a 2018 interview with Howard Stern, Paltrow said of the Ad Astra star: "He took advantage of his fame and power to protect me at a time when I had no fame and no power yet."
The actor confirmed the story to CNN in 2019, telling Christine Amanpour: "At the time, I was just an Ozark kid on the playground and that's how we dealt with things. I just wanted to make sure nothing was going to happen. More, because Paltrow was going to do two [more] movies [with Weinstein]. I think the interesting thing is that we, Hollywood specifically, but the workplace, the dynamic of men and women is being recalibrated, recalibrated in a very good way. That's a long time ago. And I think that's an important story to tell. "
