[Gwyneth Paltrow:] “We had one incident in a hotel room where [Harvey Weinstein] tried to make a pass at me,” she said, saying that he requested she give him a massage.
“It was weird,” she said. “I was alone in a room with him. It was out of the blue. I was blind-sided. I was shocked.”
Paltrow, who was hired aged 22 by Weinstein to play the lead in Emma, told her then boyfriend, Brad Pitt, about the incident. ... “He said, ‘If you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I’ll kill you.’ Or something like that. It was so fantastic. He leveraged his fame and power to protect me at a time when I didn’t have fame or power yet.”
