Gwyneth Paltrow, famous witness

In She said Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who was Brad’s girlfriend when Weinstein sexually assaulted her in 1995 at what was supposed to be a business meeting, appears as the complainant.

She I had signed up to do a couple of films with him and was very scared. She told Brad about it and praised him for snapping at Weinstein at a Broadway premiere, warning him that if he bothered her again he’d have to deal with it.

Paltrow participates in the film, putting her voice on a phone call with reporters. “Brad has done a fantastic thing,” praised Gwyneth. I was 22 and I wasn’t famous, but he was and with his power he protected me”.

The actor acknowledged years later in an interview with Cnn that’s how things were. “I didn’t have much power, but definitely more than her. What’s interesting is that in Hollywood the work dynamics between men and women are recalibrated and that’s very good.”

not all are roses

Some reporters Pitt has been criticized for making two more films with Weinstein after learning he stalked his girlfriend. Although it is said that the most famous, Inglourious Basterdshe only did it because his friend, the director, asked him to Quentin Tarantino.

It’s that there was a delay in show business recognizing that this powerful man who was friends with everyone could be depraved. Even Meryl Streep has been criticized for standing up for him At the beginning.

Other Pitt detractors point to allegations made by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, who also had a bad experience with Weinstein early in her career and never worked with the Miramax strongman again.

In the court of (dethroned) King Harvey Weinstein Reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor starred in She said by Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, they had to work hard to get not only the victims but also the producer’s entourage to give them information.

At trial in Los Angeles Mel Gibson was supposed to come testify what a friendly masseuse told her after being harassed by the producer. It is speculated that she will not appear. And it’s not because of the defense’s attempts to stop her testimony that she accused Gibson of being an anti-Semite.

Weinstein’s defense attorneys are writing a separate chapter. Jennifer Siebel, wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who alleges she was raped by the producer who summoned her to a “business meeting,” was asked to fake an orgasm as she said she did in her testimony about she.

“This is not when Harry met Sally”, refused the documentary filmmaker, referring to the famous scene of Meg Ryan in a restaurant. “If she hadn’t become a prominent victim of #Metoo, she might just be one of those ‘babies’ who wanted to sleep with Harvey to get a job,” the attorney countered.

The dynamic between men and women in Hollywood is not as even as Brad Pitt assumes. But you have to admit it tries to put his grain of sand.
