In his interview from behind bars at Rikers Island in New York, Weinstein mentioned allegations made by Paltrow, who stated she was 22 when the then-producer allegedly made an undesirable advance throughout a gathering related to a movie position. Paltrow was amongst dozens of ladies who publicly accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct in 2017, accusations that helped ignite the #MeToo motion.
Weinstein stated: “I do not know what drove her to do what she did.”
He added: “To make such an enormous deal over nothing. I walked out of a pleasant assembly together with her and stated, ‘How a few therapeutic massage?’
“And he or she simply went, ‘No, I do not assume so.’ I acquired the message. I by no means put my palms on her. She instructed Brad Pitt.
“Brad Pitt got here to me and stated, ‘Do not do something like that with my woman’.
“I stated, ‘Don’t fret, Brad. I acquired it’.
“However then Gwyneth goes on Howard Stern and makes an enormous deal about all of it.
“She is aware of that nothing occurred. However this individual, who was a pal, who owes her profession to me, simply stabs me within the again.
“She wished to be a part of the gang. I will not forgive her for that.”
