Actors Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie have joined the ranks of women who say Hollywood exec Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed them as news of his alleged widespread abuse of women in Hollywood spreads.
Weinstein reportedly harassed Paltrow at his hotel after hiring her for a lead role in his adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Emma” when she was 22. She refused his advances and then-boyfriend Brad Pitt confronted Weinstein. She said she was warned to keep quiet about the incident, The New York Times reported.
Jolie said she was harassed in Weinstein’s hotel room in the late 1990s.
“I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did,” Jolie told the Times in an email. “This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.”
Two two household names aren't alone, however. Here are nine other women who say Weinstein harassed them:
1. Rosanna Arquette
According to the Times, Weinstein asked Arquette to stop by the Beverly Hills Hotel to pick up a script in the early 1990s, then had her sent up to his room where he allegedly asked her for a massage and tried to take her hand and put it between her legs. He then reportedly boasted about other famous women he had slept with and the role intended for her to someone else when she refused him.
2. Katherine Kendall
Weinstein allegedly lured Kendall to his apartment after taking her to a movie screening, then undressed and tried to get her to massage him. She says he chased her around the room and wouldn’t let her leave, then tried to bargain with her to show her breasts. She refused and finally got away, but the incident stole much of her enthusiasm for the movie business. “If this is what it takes, I can’t do it,” she told herself, the Times reported.
3. Ashley Judd
After Weinstein invited her to a business meeting at a luxury hotel, he asked Judd repeatedly to massage him, watch him shower, and sleep with him, The Daily Beast reported. She refused and left.
4. Asia Argento
“B. Monkey” actress Argento said Weinstein forced oral sex on her after telling her there was a Miramax party at the hotel (Weinstein was the only one there). Although the two later had consensual sex, she said she felt forced into the initial encounter, People reported.
Other women who have accused Weinstein of unwanted advances on them over his several decades as a movie producer and distributor include:
5. TV reporter Lauren Sivan
6. Company employee Emily Nestor
7. Assistant Lauren O’Connor
8. French actor Judith Godreche
9. Costume designer Dawn Dunning
According to the Times, Weinstein’s attorneys claim all physical contact was consensual and that the women were not retaliated against for refusing his advances.
