During the interview, she shared how her then-boyfriend threatened the convicted personality so that he would never bother her. She recalled what Brad Pitt told her after confronting Weinstein, “If you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I’ll kill you.”
During an interaction with CNN in 2019, the War Machine actor shared, “At that moment, I was just a boy from the Ozarks on the playground and that’s how we confronted things. I just wanted to make sure nothing was going to happen further because Paltrow was going to do two (more) films (with Weinstein). I think the interesting thing is that we, Hollywood specifically, but the workplace, men and women’s dynamics is being recalibrated, recalibrated in a long overdue and very good way. And I do think that’s an important story to tell.”
Back in October 2017, Weinstein was allegedly reported for sexual misconduct through the MeToo movement in which around 90 women came forward and shared their experiences including the MCU star. He was found guilty and convicted on charges of rape in 2021 and has been sentenced to 23 years in prison.
