Weinstein scandal: Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow come forward
The New York Times last week published a list of allegations of sexual harassment and rape against American film producer Harvey Weinstein.
The list included allegations from actress Ashley Judd, as well as a number of other women, including former employees of the producer.
Now, A-listers Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow have joined the victims speaking out against him.
Angelina had a similar experience to many of the women, finding herself alone with Weinstein.
'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,' Angeline Jolie told the New York Times.
'This behaviour towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.'
Gwyneth Paltrow also told the NY Times that she had an encounter with the producer after he signed her up to play her breakout role, Emma Woodhouse in Emma.
'I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,' she said, recalling how she had previously considered the film big wig to be her mentor.
'I thought he was going to fire me.'
Harvey Weinstein’s wife, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, yesterday told People Magazine that she was leaving him.
'My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions,' she said.
'I have chosen to leave my husband. '
Footage of the producer has also emerged in which he admits to groping a model.
