Angelina Jolie claimed that she was sexually harassed by film producer Weinstein when she was 21 years old. That time she was on the set 1998 movie Playing By Heart.
Jolie said about the harassement, “If you get yourself out of the room, you think he attempted but didn’t, right? The truth is that the attempt and the experience of the attempt is an assault… It was beyond a pass, it was something I had to escape.
“I stayed away and warned people about him. I remember telling Jonny [Lee Miller], my first husband, who was great about it, to spread the word to other guys – don’t let girls go alone with him.”
After the incident, Jolie refused to work with Weinstein again and found it “hard” when her former husband Brad Pitt continued to act in his projects despite knowing he had assaulted her, saying:
“We fought about it. Of course it hurt.” Weinstein told TMZ through his assistant about this matter, “THERE WAS NEVER an assault, and NEVER an attempt to assault. It is brazenly untrue and clickbait publicity. “You’re Angelina Jolie, every male and female in the world, I’m sure, shows interest in you. Is the whole world assaulting you?”
