Angelina Jolie claims she was also sexually harassed by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in 1998
Angelina
Jolie has joined other female celebrities who claim they were sexually harassed
by media mogul, Harvey Weinstein.
Jolie claims that in
1998, when she was doing a junket for Weinstein's movie, "Playing by
Heart," she was in a hotel room and Weinstein made "an unwanted
advance" toward her. She says she was taken aback and declined the advance
and he backed off. The 42-year-old mother-of-six says she never
complained about the harassment until now.
She told the New York Times:
"I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a
result, chose never to work with him again and warned others when they
did."
After Times broke the sexual
allegations story, four members of the Weinstein Company's all-male board
resigned. The remaining four members (including his brother, Bob) fired
Weinstein on Sunday. They issued a statement Tuesday saying they were "shocked
and dismayed" by the allegations.
