On Tuesday morning, The New Yorker published an article in which three women accuse Weinstein of rape.
Now, Paltrow and Jolie have come forward with their stories to The New York Times.
When Paltrow was 22 years old, Weinstein hired her to star in the movie "Emma." Before filming began, she told the Times that Weinstein invited her up to his room at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for what she thought was a professional meeting - a common tactic that has emerged in accusations against Weinstein.
Paltrow told the Times that the meeting ended with Weinstein touching her and suggesting they head to the bathroom to massage each other. "I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified."
Paltrow said that she refused Weinstein's advances, and told her boyfriend at the time, Brad Pitt, about it. After Pitt confronted Weinstein, Weinstein told Paltrow not to tell anyone else about the incident, she recounted to the Times. "I thought he was going to fire me," Paltrow said. Pitt confirmed her story to the Times via email.
Paltrow, however, continued to appear in Weinstein movies. In 1998, Paltrow won the Oscar for best actress for her work in "Shakespeare in Love," which Weinstein produced.
Angelina Jolie also told the Times that Weinstein harassed her in a hotel room in the late 90s with an unwanted advance. "I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth," Jolie said. "And as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did. This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable."
Rosanna Arquette, who starred in "Pulp Fiction" and French actress Judith Godrèche also have similar stories. Other actresses who have openly accused Weinstein of sexually harassing or assaulting them include Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Asia Argento, and Mira Sorvino.
