247 - Actresses Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mira Sorvino, and Asia Argento have accused movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, 55, of harassment or rape. The accusations against him – both public and anonymous – number over two dozen.
On Sunday (8), he was fired from his own company, The Weinstein Company, after the American newspaper "The New York Times" revealed a series of accusations from women against the producer over the past 30 years.
He apologized, but denied rape allegations or retaliation. In a slow but steady movement, Hollywood stars began to publicly address the case.
Jolie told the publication that she was harassed in 1999 during the promotion of the film "Playing by Heart". She then said she decided never to work with him again and reported the incident to other women.
Paltrow claimed that Weinstein called her to his hotel room before filming "Emma" when she was 22 years old. According to her, the producer touched her and suggested they go to his room for "massages."
