Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein whined that former friend Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a> \u201cstabbed\u201d him in the back with her sexual harassment claims \u2014 and recalled being confronted by her then-fianc\u00e9 Brad Pitt after he asked the star for a massage. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis person who\u00a0was a friend, who owes her career to me, just stabs me in the back,\u201d Weinstein, 73, told the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> of Paltrow in a raging interview from his Rikers Island prison cell.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wanted to be part of the crowd. I won\u2019t forgive her for that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Paltrow, 53, was one of more than 100 women to accuse Weinstein of sexual harassment<\/a> after a bombshell 2017 New York Times expos\u00e9 unleashed a torrent of similar allegations against the film producer \u2014 leading to both his imprisonment and the worldwide #MeToo movement.<\/p>\n

She was a rising star<\/a> in the mid-1990s when Weinstein allegedly grabbed her and offered to go to a hotel bedroom for massages \u2014 an incident that left her so rattled that she confided in her then-fianc\u00e9 Brad Pitt about what happened.<\/p>\n

But Weinstein \u2014 who has previously brushed off the encounter \u2014 insisted that Paltrow made \u201ca big deal over nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI walked out of a nice meeting with her and said, \u2018How about a massage?\u2019 And she just went, \u2018No, I don\u2019t think so.\u2019 I got the message. I never put my hands on her,\u201d he said. \u201cShe told\u00a0Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt came to me and said, \u2018Don\u2019t do anything like that with my girl.\u2019 I said \u2018Don\u2019t worry, Brad. I got it.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBut\u00a0then Gwyneth goes on Howard Stern and The New York Times and makes a big deal about it all. She knows that nothing happened,\u201d Weinstein added. \u201cThis person who was a friend, who owes her career to me, just stabs me in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weinstein has been accused of sexual misconduct by more 100 women \u2014 allegations which resulted in 2020 rape convictions and a 23-year New York prison sentence, along with a 16-year sentence for convictions in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

But he successfully appealed his New York conviction, and will be returning to court in April for a retrial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And he maintains that he\u2019s innocent, telling the Hollywood Reporter that he\u2019d one day be exonerated \u2014 and that numerous actresses wanted to be \u201cpart of the club\u201d and faked allegations against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cRose McGowan, Rosanna Arquette, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie \u2014 they just exaggerated,\u201d Weinstein said. \u201cThey wanted to be victims. They wanted to be part of the club. And they destroyed me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein whined that former friend Gwyneth Paltrow \u201cstabbed\u201d him in the back with her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":515349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,13846,35083,88111,1999,2825,18181,233193,229888,3044,2226,194],"class_list":{"0":"post-515348","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-gwyneth-paltrow","10":"tag-harvey-weinstein","11":"tag-inmates","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-prisons","14":"tag-rape","15":"tag-rikers-island","16":"tag-sexual-assaults","17":"tag-sexual-harassment","18":"tag-trials","19":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=515348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/515349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
