The story of Harvey Weinstein shows how what appears on the surface might be completely opposite to reality, especially in the world of entertainment. Weinstein was one of Hollywood’s most powerful film producers until his scandals became public around 2017.

Various global publications exposed his ill actions and decades-old allegations against him, which gave birth to the #MeToo movement, which enabled women of different industries to speak out against s*xual harassment and abuses.

Weinstein faced all sorts of heinous charges and accusations from celebs from the entertainment industry, which included s*xual assault, harassment, wrongful use of his power and position, and many more. Let’s take a look at the accusations and the alleged victims of Harvey Weinstein’s scandal.

During the MeToo movement, many high-profile celebrities were accused of s*xual assault in the entertainment industry, and one of them was Harvey Weinstein. But before these allegations began to flood in, actresses who had a bad experience with the film producer were already distancing themselves from him, and one of them was Angelina Jolie.

Jolie is known for her unwavering principles, but she was at a crossroads during her relationship with Brad Pitt. The actress decided not to work alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed movie, The Aviator. Although it would have been a great career move, she did not want to be a part of Harvey Weinstein’s project, and the reason behind the same is deeply personal, something that Pitt should’ve been mindful of.

“It was hard for me when Brad did,” said Angelina Jolie, and yeah, we get it. That moment when her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, chose to work with Harvey Weinstein—after she’d already made it clear how much of a predator he was—still stings. You’d think he’d know better.

Jolie opened up in a The Guardian interview, spilling the details of her traumatic run-in with Weinstein when she was just 21, on the set of Playing By Heart in 1998. She was young, trying to make her mark in Hollywood, but Weinstein’s advances crossed a line. “The attempt and the experience of the attempt is an assault,” she said. And yet, she survived it, but the scars were deep. Jolie didn’t just walk away from Weinstein—she bolted, warned everyone in her circle,...

Remember when Angelina Jolie had a golden opportunity to strut her stuff alongside Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore in Charlie’s Angels? Yep, back in 2000, she was all set to join the action-packed girl gang but said, “Thanks, but no thanks!” Why would a rising star with an Oscar on the horizon turn down such a juicy role? Let’s dive into this wild ride of a decision.

At the time, Jolie was on fire! With hits like The Bone Collector and Girl, Interrupted, she was on her path to literal stardom. Columbia Pictures thought Charlie’s Angels would be the icing for her career. They rolled out the red carpet, pitching it hard. “When [Columbia Pictures] sent me the script for Charlie’s Angels, they said there hadn’t been perfect, strong roles for women, that it would make me a big star,...

If there’s one thing Angelina Jolie is known for, it’s her fierce determination. With a bold personality, she’s always made it clear she knows what she wants, and that didn’t change when she crossed paths with Harvey Weinstein.

When she was still pretty young, she had an encounter with the former Miramax executive, and she didn’t hold back in describing just how awful the experience was. The actress even had a fight with her ex-husband Brad Pitt when she saw him working on projects that had Weinstein’s name attached. To this day, she’s still very outspoken about her feelings toward the convicted s*x offender.

In 2020, Harvey Weinstein was convicted of s*x crimes after being accused by several actresses.

David Duchovny says he feels like he “discovered” Angelina Jolie, his Playing God co-star.

The X-Files alum recently revealed in a new interview that he was part of the casting for the 1997 film directed by Andy Wilson.

“I feel like I discovered Angelina Jolie,” Duchovny said on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy when asked what he thought about his former co-stars.

Host Andy Cohen asked Duchovny to explain, with the actor saying, “Yeah, cause I was casting, I was part of the casting. I didn’t discover her, but… she came in, and I just knew she was a movie star, and I told everybody [that] we’ve gotta cast her.”

The Touchstone Pictures film written by Mark Haskell Smith revolved around “a disgraced surgeon [who] leaves his former life and reinvents himself as a gunshot doctor in the criminal underworld.” According to IMDb, the film’s casting directors were Elaine J. Huzzar and Johanna Ray.

Harvey Weinstein is currently serving a twenty-three-year sentence in prison for r-pe and s-xual assault. Of course, this might not have been possible without the many prominent actresses who built up the courage to talk about the heinous acts of the disgraced producer, Angelina Jolie included.

After Harvey Weinstein tried to make unwanted and inappropriate advances against Angelina Jolie when she was just 21, the actress swore that she would never work with him ever again. She stayed true to the promise she made herself, but when her then-partner Brad Pitt wouldn’t do the same, she got absolutely furious, rightly so.

Actors convey a lot through their career choices, like the time when Angelina Jolie rejected working with disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein. Sex*al allegations against Weinstein were first reported in 2017, and soon, several actresses from the industry started to come out and share their stories. The list of accusers was long and full of famous names.

Angelina is an influential personality, but it took years for her to attain this kind of success and prominence in Hollywood. Although she refused to work with Weinstein, her then-partner Brad Pitt worked with him, leaving the Eternals star upset about it. Jolie and Pitt were together for years before splitting up, and they were the It couple in the industry. Jolie and Pitt often made headlines from their time together to their split and even now.

January 11, 1999, 25 years ago to the day, was Jon Stewart’s first night hosting The Daily Show.

The comedian took over from Craig Kilborn, who had hosted the Comedy Central show from July 21, 1996. Stewart’s first guest was Michael J. Fox, promoting Spin City.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart went on to win the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series for ten consecutive years between 2003 and 2012, before losing to The Colbert Report, a show that he exec produced, for a couple of years, and then coming back to win in 2015 in his final season.

It’s a run that Last Week Tonight with John Oliver looked like it might replicate with seven wins in the category – then known as Outstanding Variety Talk Series – starting in 2016.

However, Oliver is now competing on Monday night at the primetime Emmys in a new category, Outstanding Scripted Variety Series, up against Saturday Night Live and A Black Lady Sketch Show,...

Amanda Peet, known for her extensive acting résumé, has balanced her career with being a mom to three children. The actor first made her film debut in 1995's "Animal Room" and had supporting roles in various movies and television shows for the remainder of the 1990s, including projects like "One Fine Day," "Playing by Heart," "Law & Order" and "Seinfeld." In 1999, she landed a lead role as Jacqueline Barrett on The CW's "Jack & Jill," which helped her rise to fame and star in "The Whole Nine Yards," "Something's Gotta Give," "Syriana," and more.

More recently, Peet created and produced the Netflix comedy series "The Chair" in 2021, and she stars in Paramount+'s new series "Fatal Attraction," which hits the platform on April 30.

People are none too pleased with Brad Pitt this weekend after ex-wife Angelina Jolie called him out in a new interview for working with convicted rapist and former Hollywood big shot Harvey Weinstein over her objections.

“Imagine if a man as beloved as Brad Pitt had rung the alarm on Harvey over a decade ago. Things may have been different,” freelance journalist Gennette Cordova tweeted.

Another commented: “Just learned that brad pitt happily chose to work with Angelina Jolie’s abuser and I sincerely hope brad pitt gets kicked in the f—ing nutsack.”

Fans were responding to Jolie’s revelations in a new interview with The Guardian published Saturday. The Oscar-winning actress said that Pitt’s choice to work with The Weinstein Company on Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Bastards” and later “Killing Them Softly” — Weinstein’s company produced the former and distributed the latter — was a sore spot in their marriage,...

In a new interview, Angelina Jolie further opened up about her experience with convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein, sharing that she turned down a role in Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator” to avoid working with him.

“If you get yourself out of the room, you think he attempted but didn’t, right?” the actress told The Guardian of his unwanted advances while shooting the Weinstein-produced “Playing by Heart” in 1998 at age 21. “The truth is that the attempt and the experience of the attempt is an assault.”

Jolie has spoken on her experience with Weinstein before as a “bad experience,” but now labels it an alleged assault — and said that it was difficult for her when her former husband, Brad Pitt, continued to work with him.

“It was beyond a pass, it was something I had to escape. I stayed away and warned people about him. I remember telling Jonny, my first husband,...

Angelina Jolie is in the news for her ongoing custody battle with Brad Pitt, whom she divorced in 2019, as well as for her upcoming role in Chloe Zhao’s Marvel entry “The Eternals.” But a recent, deep-dive interview with the actress, who was unusually candid in The Guardian, Jolie spoke about an encounter she had with now-convicted rapist and former movie producer Harvey Weinstein early in her career — and how the trauma of that incident led her to turn down Martin Scorsese because of Weinstein’s involvement.

When asked about the first time she felt disrespected in the industry, Jolie said, “Erm… well, no surprise, Harvey Weinstein. I worked with him when I was young.” Jolie was only 21 when she made the 1998 Miramax romantic comedy “Playing by Heart,” on which Weinstein served as an executive producer. She said that she managed to escape Weinstein, but that women often downplay their...

Think that three-carat cushion-cut diamond engagement ring that Matthew Koma just gave Hilary Duff is impressive? That beauty is nothing compared to Hilary's net worth. Ever since she relocated to Hollywood at the tender age of 6 to begin her acting career, the former Disney Channel starlet has been raking in revenue from TV shows, movies, albums, novels, and fashion lines, even earning the 72nd spot on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list in 2007 for making $12 million that year alone. But that was so yesterday - how much is the 31-year-old Younger star worth now? Let's break it down.

After playing several small roles in movies like Playing by Heart, Casper Meets Wendy, and The Soul Collector, Hilary got her big break in 2001 when she was cast as the titular character in Disney Channel's mega hit TV show Lizzie McGuire. The show ran for two seasons and 65 episodes, even inspiring a movie in 2003 that grossed over $55 million worldwide.

“Ramy,” debuting April 19, tells the story of first generation Egyptian-American Ramy Hassan as he finds himself in his New Jersey neighborhood, stuck at a crossroads between the morals of his Muslim community and the moral ambiguity of his millennial generation. “Into The Dark: I’m Just F*cking With You,” coming April 1, finds two siblings in a secluded motel, where they become subject to practical jokes of an increasingly frightening nature.

Woody Allen says he’s “sad for everyone involved” in Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct scandal — including the mogul himself.

“Tragic for the poor women that were involved, sad for Harvey that life is so messed up,” Allen, 81, told the BBC in an interview published on Sunday. “There’s no winners in that, it’s just very, very sad and tragic for these poor women that had to go through that.”

Vampire Diaries actress Alice Evans penned an emotional essay on Saturday in which she opened up about about rejecting disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s sexual advances and pondered the professional consequences that had on both her career and the career of her actor husband Ioan Gruffudd.

In the piece written for The Telegraph, Evans, 46, said her encounter with Weinstein happened at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival where he approached her with a drink and complimented a recent audition Gruffudd had done for one of his projects.

Though Evans had heard rumors about Weinstein’s alleged bad behavior, she was concerned...

Over a decade before some of Hollywood’s biggest stars came out to accuse disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, The People vs. Larry Flint star Courtney Love warned up-and-coming actress of his bad behavior.

In an interview from the red carpet of the Comedy’s Central’s 2005 roast of Pamela Anderson, Love was asked by comedian Natasha Leggero what advice she has for young women trying to make it in Hollywood.

“Ummm… I’ll get libeled if I say it,” Love, 53, says at first in video of the chat unearthed by TMZ.

She then stops hesitating.

Eva Green is adding her name to the long list of stars who have accused disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment.

In a statement issued to Variety, the 37-year-old Penny Dreadful star claimed she had to push Weinstein off of her after he made sexual advances during a business meeting in Paris.

The claim comes a day after Green’s mother, French actress Marlene Jobert, first revealed that her daughter was also “sexually harassed” by the movie mogul for two years during 2010-11.

“My daughter Eva was the victim of this horrible man,” the 76-year old star told Europe 1 radio,...

Before Harvey Weinstein‘s career was upended by allegations of sexual assault from a number of women, the film mogul’s influence extended beyond Hollywood — and into politics.

The movie mogul — who is now spending time in an Arizona luxury resort after numerous accusations from high-profile women including Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Kate Beckinsale — donated nearly $1 million in his own name to Democratic politicians over the past 17 years, according to Business Insider.

Notable among the group are former President Barack Obama, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Al Franken, Cory Booker, and Kirsten Gillibrand...

Emma Thompson has strong words for Harvey Weinstein.

On Thursday, the Oscar winner spoke out against the movie mogul — adding that he’s hardly the only male in Hollywood who has allegedly abused his position of power over women.

“I didn’t know about these things, but they don’t surprise me at all, and they’re endemic to the system,” Thompson, 58, said during an interview with BBC Newsnight.

“What I find sort of extraordinary is that this man is at the top of a very particular iceberg, you know he’s — I don’t think you can describe him as a ‘sex addict,...

Tom Hanks is no fan of Harvey Weinstein.

The actor spoke out against the movie mogul to the New York Times in a feature about his collection of short stories, titled Uncommon Type: Some Stories. Hanks, 61, said he didn’t buy Weinstein’s statement in response to the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him by multiple women in the Nyt, including actress Ashley Judd.

In the lengthy statement on Oct.5, Weinstein referenced his upbringing in a different time when addressing the allegations.

“I came of age in the 60’s and 70’s, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different.

Another actress has come forward accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. French star Florence Darel says the movie mogul relentlessly pursued her in the mid ’90s and then propositioned her in a hotel room while his wife at the time, Eve Chilton, was in the room next door.

“I was in shock. I was in shock,” Darel, 49, tells People about the alleged incident. “I was astonished. When you have someone so physically disgusting in front of you, continuing and continuing as though this was all perfectly normal… What happened to me may not be illegal but it was inappropriate. Very inappropriate.

Kate Beckinsale is the latest actress to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. On Thursday, the Underworld star claimed her career suffered after rejecting the movie mogul’s sexual advances starting at the age of 17.

When a cameraman said he was glad to see the producer was all right, he responded, “I’m not doing okay, but I’m trying. I gotta get help.”

He added, “We all make mistakes. Second chance, I hope.”

Harvey Weinstein and his 22-year-old daughter Remy got into an argument so heated this morning that the police were called.

“Harvey and Remy had a yelling argument, and Harvey left her house upset,” a source tells People, adding, “He seemed stressed out and very unhappy.”

The Los Angeles Police Department confirms that officers responded to a “family disturbance call” at Remy’s Hollywood home around 10 a.m. on Wednesday.

Brad Pitt was one of the first people that Gwyneth Paltrow told about her alleged sexual encounter with Harvey Weinstein when she was just 22 years old.

At the time, Pitt was dating the now 45-year-old actress, who claims in a piece by The New York Times that the encounter occurred before filming began on 1996's Emma. A source tells Et that when Pitt heard of Weinstein's alleged inappropriate behavior, he "felt compelled to confront" the producer, telling him repeatedly that it better "never happen again."

"Gwyneth was someone important to him and he did what he thought was right," the source says. "He didn't think about the consequences to his career that might come from confronting Harvey; he just did what he needed to."

Despite the alleged incident, Paltrow continued to work with Weinstein -- and so did Pitt. Years after Pitt confronted Weinstein, the two worked together on the 2009 war drama, Inglourious Basterds. Pitt starred...

Tamron Hall got to know Harvey Weinstein in the wake of her NBC exit last February, building a friendship with the Hollywood producer and even signing a talk-show development deal with The Weinstein Company three months ago.

Your obituary for Harry Dean Stanton (18 September) mispunctuates the title of the TV series Have Gun – Will Travel by substituting a comma for the dash. This had a curious effect on the list of TV horse operas Stanton acted in: “Laramie, The Gun, Have Gun, Will Travel, Bonanza and Rawhide.” Even the Oxford comma, which coincidentally played a part in Sunday’s episode of Strike, can’t come to our rescue with that one, though it could have helped with Bonanza and Rawhide.

Well, this is great news for people who cares about great works and great actors: Gillian Anderson and Jim Broadbent have joined the cast of the BBC/Weinsteins TV drama version of "War and Peace." It's going to be six one-hour episodes, and you know what that means: Maybe Gillian Anderson can cash in on some of that Kate Winslet-in-"Mildred Pierce" Emmy cred she so deserves.

She’s happily wedded to Brad Pitt, but if things don’t work out Angelina Jolie could give Jon Stewart a call.
