If you didn’t already hate Harvey Weinstein enough, what he’s now whining about will make your blood boil.
It’s been six years now since the defamed Hollywood producer was convicted of criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree and sentenced to 23 years in prison. But unfortunately, even being locked up at Rikers Island prison in New York isn’t enough to drown out his pathetic cries for sympathy. Because he now has the audacity to condemn Gwyneth Paltrow for calling his ass out!
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday, the disgraced filmmaker angrily reflected on Gwyneth sounding the alarms on him. In case you don’t remember, the Oscar-winning actress was one of the first Hollywood stars to speak out against Weinstein in 2017 during the #MeToo movement. Once upon a time, she was a rising star in the ‘90s whom Weinstein attempted to take advantage of, like he did to many other victims. She claimed that during a meeting at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel at the time, he physically touched her and suggested they go to his hotel room for massages.
While speaking out, the Marty Supreme actress revealed she was so shocked and rattled by Weinstein’s suggestion that she confided about it to her then-fiancé Brad Pitt… who it did NOT go over well with. Gwyneth revealed he confronted the Miramax founder and demanded he NEVER touch her again. And that deeply angered the sex offender. During his interview with THR, he complained he will never “forgive her for that.”
Is he f**king kidding??
HE will never forgive HER? For WHAT, exactly?! It’s he who inflicted the bulls**t on her, not the other way around. She just was brave enough to speak up about it. What a scumbag.

Last May, Weinstein admitted he “definitely made a pass” at the Shallow Hal actress, but he attempted to pass it off as harmless — which is just par for the course for a man in power who doesn’t take a second to think about how his actions affect and traumatize impressionable young artists. On Monday, he further attempted to minimize the situation, claiming Gwyneth made “a big deal over nothing.”
“I walked out of a nice meeting with her and said, ‘How about a massage?’ And she just went, ‘No, I don’t think so.’ I got the message. I never put my hands on her. She told Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt came to me and said, ‘Don’t do anything like that with my girl.’ I said ‘Don’t worry, Brad. I got it.’”
Weinstein continued:
“But then Gwyneth goes on Howard Stern and The New York Times and makes a big deal about it all. She knows that nothing happened. This person who was a friend, who owes her career to me, just stabs me in the back.”
The entitlement! What a total creep.
In 2024, Weinstein successfully appealed his New York rape conviction, and is expected to head back to court next month for a retrial. However, his three convictions of rape and sexual assault in California still stand, but he is trying to appeal them. To this day, he maintains his innocence and claimed the army of actresses who spoke out about him just want to be “part of the club” and faked their accusations. He told THR:
“Rose McGowan, Rosanna Arquette, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie — they just exaggerated. They wanted to be victims. They wanted to be part of the club. And they destroyed me.”
“They wanted to be victims”? WTAF.
