Brad Pitt opens up about confronting Harvey Weinstein for ex fiancée Gwyneth Paltrow

Harvey Weinstein... once the powerful Hollywood mogul and now, it's a different story to tell! Multiple women accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and one of them was Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow. The Avengers: Endgame star had opened up on The Howard Stern Show about how her ex-fiance Brad Pitt risked his fame and confronted Harvey after he made a pass at the actress. "Brad Pitt, we were at the opening of Hamlet on Broadway, that Ralph Fiennes was in Hamlet, and Harvey was there, and Brad Pitt, it was like the equivalent of throwing him against the wall, you know, energetically." Gwyneth narrated.

Furthermore, Paltrow shared that it was fantastic to witness because Brad leveraged his fame and power to protect her at a time when Gwyneth had neither. The revelation was made by Gwyneth in May 2018 and during the recent promotional tour for Ad Astra, Brad broke his silence on the incident with CNN. When asked about confronting Harvey, the 55-year-old actor stated that during that paticular moment, he was, "just a boy from the Ozarks on the playground," and that's how they confronted things. "I just wanted to make sure nothing was going to happen further because she (Paltrow) was going to do two films," the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor confessed to CNN.

Talking about the changes in Hollywood post the Harvey Weinstein scandal, Brad concluded, "I think the interesting thing is that we, Hollywood specifically, but the workplace, men and women's dynamics is being recalibrated, recalibrated in a very good way that is long overdue. And I do think that's an important story to tell."
