In an interview with the New York Times<\/a>, the A-listers joined a growing group of women who accused the film exec of inappropriate sexual behavior. Speaking to the Times, Gwyneth alleged that when she was 22 years old and cast as the lead in Emma<\/i>, Harvey invited her to his suite at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for a work meeting, where he put his hands on her and proposed massages in the bedroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,” she recalled, adding that she was afraid of losing her role in the film. Gwyneth added that she told her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt<\/a> about what had happened, and Brad confronted Harvey \u2014 warning him to never touch Gwyneth again. It\u2019s worth noting that Brad\u2019s representatives confirmed this story when approached by the Times.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Gwyneth added to the publication that Harvey called her afterward and yelled at her for telling people about the encounter. She noted: \u201cI was expected to keep the secret,\u201d which she did until 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

And the star has now reflected on her decision to be one of the first big names to speak out against Harvey in a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter,<\/a> where she admitted that she was concerned about what could happen to her career by coming forward. Gwyneth referenced law professor Anita Hill, who testified in 1991 that Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her when she worked with him at the Department of Education and the EEOC.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

Her testimony was televised across America, and Anita faced intense public scrutiny, political attacks, and personal and public pressure to retract her allegations. Meanwhile, Clarence \u2014 who always denied any wrongdoing \u2014 was confirmed into the Supreme Court, and did not face any legal repercussions from Anita\u2019s allegations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

When asked if she had been worried about speaking out against Harvey, Gwyneth confessed: \u201cYou have to remember that I grew up with Anita Hill as my model of what happens. A woman is incredibly brave, she does the right thing, and then she\u2019s eviscerated, and the man goes on to have all the power. We saw that happen again and again, so I really thought it could be cataclysmic for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

\u201cI was very reluctant to speak to a journalist,\u201d she went on. \u201cAnd throughout the investigation, I didn\u2019t know if I\u2019d go on the record. But during the course of my many conversations with Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey of The New York Times, I started to understand the depth, breadth and darkness of what had actually transpired, which I did not know.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

\u201cAnd once I did, I thought: \u2018I have no choice here, I have to say something,\u2019\u201d Gwyneth recalled. \u201cBecause I knew that me co-signing that would be a big deal. And I am so glad I did\u2026 But it was really scary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

Thankfully, Gwyneth said that she ultimately doesn\u2019t feel like she faced any negative repercussions for speaking out. She added: \u201cI was just so angry when I learned everything. And I\u2019m an Enneagram 1 [on the popular personality test], so when I perceive injustice, I go scorched-earth, and I will die on that sword.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

When the reporter then mentioned that Harvey kept a photo of Gwyneth taken on the night she won her Oscar on display in his office \u201clike a prize,\u201d Gwyneth spoke candidly about the reality of their relationship in the years between Brad confronting him and her coming forward with her experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

After saying that it makes her \u201cabsolutely sick\u201d that he had the photo up, Gwyneth confessed: \u201cIt\u2019s also hard for me, because my relationship with Harvey, after that incident, was very complicated, but it was also a great working relationship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

\u201cWe made incredible films together. We sort of got over that weird thing, and I was like: \u2018OK, that\u2019s behind us,\u2019\u201d she went on. \u201cHarvey and I had lots of other fights about lots of other things, but I had this incredible creative run with him and his company. And so it\u2019s complicated because I\u2019m so proud of the work that we did, and it\u2019s wild because he was so gifted at finding talent and understanding and nurturing it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

And Gwyneth\u2019s openness about such a complicated topic has won praise online, with one person saying<\/a> of her quotes about Harvey: \u201csurvivors are allowed to have complicated feelings about their harassers. They don’t have to think in black and white. She didn’t say or imply she felt he became a better person. In fact, she said her picture being in his office for other victims to see makes her sick. The only thing she’s saying is complicated are her feelings about the work she made with him, which is a perfectly normal thing to feel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

Harvey is currently in prison after he was sentenced to 23 years for rape and sexual assault in New York in 2020. In a separate case in Los Angeles, Harvey was sentenced to an additional 16 years after he was found guilty of rape and sexual assault in December 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
