Hollywood Producer Harvey Weinstein has been accused by many actresses of sexual misconduct.

It was courageous of Brad Pitt then, in the 1990s, to confront somebody as powerful as Harvey Weinstein. When asked about it, Brad said, “At that moment, I was just a boy from the Ozarks on the playground.. and that's.. and that's how we confronted with things. I just wanted to make sure nothing was going to happen further because she (Paltrow) was going to do two films. 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.” In her confession, Gwyneth Paltrow had revealed about how Harvey called her to his hotel room and suggested that they give each other massages. In an interview with NYT, she stated, “(the meeting) ended with Mr. Weinstein placing his hands on her and suggesting they head to the bedroom for massages. Okay then!
