The 45-year-old actress told The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday she was “blindsided”. She claimed she was 22 when Weinstein placed his hands on her at a hotel and suggested they go to a bedroom for massages. Paltrow said she told Pitt what happened and the actor confronted Weinstein at a Broadway opening. Representatives for Weinstein have yet to comment (Charles Sykes/Invision/AP) She added: “It was like the equivalent of throwing him against the wall.” Paltrow said Pitt leveraged his fame and power to protect her at a time when she had neither. The two, who were briefly engaged, broke up in 1997. Representatives for Weinstein and Pitt did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
