Matt Damon admitted he was aware that Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed Gwyneth Paltrow years ago, calling the fallen film mogul an “a–hole” and “womanizer.”
Damon, who co-starred in the Weinstein-produced “The Talented Mr. Ripley” in 1999 with Paltrow, said he learned of her allegations through his friend Ben Affleck.
“I knew the story about Gwyneth from Ben because he was with her after Brad [Pitt], so I knew that story,” Damon said Monday on ABC News. “I never talked to Gwyneth about it, Ben told me. But I knew that they had come to whatever, you know, agreement or understanding that they had come to, she had handled it. She was, you know, the first lady of Miramax. And he treated her incredibly respectfully.”
Weinstein, who back then headed Miramax Films, was proud of his bad-boy rap in Hollywood.
“So people say, ‘everybody knew,’ like, yeah I knew,” Damon explained. “I knew he was an a–hole, he was proud of that. That’s how he carried himself. I knew he was a womanizer. I wouldn’t want to be married to the guy.”
