Weinstein, a convicted sex offender, co-founded Miramax in 1979 with his brother, and Harvey remained in charge until 2005 when he left to found the film studio The Weinstein Company.
During Weinstein‘s time at the head of Miramax, Paltrow appeared in “Emma” and won an Oscar for Best Actress in 1999 for her part in “Shakespeare in Love.”
She has previously spoken about how she was allegedly sexually harassed by the disgraced movie mogul in a hotel room.
“I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,” the actress told the New York Times in a 2017 piece.
Her story appeared in the Times article and was followed by numerous sexual misconduct and sexual assault allegations against him from others stars like Angelina Jolie, Ashley Judd and more, which sparked the #MeToo movement.
As previously reported, Weinstein is currently behind bars serving a 23-year sentence after being convicted of sexual assault and third-degree rape, per Page Six.
