Matt Damon Says He Knew That Harvey Weinstein Sexually Harassed Gwyneth Paltrow
By now, we all know the sad and icky shit that was going on in NYC and Hollywood thanks to the world’s worst ass wart, Harvey Weinstein. Even Gwyneth Paltrow admitted he harassed her, and now Matt Damon has come forward saying he knew about it.
HuffPo say Matt and George Clooney were on Good Morning America today, and Matt admitted he found out about Gwyneth and Harvey through his best bro-friend Ben Affleck. As everyone knows, Ben dated Gwyneth after Brad Pitt. Gwyneth was dating Brad when Harvey allegedly creeped on her, and Brad defended her by threatening to beat Harvey. Brad’s estranged wife, Angelina Jolie, was also one of Harvey’s targets. This is getting to the point where we’re going to need a giant Venn Diagram.
Matt admits he always knew Harvey had the same personality of oozing pus since that was his shtick, but he says he didn’t know he was such a predator. Matt just thought Harvey was a cheating slut.
“You had to spend about five minutes with him to know that he was a bully and he was intimidating. That was his legend. That whole kind of M.O. When people say ‘everybody knew,’ yeah, I knew. I knew he was an asshole. 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, but it’s not my business really, but this level of criminal sexual predation was not something I ever thought was going on.”
Matt also gave his take on how Gwyneth handled the matter on her own:
“I knew the story about Gwyneth [Paltrow] from Ben [Affleck], because he was with her after Brad [Pitt], so I knew that story. But I was working with Gwyneth with Harvey on ‘Ripley.’ I never talked to Gwyneth about it. Ben told me. I knew that they had come to whatever agreement or understanding that they had come to. She had handled it and she was the first lady of Miramax. He treated her incredibly respectfully. Always.”
I’m sure the team at GOOP was ready to send Matt over a basket of organic bird seed snacks….until he used the term Maureen Dowd used in her article that kind of slammed Gwyneth for continuing to work with Harvey. I’m talking about the term “First Lady of Miramax” and that’s what led to Blythe Danner slapping at Maureen Dowd in an op-ed piece. So I better run to the concession stand right now and quickly get some popcorn, because I want to be sitting in the front row when Blythe slaps Matt Damon down.
