Angelina Jolie Admits She “Fought” With Brad Pitt Over Working With Harvey Weinstein

Years after Angelina Jolie was allegedly abused by Weinstein during the 1998 film Playing by Heart, she is decidedly calling out Brad Pitt for continuing to work with him despite knowing that the man hurt her when she was just 21.

“If you get yourself out of the room, you think he attempted, but didn’t, right? The truth is that the attempt and the experience of the attempt is an assault,” Jolie said, adding: “It was beyond a pass, it was something I had to escape.”

She admitted that she talked with her ex-husband Johnny Lee Miller, now 48, about it at the time. “I stayed away and warned people about him,” she recalled. “I remember telling Jonny, my first husband, who was great about it, to spread the word to other guys – don’t let girls go alone with him.”

Jolie also revealed that she fought with Brad Pitt, 57, when he starred in Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 film Inglourious Basterds, which was co-produced by the Weinstein Company.

Pitt and Tarantino teamed up again a decade later for 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. However, Weinstein was not involved in the project.

She revealed that Pitt approached Weinstein to produce his 2012 film Killing Them Softly, which was also distributed by the Weinstein Company.

“I was asked to do The Aviator, but I said no because [Weinstein] was involved. I never associated or worked with him again. It was hard for me when Brad did,” Jolie said. “We fought about it. Of course it hurt.”
