Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein has sensationally confessed to making a pass at Gwyneth Paltrow during a deposition, although he claims he later apologized to her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
The confirmation came in a deposition transcript obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com from actress Julia Ormond’s lawsuit against Weinstein, 73, and Hollywood powerhouse CAA, as she claims the agency failed to warn her about his history of sexual misconduct before she was allegedly assaulted during a meeting with the former Miramax chief.
Although Weinstein admitted to hitting on Paltrow, 52, he claimed that he “apologized on the spot.”
When asked if he’d apologized to the Oscar winner since that time, Weinstein huffed: “I never had a reason to apologize to her. She knows how I … she knows how I felt. I told her I apologized and apologized to Brad Pitt.”
The former movie producer was then questioned about if Paltrow ever told her agents at CAA about the incident. He responded: “I do not recall. But I will tell you one thing. CAA is not shy. If they told her, CAA would have called me and reprimanded me immediately. And the same is true for Ms. Ormond.”
Paltrow and Pitt, 61, began dating in 1994 after falling in love on the set of the thriller Se7en. They got engaged in 1996 and broke up the following year.
