Matt Damon on Harvey Weinstein: 'I knew he was an a--hole'

“You had to spend five minutes with him to know he was a bully, he was intimidating.

That was his legend.

That was his whole M.O.

Could you survive a meeting with Harvey?

Could you stand up for yourself with Harvey?”

“When people say everybody knew, yeah, I knew he was an ahole.

He was proud of that.

That’s how he carried himself,” Damon said.

“I knew he was a womanizer.

I wouldn’t want to be married to the guy, but that’s not my business, really.

But this level of criminal sexual predation is not something that I ever thought was going on.

More than 40 women have come forward to accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct, including actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

TheShakespeare in Lovestar alleged Weinstein"tried to massage her,“per theNew York Times.

According to Paltrow, her then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt, confronted Weinstein shortly after the alleged incident.

I never talked to Gwyneth about it.

She had handled it.

She was the First Lady of Miramax, and he treated her incredibly respectfully.

Then I’m sorry.”

I didn’t really think that they were going have affairs with Harvey, quite honestly.

And clearly, they didn’t.”

And the fact that the story is coming out now?

The more it comes out?

I want to know all of it."

Through his representative, he has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.
