Harvey Weinstein Denies Sexual Harassment, Admits Pass at Gwyneth Paltrow in Prison Interview

Harvey Weinstein, currently serving a 23-year prison sentence for rape and sexual assault, has given an unprecedented interview from behind bars in which he denies committing the crimes he was convicted of, but admits to "making a pass" at Gwyneth Paltrow. Weinstein refutes Paltrow's allegations that he sexually harassed her in a hotel room in 1996, insisting he never touched her despite acknowledging his attempt to initiate a sexual advance. He also admitted to paying Rose McGowan $100,000 in a settlement to keep certain matters private, though he insists it was a mutual agreement and not an admission of guilt. Throughout the interview, Weinstein maintains that the accusations against him, including those from Ashley Judd and others, are fabrications and part of a broader persecution against him. The interview, conducted by conservative commentator Candace Owens, marks Weinstein's first on-camera remarks since his arrest seven years ago and reveals his perspective on the high-profile allegations that fueled the #MeToo movement. Despite his denials, the weight of these accusations and his conviction have cemented Weinstein as a symbol of sexual misconduct in Hollywood.
