Despite an impressive filmography, Gwyneth Paltrow grew tired of Hollywood fairly early in her career. “Part of the shine of acting wore off, you know, being in such intense public scrutiny … being criticized for everything you do, say and wear,” the “Emma” star said while appearing on “Quarantined with Bruce” on SiriusXM in 2020. Even though she had a successful career, Paltrow has a lot of negative memories about her time in Tinsel Town. “You know, to be totally candid, I had a really rough boss for most of my movie career at Miramax,” she said, referring to working with disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein.
Paltrow was among a number of actors — including Angelina Jolie — who came forward to The New York Times in 2017 about how Weinstein had allegedly harassed them. She recalled a meeting with Weinstein where he invited her to his bedroom, and tried to give her a massage. Years earlier, in 2010, Paltrow had spoken about an uncomfortable encounter with a movie executive — although she did not use any names at the time. “When I was just starting out, someone suggested that we finish a meeting in the bedroom, she told Elle (via the Huffington Post). “I left. I was pretty shocked.”
