Everyone in the industry knows how she got a certain role and how she got that nomination.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Harvey Weinstein

NY POST…PAGE SIX…01/13/99

THE agents and publicists and lawyers who represent Hollywood’s hottest new hunk, Viggo Mortenson, are struggling to quash the rumor that he caused the break-up of Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck. L.A. is buzzing how Affleck was crushed when he found out his lover of the past year had been sneaking off for some horizontal mambo with her co-star from “A Perfect Murder.” Mortenson, who has split from his steady girlfriend Exene, doesn’t want to play the heavy in this script. His handlers are worried there will be a backlash if he severed one of Tinseltown’s handsomest couples. But friends of Ben believe the whispers, and are quietly saying that Gwyneth, who previously lost Brad Pitt under similar circumstances, “has a problem with monogamy.” (Hello – she wasn’t married to any of these guys.) Brad maintained a gentlemanly silence for months, but finally told Vanity Fair last fall, “You figure it out.” Now others are piling on. People still remember and share the tale of how Paltrow supposedly got the lead in “Shakespeare in Love.” According to the buzz, the screenplay had been sent to Winona Wyder when broken-hearted Gwyneth was staying with her after the Brad breakup at Winona’s Gramercy Park apartment. Gwyneth found it on the coffee table, quickly called her agent, and landed the role. Winona was so angry, she wouldn’t talk to her former friend. But Gwyneth made it up to her by setting her up with Affleck’s good buddy Matt Damon. The two are still together – unlike Gwyneth and Ben. A spokesman for Paltrow said he never comments on her personal life. A flack for Mortenson denied the affair. – Source

New Book Reveals How a ‘Nervous’ Gwyneth Paltrow Decided to Speak Out Against Harvey Weinstein

Two years after publishing the article that helped bring down Harvey Weinstein, New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey have written a book that includes more details of how the women who accused the now-disgraced movie mogul of sexual harassment, including actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Ashley Judd, decided to come forward with their stories.

In She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, out Tuesday, the reporters explain how fearful both actresses were about coming forward publicly. And in a tear-filled moment, the Shakespeare in Love star told them she was devastated that Weinstein allegedly used his connection with her as a way to coerce other women.

“She was Harvey’s biggest star. She was the golden girl of Miramax. The whole idea of conceiving of Gwyneth Paltrow as a victim was almost strange to us,” Kantor tells PEOPLE about their initial outreach to Paltrow. “But lo and behold, we got a text that she had a story and that she was willing to speak.”

Though Paltrow was “nervous” at first, she became crucial to their investigation, Kantor and Twohey explain.

“Essentially, her story is about Harvey Weinstein not only sexually harassing her, but threatening her very early in her career,” Kantor says. “If Gwyneth Paltrow is a victim, then who else is? Not only had we not expected to hear that story, but we were also very surprised by how helpful she decided to be. She was very nervous to go on the record, but she wanted to help us recruit other actresses to speak too.”- Source
