Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow say Harvey Weinstein harassed them

Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie are coming forward with sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein.

In part two of the New York Times' explosive expose - following Oct 5's bombshell report chronicling decades of sexual harassment allegations waged against the studio mogul - the actresses went public with their stories for the first time on Tuesday (Oct 10).

"I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified," Paltrow said about her experience as a then 22-year-old on the set of 1996's Emma.

Jolie recalled a similar incident. "I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did," Jolie said in an e-mail to the Times.

"This behaviour towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable."
