'Of course it hurt': Angelina Jolie fought with Brad Pitt when he worked with Harvey Weinstein

Angelina Jolie has claimed she and her ex-husband Brad Pitt "fought" over his involvement with Harvey Weinstein during their marriage.

The 46-year-old actress previously revealed she had a "bad experience" with the disgraced movie mogul - who was accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women - when he was an executive producer on her 1998 movie Playing By Heart.

And when asked by The Guardian newspaper to share the "first time she felt sufficiently disrespected in the industry to tell somebody to f*** off."

She replied: "Erm… well, no surprise, Harvey Weinstein. I worked with him when I was young."

The Tourist star - who has six children with Brad - described her encounter with Weinstein as "beyond a pass" that she "had to escape".

She continued: "If you get yourself out of the room, you think he attempted but didn't, right? The truth is that the attempt and the experience of the attempt is an assault."

Angelina refused to work with or be associated with him again, but as for Brad, 57, he went on to star in The Weinstein Company's 2009 film Inglourious Basterds and 2012's Killing Them Softly, which "hurt" Angelina and led to the pair rowing.

The Salt actress said: "It was beyond a pass, it was something I had to escape. I stayed away and warned people about him. I remember telling Jonny [Lee Miller], my first husband, who was great about it, to spread the word to other guys - don't let girls go alone with him.

"I was asked to do The Aviator, but I said no because he was involved. I never associated or worked with him again. It was hard for me when Brad did."

On her arguments with the Fight Club star - who she divorced in 2019 - she added: "We fought about it. Of course it hurt."
