Harvey Weinstein’s ‘Roughness’ Forced Gwyneth Paltrow To Quit Acting Career
Gwyneth Paltrow has been out of the acting limelight for a little while now while she focuses on her brand Goop, but the hollywood megastar recently revealed that disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was also part of that decision.
“And, and again, like this wasn’t conscious at the time, but I started to feel, and, you know, frankly, I think part of my, part of the shine of acting wore off, you know, being in such intense public scrutiny, being a kid who’s like living every breakup on every headline,” Paltrow, 48, said while appearing on SiriusXM’s “Quarantined with Bruce.”
“So if you compound those things with the fact that like, you know, to be totally candid, I had a really rough boss for most of my movie career at Miramax,” she added.
Miramax was founded by Weinstein and his brother in 1979.
Paltrow, previously spoke on the disgraced mogul sexually harassing her in a hotel room. He has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for various sex crimes.
“What I say is Goop is my full-time passion, and being the founder and CEO of Goop is what I do all day every day, and occasionally when something is the right thing and it works out around my children and my Goop life, I’m able to participate,” she previously said on the “Today” show. “I think I’m just not focused on full-time acting right now.”
