Harvey Weinstein said Jennifer Aniston ‘should be KILLED’
Harvey Weinstein suggested that Jennifer Aniston “should be
killed” upon learning that the National Enquirer was planning to report he
sexually assaulted her, court papers revealed Tuesday.
On Oct. 31, 2017, amid the barrage of #MeToo allegations
against the disgraced movie mogul, Weinstein’s spokeswoman forwarded him an
email from the Enquirer, the records show.
“Not sure if you saw this one. Jennifer Aniston,” wrote
Sallie Hofmeister, a senior executive at the powerhouse Sitrick public
relations company.
In its email, the Enquirer said that “Jennifer confided to a
friend that during the production of the 2005 movie ‘Derailed’ Weinstein
sexually assaulted her by pressing up against her back in [sic] grabbing her
buttocks.”
The Enquirer also said, “Through the years he would
frequently stare at her cleavage/breast and move his mouth around making
Jennifer uncomfortable.”
“We also quote a source close to Jennifer who tells the
Enquirer: ‘Harvey was infatuated with Jennifer Aniston — He had a massive crush
on her and constantly talked about how hot she was,'” the message added.
About 45 minutes after receiving the email, Weinstein used
his iPhone to send Hofmeister a terse response, the records show.
“Jen Aniston should be killed,” he wrote.
The emails were among a trove of documents filed under seal
in Manhattan Supreme Court but made public ahead of Weinstein’s scheduled
sentencing Wednesday for raping a hairdresser and forcibly performing oral sex
on a former “Project Runway” production assistant.
The Enquirer never published the allegations regarding
Aniston, and a spokesman for the former “Friends” star called them “false.”
“Jennifer has never been harassed or assaulted by Harvey
Weinstein,” publicist Stephen Huvane said.
“He never got close enough to touch her and she has never
been alone with him.”
But last year, Aniston told Variety Weinstein’s “piggish
behavior” during the premiere dinner for “Derailed.”
“I remember I was sitting at the dinner table with Clive
[Owen], and our producers and a friend of mine was sitting with me,” she said.
“And he literally came to the table and said to my friend:
‘Get up!’ And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ And so my friend got up and moved and
Harvey sat down. It was just such a level of gross entitlement and piggish behavior.”
