Jennifer Aniston has spoken out about the demands that Harvey Weinstein made, when she worked with him.
The 50-year-old former Friends star said the once powerful movie mogul tried to force her to wear a dress from a clothing line owned by his then-wife.
Jennifer was working with Weinstein on the 2005 thriller Derailed and she told how he tried to force her to wear a dress from Marchesa, the fashion line founded by British designer Georgina Chapman, the now ex-wife of Weinstein.
Speaking to Variety, Jennifer said: “I remember, right when Georgina’s clothing line Marchesa was starting.
“That’s when he came to visit me in London while we were shooting. He’d be like, ‘OK, so I’d like you to wear one of these to the premiere’.”

Jennifer said this was one of the rare instances she had been bullied in her life.
She continued: “And I went through the book, and at the time, it wasn’t what it is today. It was not for me.
“He was like, ‘You have to wear the dress.’ That was my only bullying. And I was like, ‘No, I will not wear the dress.”‘

Jennifer said Weinstein “knew better” than to force her to wear the dress.
“Well, what was he going to do? Come over here and make me wear it?”, she added.
Weinstein, who was one of the most powerful men in Hollywood for more than two decades, has been accused by dozens of women of sexual assault.

Jennifer is now starring alongside Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell in Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show, which deals with the fallout from a high-profile entertainment figure being brought down by allegations of sexual misconduct.
The show was conceived before Weinstein’s downfall in October 2017 but its plot was altered after the #MeToo movement sent shockwaves through the industry.
Weinstein denies all allegations of non-consensual sex and is awaiting trial in New York for rape charges.
