Harvey Weinstein said Jennifer Aniston 'should be killed' after grope accusation - Daily Record

Harvey Weinstein said Jennifer Aniston “should be killed” for seemingly accusing him of groping her.

He made the comment to his spokeswoman who sent him a message from a US tabloid magazine detailing an allegation.

The email from the National Enquirer said: “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.”

Weinstein’s written reply to his spokeswoman said: “Jen Aniston should be killed.”

The messages, which came in 2017 amid a barrage of sex assault allegations against him, emerged in more than 1,000 court documents released ahead of Weinstein’s sentencing today for rape.

In response to the disclosure, Jennifer’s publicist denied the disgraced movie mogul ever assaulted her.

Stephen Huvane said: “He never got close enough to her to touch her. She has never been alone with him.

“We have no idea about the email since it wasn’t sent to us.”

Jennifer, 51, said last year that Weinstein visited her in London when she was shooting the film and that he was extremely rude to a friend of hers.

She added he tried to force her to wear a dress from Marchesa – the fashion brand founded by his then-wife Georgina Chapman, 43 – at the premiere.

Jennifer said: “He was like, ‘You have to wear the dress’. That was my only bullying. I was like, ‘No, I will not wear the dress’.”

The newly released documents also show that Weinstein’s brother Bob, 65, sent him an email in 2017 saying: “I pray there is a real hell. That’s where u belong.”

Bob, who co-founded film company Miramax with Weinstein, added: “U deserve a lifetime achievement award for... savagery... for the acts u have perpetrated.”

The documents also revealed how Weinstein said that year that he was suicidal.

Weinstein, 67, was last month found guilty in New York of third-degree rape and a first-degree criminal sex act.

The American’s legal team has pleaded with a judge to sentence him to the mandatory minimum of five years in jail.
