Sharing new details about the night, Paltrow told , Pitt had "energetically" thrown Weinstein against the wall and told him: "If you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I'll kill you".

Gwyneth, who dated Brad from 1994 to 1997, added: “It was so fantastic. He leveraged his fame and power to protect me at a time when I didn’t have fame or power yet.”

Paltrow first opened up about her experience in an article with the New York Times - adding her name to the list of women who have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment.

She told Howard it was a "big decision" to go public with her allegation that he asked her for a massage in her hotel room when she was 22 and playing the lead role in the Jane Austen adaptation Emma.

Paltrow said: “It was out of the blue and I’ll tell you, I had been having the most incredible experience at Miramax... I was blindsided.”

She added that after the film producer was threatened by her boyfriend he was "never inappropriate with me again" but admitted it left their professional relationship "pretty fraught".
