Jacki Weaver has opened up about her experience with disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, claiming his "fairly horrid" reputation had been well known when she worked with him in 2012.
Weinstein was a producer on Silver Linings Playbook in which Weaver starred and would later go on to earn an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.
Weaver told Andrew Denton's Interview she "knew him well" after working together on the acclaimed film, which was released five years before the first allegations of sexual misconduct against Weinstein would be published.
"He never came onto me, I'm too old!" Weaver said with a laugh.
"But I believe all the girls that have talked about him … he'd had that rep for years, but we used to kind of say that's the way it goes. And that's a great thing now, you don't have to say that's the way it goes."
