Jennifer Aniston accused the film mogul Harvey Weinstein of pressuring her to wear a dress designed by Marchesa, his ex-wife Georgina Chapman’s fashion label.

Aniston claimed in an interview for Variety’s Power of Women issue that after Chapman started her clothing line, Marchesa, Weinstein came to visit her in London while they were was shooting The Weinstein Company’s neo-noir crime thriller Derailed, released in November 2005.

According to Jennifer, Weinstein asked her to wear one of Chapman’s Marchesa dresses to the movie premiere. Aniston said she told Weinstein she did not want to wear the dress. She felt bullied because it appeared that Weinstein was trying to force her to wear the Marchesa dress.

Many actresses came forward after The New York Times and The New Yorker published articles in 2017 detailing allegations of sexual misconduct against Weinstein. Actresses who have accused him of sexual harassment include Asia Argento, Cate Blanchett, Ashley Judd, and Rose McGowan. He is reportedly set to go on trial in January 2020 for charges of rape, predatory sexual assault, and criminal sexual act.
