Harvey Weinstein has argued that he was a “pioneer” when it came to championing female directors and actors.
Weinstein also referenced the salaries he paid female actors like Gwyneth Paltrow to prove his feminist credentials.
“I made more movies directed by women and about women than any filmmaker, and I’m talking about 30 years ago,” Weinstein told Page Six.
Last week, a lawyer revealed that a $25m (£19m) settlement had been reached for more than two dozen actors and former employees who claim Weinstein sexually harassed them.
