Harvey Weinstein was sentenced for his convictions of rape and criminal sex acts in a New York City courtroom in 2020. Over 80 women, including many in the entertainment industry, have come forward with accusations of sexual assault and harassment against the disgraced producer. Harvey was sentenced to 23 years in jail for his crimes.
Just before his sentencing, a new name connected to Harvey's twisted acts emerged, and it was a familiar one. Unsealed court documents revealed that Jennifer Aniston was the subject of correspondence between Harvey and the National Enquirer.
A representative for the tabloid reached out to Harvey in October 2017 with an alleged story involving the two. The tabloid purported that a friend close to Jennifer revealed she was among the many sexually assaulted by Harvey.
"Jennifer confided to a friend during the production of a 2005 movie Derailed Weinstein sexually assaulted her by pressing up against her and grabbing her buttocks," the National Enquirer wrote in an email seeking comment from Harvey.
While no response to this initial email was found, another email between Harvey and Miami New Times features harrowing commentary on the subject. "Jen Aniston should be killed," he wrote.

A representative for Jennifer came out to clarify that the story was untrue from the start. "The National Enquirer claims are false. Jennifer has not been harassed or assaulted by Harvey," Stephen Huvane told Variety.
