"I knew Harvey and I knew him well and worked with him, and I had none of that experience — very fortunately for me," Dench said, referencing the dozens of women who have brought allegations of sexual misconduct against Weinstein over the years.

Judi Dench has an unpopular opinion about Harvey Weinstein. The “Notes on a Scandal” actress, 90, defended the disgraced movie producer, 73, following his rape and sexual assault convictions in a new interview with The Radio Times.

Judi Dench is weighing in on Harvey Weinstein's fall from grace in the wake of widespread accusations of sexual misconduct.

Dame Judi Dench has spoken about Harvey Weinstein in the context of "forgiveness" following his rape and sexual assault convictions.

The disgraced producer wrote in response to Dench's comments, "I am grateful for the kind words that have been expressed."

She’s also claimed that her then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt, confronted Weinstein over the incident and told him to never touch Paltrow again. Weinstein has since admitted that he “definitely made a pass” at Paltrow, describing it as a one-time, almost harmless gesture.

More than a year after signaling her retirement, Judi Dench, now 91, has just made a rather sensational media comeback. In an interview with Radio Times magazine, the British actor suggested that disgraced Hollywood mogul and convicted felon Harvey Weinstein has “done his time,” noting that “forgiveness” is “personal” to her.

Judi Dench is facing public outrage for supportive comments she made about disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who’s currently serving out a 16-year prison sentence for rape and sexual assault convictions.

Dame Judi Dench has said she imagines Harvey Weinstein has “done his time”. The Academy Award-winning actress, who will celebrate her 91st birthday on Tuesday, made the comments about the disgraced Hollywood movie mogul while speaking about forgiveness as a central tenet of her Quaker faith.

“I imagine he’s done his time,” the 90-year-old British actress told Radio Times magazine, speaking about Weinstein, 73, who is actually far from having “done his time” after he was sentenced to 39 years in prison on two separate sexual assault convictions in New York and Los Angeles.

The 55-year-old actress - who previously claimed the disgraced film producer tried to fire her from Good Will Hunting because she wasn't "sexy" - is "glad" Weinstein is now in prison, where he is serving a 16-year sentence after he was found guilty of several counts of sexual assault in 2022.
