Gwyneth Paltrow Talks Dumping Ben Affleck-Protection From Harvey Weinstein!

Gwyneth Paltrow spilled a lot of tea to Howard Stern on Wednesday — some of which had been simmering for decades! 

In a wide-ranging conversation about the loves of her life, Gwyn talked about knowing Ben Affleck wasn't The One, not having kids with fiancé Brad Falchuk, and Brad Pitt threatening Harvey Weinstein for her.

Oh, and smoking a little weed as well… 

Ch-ch-check out the best bits (below)!

On What Ben Affleck Was To Her

"It's interesting, I think there's certain boyfriends where you are trying to work stuff out, right? Like, you're trying to heal certain stuff from your childhood and he was very much a lesson in that way.

I'm not sure exactly what I was trying to heal in that instance, but it was…he was, you know, it was specific."

On Her Future With Brad Falchuk

"Neither of us want more kids… We're on the same team."

It sounds like the couple are getting along great!

On Which A-Listers She Hangs With (And Which Ones Smoke Weed)

When Howard asks if Gwyneth smokes weed, she says:

"Sometimes. It's legal now in California." 

She also says Kate Hudson doesn't smoke right now "because she's pregnant." But there's a bit of a no comment vibe to some of her other answers…

On The Brad Pitt/Harvey Weinstein Incident 

"We had one instance in a hotel room where he tried to- where he made a pass at me. And then I really kind of stood up to him."

She says unlike some women's experiences we've heard he was "fully clothed" — but she was alone with him, and it completely "blindsided" her my trying to get her into a massage.

She says she told Brad right away because she was "very shaken" — and already "afraid" for her career as she was already signed for two more movies with Miramax. But shortly after Brad changed things when the couple went to see a production of Hamlet:

"Harvey was there, and Brad Pitt, it was like the equivalent of throwing him against the wall, you know, energetically… He said 'If you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I'll kill you.' Or something like that. It was great"

She says the move took the heat off of her: 

"It was so fantastic because what he did was he leveraged his fame and power to protect me at a time when I didn't have fame or power yet."
