In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Chastain said the Hollywood producer tried to bully her into wearing a Marchesa, his soon-to-be-ex-wife Georgina Chapman's fashion label, to the premiere of her film "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby", which was distributed by The Weinstein Company.
The "Molly's Game" actor said she refused and instead wore a blue Atelier Versace gown to the event, which resulted in Weinstein mocking her in front of the audience.
"He actually told the audience, 'If I had to get in a boxing ring with Muhammad Ali or Jessica Chastain, I would choose Muhammad Ali,'" Chastain said.
