Winfrey, 63, talked to the star for the Women in Entertainment issue. Jennifer is also receiving the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at THR’s annual Power 100 breakfast.

As far as her relationship with Harvey, the beauty said she has known his since she was 20.

‘He had only ever been nice to me — except for the moments that he wasn’t, and then I called him an a******, and we moved on,’ she began

‘He was paternal to me. So I needed a moment to process everything because I thought I knew this guy, and then he’s being accused of rape. We all knew he was a dog, we knew that he was a —’

Just then Oprah offers the word ‘brute.’

‘A tough guy, a brute, a tough guy to negotiate with. I didn’t know that he was a rapist,’ said the X-Men star.

‘And it’s so widespread, the abuse, from so many different people — it’s directors, it’s producers — that I think everybody needed to [process it]. Everybody needs to deal with this in their own way; everybody needs to heal.’

She also said hearing Harvey plead with a woman to come into his hotel room was disgusting,

‘Being able to hear when the woman wore the microphone and Harvey was telling her to watch him shower — I felt sick in my bones for an entire day,’ she said.

‘I was just sick. I was just like, “I can’t,” after hearing that. And that’s why it’s so important to talk about abuse, all of the different forms of abuse, because he didn’t lay a finger on her, and I felt chilled to my bones.
