Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow are the latest actresses to allege they were victims of sexual harassment by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Both said the incidents happened early in their careers.
They join a string of actresses accusing Weinstein of harassment. On Tuesday he also denied allegations of rape made in The New Yorker magazine.
Weinstein's wife, designer Georgina Chapman, said on Tuesday that she was leaving him.
"My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions," the 41-year-old told People magazine. She and Weinstein, 65, have two children together.
Ex-President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have also added their voice to growing demonstrations of public outrage.
A statement released by the Obamas says they "have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein". It adds they "celebrate the courage of women who have come forward".
