Jon Voight didn't know daughter Angelina Jolie was one of Harvey Weinstein's alleged victims

Jon Voight acknowledged this week that until she publicly came forward, he had no idea that daughter Angelina Jolie was an alleged victim of Harvey Weinstein in the 1990s.

A paparazzo at LAX asked the actor if he had known about his daughter's negative encounter with Weinstein, to which Voight replied, "No, I did not."

He declined to comment further except to add, "Angie's spoken about that and that's it."

Jolie revealed to the New York Times in October that she had a "bad experience" with Weinstein in the late 1990s. At the time, she was in her early 20s, and Weinstein was an executive producer on her 1998 film "Playing By Heart."

"I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did," she said. She did not elaborate on what transpired between her and Harvey.

Voight separated from Jolie's mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, in 1978. For the subsequent decades, he famously had an on-and-off relationship with his daughter, at times fully estranged, even as she followed in the family's Hollywood footsteps.

The two seemed to have a comfortable relationship in the late 1990s and early 2000s -- in fact, Voight attended the "Playing by Heart" premiere, not knowing about the preceding incident with Weinstein -- but things then soured again.

However, after Bertrand's 2007 death of ovarian cancer, Jolie and Voight decided it was time to build a relationship. He is now an active part of her and her grandchildren's lives, even allowing a photo op with the kids at one of Jolie's recent premieres.
