Paltrow did tell Pitt who apparently threatened to beat Harvey up at a party. What came out of it? Paltrow became a huge star, won an Oscar and was the "it" girl in Hollywood for about a 5 year span. Pitt stood up for his girl, but ultimately it was Paltrow's call to speak out about Harvey or shut up and use Harvey to her advantage. She choose to be quiet and used him to advance her career. Wouldn't surprise me if her parents told her to be quiet being they're in the industry.
