Hedge fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones took the unusual step of explaining his relationship with Harvey Weinstein, after a report indicated that Jones supported the disgraced Hollywood mogul as sexual harassment allegations unfolded earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal reports.

In a letter to employees Wednesday, Jones wrote: "Please also understand that I first learned about the revelations about Harvey only as they began to be reported in the media. They were 100% a surprise to me."
