I think it's probable that if Weinstein said these things to Jackson, he said them to other people, taking opportunities away from her. And 1998 (when this happened) was twenty years ago, when she was 31. Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Dern are all the same age, they don't seem to have had issues getting big roles around that time and for years afterwards. Now, you could argue that they are better actors, but that is more subjective than you would think. I think Nicole Kidman is very uneven, in some things, she's good, in others, she really isn't. I think Julia Roberts is generally good, sometimes great, but sometimes only fair.

Assuming that you are correct about her acting ability, that wouldn't negate what Weinstein did. As a matter of fact, that would have just made it easier for him to derail her career. She was clearly being considered. And there are a lot of not great actors out there that have careers that have flourished by taking part in a major film or two.
