A federal appeals court has confirmed what actresses have been saying since the dawn of the movie industry—there is an “inherent power imbalance” in the relationship between performers and producers. The ruling allows Ashley Judd to proceed with her sexual harassment case against Harvey Weinstein, which a lower court rejected on a technicality last year, reports Bloomberg. Judd says that to escape Weinstein’s advances in a Beverly Hills hotel room in the 1990s, she promised he could “touch her’ if she won an Oscar in one of his movies.
