Ormond joins more than 80 women who have accused Weinstein, who is currently serving a prison sentence, of sexual misconduct.
Topline
English actress Julia Ormond sued convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein of sexual battery Wednesday and accused the Creative Artists Agency, Disney and Miramax of enabling Weinstein’s sexual misconduct—the subject of numerous allegations and multiple convictions that will likely see the disgraced producer serve the rest of his life in prison.Key Facts
Ormond’s lawsuit, filed in New York, says Weinstein forced her to strip naked and perform oral sex on him after a business dinner—one that Ormond said she went to in order to discuss a project she had been trying to get Weinstein to follow up on.
Ormond told her CAA agents, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, what Weinstein did to her, both of whom allegedly suggested Ormond would not be believed and damage her career if she reported Weinstein to the authorities.
