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.
