Their courage and the Adult Survivors Act has provided me a window of opportunity and way to shed light on how powerful people and institutions like my talent agents at CAA, Miramax and Disney enabled and provided cover for Weinstein to assault me and countless others,” she said in the statement obtained by The Post. ![]() “After living for decades with the painful memories of my experiences at the hands of Harvey Weinstein, I am humbled and grateful to all those who have risked speaking out. Ormond, for her part, said in her own statement that she is “humbled and grateful” to the women who have spoken out before her. “She feels completely betrayed by CAA for its knowing disregard for her safety and well-being, and looks forward to holding accountable the people and institutions that enabled Harvey Weinstein’s horrific and predatory behavior.” “Our client has suffered tremendously both personally and professionally due to the assault by Harvey Weinstein, and the failure from Disney, Miramax and CAA to prevent it and to appropriately respond when she reported what happened,” Ormond’s attorneys said in a statement. Ormond is coming at the two brands for negligent supervision and retention. The Walt Disney Company was the parent corporation that purchased Miramax - the film production office that Weinstein and his brother Bob founded in 1979 - in the 1990s. Ormond is suing Harvey Weinstein, the talent agency CAA, the Walt Disney Company and Miramax. The “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” star is suing the talent company for negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. The court docs state that the men advised against speaking out and did not give her their protection. Ormond then told her agents at CAA, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, about the incident that transpired. The “Sabrina” star was reportedly “lured” into a private room with Weinstein, who asked her to give him “a massage, climbed on top of her, masturbated and forced her to give him oral sex.” The disgraced movie producer - who is currently serving a 23-year sentence in jail for rape - allegedly sexually assaulted Ormond in 1995 after a business dinner. The 58-year-old will also be taking talent agency CAA, the Walt Disney Company and Miramax to court as alleged enablers of the abuse, Variety first reported.Ī lawsuit was filed on Wednesday morning in the New York Supreme Court. ![]() Talk show pioneer Phil Donahue’s former ‘Gold Coast’ mansion to be demolished after rats and raccoons take overīritish actress Julia Ormond is suing Harvey Weinstein for sexual battery, the New York Post can confirm. ![]() Gavin Newsom’s wife opens up about ‘survivor’s guilt’ after accident killed sister Jennifer Aniston is ‘so over’ cancel culture Martin Scorsese nearly stopped making films after working with Harvey Weinstein
