Actress Julia Ormond has recently filed a lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein on charges of s*xual assault that happened in 1995. Ormond is known for her appearances in films like Legends of the Fall and The Barber of Siberia, and her net worth is $5 million.
People magazine stated that the lawsuit was filed at the New York State Supreme Court on October 4, 2023. The lawsuit revealed everything that happened with Ormond several years ago.
The suit says that Ormond met Weinstein at a business dinner where they were supposed to finalize a project featuring Ormond. However, Weinstein told her that he would like to speak to her at her apartment, and following Weinstein's arrival, he reportedly told Ormond to perform oral s*x on him.
Variety states that Julia immediately spoke about the incident to her agents, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, but they did not allow her to take any action.
The lawsuit is seeking damages from Creative Artists Agency, Miramax, and Disney for their negligence. It revealed that all three companies were well aware of Weinstein's controversial history but did not consider warning Julia about it.
