CAA Argues Julia Ormond Knew of Weinstein’s Abusive Behavior and Agents Did Not
CAA argues Julia Ormond knew about Harvey Weinstein's behavior before becoming a client, undercutting her claim that the agency failed to warn her.
“CAA’s spiteful and meritless effort to derail that settlement — so it can deflect blame onto Disney and Miramax for its own failure to protect Ms. Ormond — will not succeed. Ormond has admitted that before she became a CAA client, she had a preexisting business relationship with Harvey Weinstein and had been subject to a pattern of his sexual harassment and misconduct,” a spokesperson said. “Marmont warned her that Weinstein may hit on her and that, if he did, Plaintiff should be careful about how she dealt with it because he was a powerful man,” wrote CAA’s lawyers, again drawing from Ormond’s testimony.
