Julia Ormond Can Sue Disney and CAA for Failing to Protect Her From Harvey Weinstein
A judge on Monday denied motions to dismiss Julia Ormond's lawsuit against CAA and Disney, which claims they enabled Harvey Weinstein to assault her.
Suzanne J. Adams, a state court justice in Manhattan, denied the companies’ motions to dismiss the lawsuit, which claims that the entertainment conglomerate and the agency enabled Weinstein’s predatory behavior because he “made them too much money.” The British actress rose to stardom in the mid-90s with lead roles in “Sabrina” and “Legends of the Fall.” She alleges that after the assault, her CAA agents, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, discouraged her from reporting the incident because it would damage her career, and she would not be believed. In its motion to throw out the suit, CAA argued that Ormond was suing “the wrong defendant,” and that the agency “had no reason to believe there was any risk to Plaintiff in arranging a business dinner with Weinstein.”
