CAA and Disney have filed motions to dismiss lawsuits filed against them by Julia Ormond, who has accused Harvey Weinstein of sexually assaulting her in 1995 and the two companies of enabling his abuse.
In the lawsuit filed in October, Ormond accused CAA, which represented her at the time of the alleged assault, and Disney, which owned Weinstein’s film company Miramax, of failing to warn her of the convicted producer’s history of abuse because he was “too important, too powerful and made them too much money.”
To support their argument, Ormand’s attorney’s cited a 2017 New York Times article which reported that actress Mia Kershner warned her CAA agents after Weinstein sexually propositioned her in a hotel room in 1994.
