Harvey Weinstein About to be Socked With Sexual Harassment Claims
This guy? A sexual harasser?
I just don't see it.
Story at Variety.
Harvey Weinstein has hired a high-powered team of attorneys to push back on soon-to-be-published bombshell stories from the New York Times and the New Yorker detailing sexual allegations and improper workplace behavior against him. Some women making the charges are believed to be on-the-record.
Weinstein has retained star litigator David Boies, as well as attorneys Lisa Bloom and Charles Harder in an effort to rebut the claims. Jodi Kantor, an investigative reporter who wrote about harsh working conditions at Amazon, is working on the story for the Times, along with Megan Twohey. Ronan Farrow, the former MSNBC host, is doing the story for the New Yorker, according to multiple individuals with knowledge of the situation. One individual said Farrow had shopped the story for awhile including to NBC.
In a brief interview on Wednesday, Weinstein declined to comment on the charges.
He's also said to be hiring Lanny Davis to craft a PR defense. David Boies was Gore's lawyer in the 2000 recount.
They stick together, don't they?
