Women victims of harassment by producer Harvey Weinstein will receive a total compensation of $ 19 million, CNN reported. Compensation will go to women who have experienced gender discrimination and harassment while working for The Weinstein Company. A special fund has been created for payments.
"Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company let their employees down. After all the harassment, threats and discrimination, they finally achieved some justice," said New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
Compensation will go to women who have experienced gender discrimination and harassment while working for The Weinstein Company. A special fund has been created for payments. Women who signed a nondisclosure document in connection with the Harvey Weinstein case will be exempted from its action and will be able to release their story. The compensation agreement must be approved by the district court as well as the bankruptcy court of The Weinstein Company.
The attorney general called the agreement "a victory for every woman who has been sexually harassed, discriminated against, intimidated or harassed by her employer." However, lawyers for several of Harvey Weinstein's alleged victims, Douglas H. Wigdor and Kevin Mintzer, said they viewed the agreement as deeply unfair as it partially exempts Weinstein from responsibility for his actions. They intend to object to such a decision in court.
Weinstein's civil lawyer, Imran Ansari, told CNN that Weinstein remains focused on resolving remaining legal issues, including appeals against his conviction, civil lawsuits, and the charges brought against him in Los Angeles.
