Harvey Weinstein Reached $25 million Settlement Accusers

Harvey Weinstein has reportedly reached a $25 million settlement with his sexual misconduct accusers.

The disgraced producer appeared in court in New York City on Wednesday for a hearing on his criminal sexual assault case. The lawsuit was filed after he was accused by dozens of women of sexual misconduct. Read on for more details on Harvey Weinstein settlement…

CelebNMovies247.com has the latest report on Harvey Weinstein which the New York Times reports that a deal has been made between Weinstein, his former film company, and his accusers.

The news outlet reports the terms of this deal states Harvey Weinstein, who has denied all allegations against him, would not have to admit he did anything wrong or pay the money himself.

NO Weinstein doesn’t have to flip the bill. Instead, it will be by insurance companies that represent The Weinstein Company, which filed for bankruptcy in 2018.

While many of you are like WTF?

The settlement still needs to be accepted by the courts, but has reportedly gotten ”preliminary approval”.

Attorneys Douglas H. Wigdor and Kevin Mintzer, who represent two of Weinstein’s accusers have slammed the deal, calling it ”shameful.”

They said in a statement:

We reject the notion that this was the best settlement that could have been achieved on behalf of the victims. It is shameful that $12 million of the settlement is going to the lawyers for the directors who we alleged enabled Harvey Weinstein and it is even more outrageous that the proposed settlement will seek to bind non participating members by providing a release to the insurance companies and the directors of the Weinstein Company itself.

While we don’t begrudge victims who want to settle, we plan to vigorously object to any provision that tries to bind victims who want to proceed with holding Harvey Weinstein accountable for his actions which is exactly what we intend to do.

Meanwhile, Weinstein is also set to appear in court on January 6 on a separate sexual assault and rape trial.

He is facing five charges, including two counts of predatory sexual assault, a criminal sexual act, rape in the first degree and rape in the third degree, which have been brought against him by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.

He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Don’t you find it interesting how men who have lots of money and power get off scot-free and it doesn’t put a dent in their wallet?

Harvey Weinstein is net worth has been estimated to be between $240 million and $300 million.
