California’s Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Ashley Judd can pursue a sexual harassment claim against convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein
Photo: Jared Siskin/Patrick McMullan . Per The Hollywood Reporter, the court stated that the nature of Judd and Weinstein’s relationship was “sufficient” enough to give the actress grounds to sue. In Judd’s complaint, which included stories that she first revealed to the public in October 2017, the actress alleges that Weinstein propositioned her for sex in a hotel room about 20 years ago.
The new ruling comes after Judd previously tried to sue Weinstein for harassment and defamation in 2018. However, the claim was tossed by a California federal judge in early 2019, who stated at the time that their working relationship didn’t meet the state’s legal standard for a claim.
