Harvey Weinstein Proposed $25M Settlement “Appaling,” Says Lawyer; Producer Could Get Millions Intended For Victims
and other members of the now bankrupt Weinstein Company board, with all present and potentially future claims against them ended.
“It is an appalling way to treat rape victims and anyone involved in negotiating or approving that provision should be ashamed,” attorney Kevin Mintzer stated emphatically to Deadline of the possibility of millions going to Weinstein from a settlement intended to address his alleged vile behavior. Mintzer and his partner Douglas Wigdor represent Wedil David and a Jane Doe who was previously part of the class action with Louisette Geiss.
In an additional understanding with New York Attorney General Letitia James, a further $18 million in the proposed settlement would be carved up for the lawsuit instigated by her predecessor Eric Schneiderman, who resigned in mid-2018 as his personal peccadillos became public fodder, plus another class action and possible claims to come. The remainder of the overall $47 million is ear marked for other obligations of the now sold off TWC.
