Acclaimed actress opens up to Rolling Stone about her lawsuit accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual battery, and her agency and Disney of enabling it
— about what transpired, she’s been reluctant to come forward publicly about that horrifying night, and the deaf ears she says it fell on at CAA, until now.
The assault happened, and soon after I got word that he was going to Copenhagen early on in the shoot of. This was unusual. Harvey had never visited me on a set before. That was when I reached out to Bryan and Kevin in a panic and said, “Can you stop this?” and they said, “You have to deal with him on your own.” I wasn’t reaching out to them about the assault yet. I held Harvey to account on my own and then went about the business of the day.
CAA issued the following statement on Ormond’s suit: “CAA takes all allegations of sexual assault and abuse seriously, and has compassion for Ms. Ormond and the experience she described in her complaint. However, the claims that Ms. Ormond levied against the agency are completely without merit. Through counsel, Ms. Ormond approached CAA in March with these allegations about the agency.
There’s a pushback that’s about discrediting people, and part of it is, “Oh, this person just wants money.” I think I’ve lived a life that has made it very clear that what I want is accountability and transparency. The way that you were given opportunities and encouraged as a client to build rapport with directors and producers was to go meet them for dinner. That was proposed as something that was special: go meet them for drinks, go meet them for dinner, and we’re going to separate you so you don’t have to go sign in on an audition. It meant they were thinking of you more specifically. So, actively encouraged that.
