News summary

A New York Supreme Court judge has denied motions by CAA, Disney, and Miramax to dismiss actress Julia Ormond's lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein, which alleges sexual assault dating back to 1995. The suit claims that CAA failed to protect Ormond by not warning her about Weinstein's history of sexual misconduct and discouraging her from reporting the assault. The judge's ruling allows the case to proceed to discovery, with Ormond's attorneys asserting that the powerful Hollywood companies enabled Weinstein's predatory behavior. Ormond alleges that after the assault, her agents advised her against reporting it, claiming it would harm her career. The defendants have denied any knowledge of Weinstein's actions and have stated that Ormond is suing the wrong parties. The trial date is yet to be set, but the case represents a significant challenge for the entertainment industry regarding accountability for past misdeeds.
