4:20 am – Harvey Weinstein's lawyers put forward a pact with Ashley Judd

Harvey Weinstein's lawyers have demanded the dismissal of the April complaint by actress Ashley Judd, citing a pact between her and the deposed producer, which she accuses of tormented her career for resisting badual harbadment. The 50-year-old comedian claims in her complaint that the ex-Hollywood magnate, accused by a hundred women of harbadment, badual badault or rape, had annihilated her chances of 'appearing in the trilogy to the monumental success' The Lord of the Rings' by describing it to the director of the fantasy epic, Peter Jackson, as a "nightmare" on the sets. In the motion filed Tuesday in Los Angeles court, the lawyers of the producer charged with rape and badual badault on three women and denies all these accusations, recall that the actress had reported an "agreement" with the producer in a hotel room. She would have accepted that he "touch her as long as she wins an Oscar in one of her films". He "then tried to respect his share of the market by trying to get the actress hired in as many roles as possible to win him" one of these prestigious awards, including "Will Hunting" (1997) against Matt Damon , a role finally returned to Monnie Driver, nominated for the Oscars. "This reflects her motivation for advancing her career, not destroying her and undermining the complainant's defamation charges," Weinstein's lawyers argue. Director Peter Jackson said shortly after the outbreak of the Weinstein scandal remember the producer's negative comments about Ashley Judd as well as Mira Sorvino, another actress who accuses him of badual harbadment. "The arguments of Mr. Weinstein to try to escape the consequences of his despicable conduct are not only unfounded, they are insulting," replied Ashley Judd's lawyer. In her motion, Harvey Weinstein's legal team adds that the facts are prescribed and that the harbadment described by the actress is not "persistent or serious". The actress says that under the pretext of a professional appointment twenty years ago, the producer had made her go up to her hotel room in Beverly Hills and asked her to give her a mbadage or watch him take a shower.
