The suit for battery (against Weinstein), negligent supervision and retention (against Miramax and Disney), negligence (CAA), breach of fiduciary duty (against CAA), also claims Weinstein retaliated and Miramax terminated Ormond’s contract ceasing commitments to the projects in development, and that CAA transferred her to a younger, inexperienced agent, and no longer was working on her behalf, significantly lessening and changing their representation of her.
“After living for decades with the painful memories of my experiences at the hands of Harvey Weinstein, I am humbled and grateful to all those who have risked speaking out,” Ormand said today in a statement from her lawyers. “Their courage and the Adult Survivors Act has provided me a window of opportunity
