Weinstein Accusers Say Insurance Settlement Is a ‘Cruel Hoax’
Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterThree women who have sued Harvey Weinstein for sexual assault argued on Monday that the proposed $46.8 million settlement is nothing more than a “cruel hoax.”Attorneys for Dominique Huett, Kaja Sokola and Wedil David filed an opposition to the deal, in which they contend that $15 million will go to Weinstein and the other directors and officers of the Weinstein Co., while the typical Weinstein accuser will receive $10,000 to $20,000.If approved, argue attorneys Douglas Wigdor and Kevin Mintzer, the deal “would result in one of the most one-sided and unfair class settlements in history.”The settlement aims to resolve most of the litigation surrounding the Weinstein Co., which declared bankruptcy in 2018.
