Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has reached a tentative $44m deal to resolve several lawsuits and compensate women who have accused him of sexual misconduct, according to reports.
It comes more than a year and a half after accusations of sexual misconduct by Weinstein first became public, in October 2017 in the New York Times.
More than 15 lawsuits have been filed accusing Weinstein or his company, the Weinstein Co, of misconduct.
The Weinstein case was instrumental in launching the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements, which have led to dozens of powerful men in entertainment, politics and other fields being accused of sexual misconduct.
