According to the New York Times, the disgraced film mogul’s lawyers agreed a proposed $44m settlement with his accusers, as well as the creditors of his former studio The Weinstein Company (TWC) and the New York attorney general.
The settlement with the New York attorney general relates to its 2018 lawsuit against Weinstein and his brother and business partner Bob Weinstein, for the violation of state and city laws on sexual harassment, sexual abuse and coercion, as well as gender discrimination.
Harvey Weinstein has reached a tentative multi-million dollar settlement with women who accused him of sexual assault.
The settlement does not exempt Weinstein from the criminal proceedings brought against him for sexual assault, which he will go on trial for in September.
