Harvey Weinstein is suing the company he founded in order to get access to emails he says will exonerate him over claims of sexual abuse.
Weinstein was fired by the board of the Weinstein Company on 8 October after it learned of new information regarding his conduct.
According to documents uploaded by Variety, the suit alleges that the firm has denied Weinstein access to documents that are “uniquely personal” to him.
The producer, who has been accused of either sexual assault or harassment by more than 50 women, filed a lawsuit against the Weinstein Company in Delaware chancery court on Thursday.
