Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence have spoken out against Harvey Weinstein after the Hollywood mogul used statements by both actors in an effort to dismiss a sexual misconduct lawsuit against him.
Streep, who has collaborated with Weinstein on a number of films, responded to the motion in a statement issued to the Hollywood Reporter.
The plaintiffs allege that, due to the high number of women who have claimed misconduct by Weinstein, the producer’s “sexual enterprise” should be considered an organised crime group.
Weinstein has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 75 women.
