Harvey Weinstein and his former film production company are facing a class-action lawsuit from six women, who are seeking to represent “hundreds” of other women allegedly victimized by the disgraced movie producer.
Louisette Geiss also alleged that Weinstein assaulted and threatened her when she meet with Weinstein to pitch him a script.
The suit said she was meeting with Weinstein to discuss changes to a script for a movie that Miramax was distributing.
Through his spokespeople, Weinstein has previously apologized for his behavior, but said he denies many of the sexual harassment allegations.
