Earlier in February, discussions were ongoing about a potential sale when on February 11, the Attorney General’s office filed a lawsuit against The Weinstein Company.
Glasser was still working for The Weinstein Company at the time, but he was fired after Schneiderman came out against him and now proposes to also sue for “wrongful termination.”
He also noted that The Weinstein Company’s David Glasser did not do enough to protect women from Harvey Weinsten during his tenure at The Weinstein Company.
The lawsuit was a civil rights lawsuit, and one that got a lot of press, especially after Attorney General Eric Schneiderman came out strongly against the sale.
