NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 11: Movie producer Harvey Weinstein departs from criminal court after a bail hearing on December 11, 2019 in New York City. Weinstein was in court for a ruling on whether he will remain free on bail or if his bail will be raised to $5 million before his trial starts January 6.
Actress Julia Ormond is suing Harvey Weinstein, alleging that he sexually assaulted her almost 30 years ago. She is also accusing Disney, Miramax, and CAA of negligence.
Ormond filed a complaint on Wednesday in the New York State Supreme Court, where she accused Weinstein of sexual assault in her apartment after a business dinner. Ormond claims that Weinstein said he would only discuss their latest film project back at a Miramax-provided apartment. Weinstein would then strip naked and force Ormond to perform oral sex.
Ormond then said she told her CAA agents, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, and claimed they cautioned her about speaking out against Weinstein, believing it would damage her career. She also claimed the agency “lost interest in representing her, and her career suffered dramatically.”
“The men at CAA who represented Ormond knew about Weinstein. So too did Weinstein’s employers at Miramax and [its parent company] Disney. Brazenly, none of these prominent companies warned Ormond that Weinstein had a history of assaulting women because he was too important, too powerful, and made them too much money,” the court filing read.
The complaint was filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act. The act allows “a one-year lookback window for survivors of sexual assault that occurred when they were over the age of 18 to sue their abusers regardless of when the abuse occurred.”

Ormond starred in a number of films in the 1990s alongside the likes of Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford. She also believes Weinstein played a role in ruining her career.
Weinstein is currently serving 23 years in prison after being convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2020. He was additionally sentenced to 16 years for sex crimes in Los Angeles in 2023. He has been accused of rape and sexual assault by more than 80 women.
A CAA spokesperson said that they’d “vigorously refute” Ormond’s claims. They also said they take all allegations of sexual assault seriously but believe Ormond’s complaints are “completely without merit.”
