Ormond, who has joined the ranks of over 100 women who have alleged misconduct by Weinstein over several decades, filed a lawsuit in the New York Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In \u2062addition \u2064to holding Weinstein accountable, Ormond \u200bis \u2063also\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/n-m-widower-sues-alburquerque-over-sanctuary-city-policy\/\" title=\"N.M. widower sues Alburquerque over sanctuary city policy\">taking legal action<\/a> against The\u2062 Walt Disney Company, Miramax, and Creative Arts \u200cAgency (CAA), who\u2064 represented her \u2062at the time.\u200d These entities are accused of enabling Weinstein&#8217;s behavior and failing to prevent\u2064 it, causing immense personal and professional suffering for Ormond.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ormond&#8217;s attorneys,\u200c Douglas H. Wigdor and\u200c Effie Blassberger, \u2064expressed their client&#8217;s\u200d deep sense\u200d of betrayal by \u2063CAA for disregarding her safety and well-being.\u200d They are determined\u200d to ensure that the people and institutions\u200d responsible for \u200cenabling Weinstein&#8217;s predatory behavior are held \u200daccountable.<\/p>\n<h3>A Shocking Encounter and Allegations<\/h3>\n<p>The lawsuit reveals that Ormond first\u200d met Weinstein during \u200ca\u2063 business meeting \u2064in London back in\u2064 1994. What \u2063seemed like a\u200c promising\u200d opportunity quickly\u2062 turned into a nightmare. \u2062Over \u200dthe next\u2062 year, \u200cOrmond developed a professional relationship with \u2063Weinstein, only\u200c to be subjected to a\u200c horrifying incident.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>According to the lawsuit, Weinstein \u2064forced\u200c Ormond to perform\u200b oral sex on him after a business \u200bdinner in 1995. The lawsuit describes how Weinstein manipulated the situation, taking advantage of Ormond&#8217;s vulnerability and intoxication. This assault occurred at a critical point in Ormond&#8217;s \u200dcareer,\u2063 as she was landing significant roles in films such as\u200d &#8220;Legends of the \u200bFall&#8221; and &#8220;Sabrina.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u2062 lawsuit emphasizes that\u200d Disney, Miramax, and CAA could have prevented this assault if they had \u2063fulfilled their duty to protect Ormond. It further accuses these\u200c entertainment companies \u2063of profiting from their\u200c association with Weinstein, even after Ormond was assaulted and abandoned by Hollywood.<\/p>\n<h3>Betrayal and Career \u200cConsequences<\/h3>\n<p>Ormond confided in \u2064her \u2063former agents, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, about the assault. Shockingly, the \u200clawsuit claims that\u200c CAA\u2063 did not support Ormond and \u200dinstead discouraged her from reporting \u200cthe incident. They even\u2062 suggested that she \u200bwould not\u200b be believed and that her career would be irreparably damaged if she took action against Weinstein.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Tragically, CAA \u2062lost interest in representing Ormond shortly after the assault, leading to a significant decline in her career. This betrayal compounded \u2063the emotional and\u2064 professional toll she had already endured.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ormond, who won an Emmy for \u2064her\u2064 role in HBO&#8217;s &#8220;Temple Grandin,&#8221; decided to speak out after\u200c nearly three decades to contribute to\u2062 the much-needed systemic change in Hollywood. She\u200b filed the lawsuit under the Adult Survivors Act, which allows survivors of \u2064sexual battery to\u200d seek civil\u200d damages \u200bbeyond the statute of limitations.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Ormond \u200dexpressed her motivation for coming\u2063 forward, stating, &#8220;I am coming forward\u2063 with \u200cmy story \u200cnow \u2062publicly because I feel as if we still need systemic change, and \u2064I\u200d feel that we need \u200caccountability from enablers, in order to get there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Fall \u2064of a Hollywood\u200d Kingpin<\/h3>\n<p>Harvey \u200cWeinstein, once a\u2062 powerful figure in the entertainment industry and co-founder\u2062 of Miramax, saw his empire crumble \u2064in \u200d2017 \u2064when \u200dnumerous women courageously spoke out against him. Their revelations sparked the #MeToo movement, exposing the widespread issue of\u2064 sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>More than 100 women have accused Weinstein of various \u2064sex crimes. However, Weinstein \u2062denies that any sexual acts were\u2064 non-consensual and claims that his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/emmy-winning-actress-accuses-harvey-weinstein-of-sexual-battery-report\/\" title=\"Emmy winner accuses Weinstein of sexual battery: Report\">accusers\u200d sought personal \u2064gain<\/a> in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Weinstein is currently \u2063serving a \u200d23-year\u200b sentence\u2064 in New York for rape and sexual assault. He will subsequently serve\u200d a 16-year prison sentence in Los Angeles, effectively ensuring that\u200b he spends the rest \u2062of his life behind\u200c bars.<\/p>\n<p>Weinstein&#8217;s attorney, Imran H. Ansari, vehemently denies the allegations made \u2063by\u2063 Julia Ormond. He asserts that the evidence will\u2063 not support her claims.<\/p>\n<p>As \u2064of\u2064 now, \u2062CAA, Disney, and\u200c Miramax have not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-attorneys-general-across-u-s-announce-plans-to-probe-gofundme-for-pulling-freedom-convoy\/\" title=\"Republican Attorneys General Across U.S. Announce Plans To Probe GoFundMe For Pulling Freedom Convoy\">issued public statements<\/a> regarding Ormond&#8217;s lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK\u200c HERE TO GET \u200cTHE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Amanda Harding contributed to this \u200dreport.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What challenges do survivors of sexual assault, like Julia Ormond, often face in terms of disbelief, victim-blaming, and professional retaliation?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Nt decline in her career opportunities.
