  • 6 years ago

(Reuters) - A second actress has filed an anonymous case claiming she was sexually harassed by movie producer Harvey Weinstein and has also asked for class action status against Weinstein and the two companies he co-founded in a lawsuit on Wednesday. Filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, the lawsuit claims The Weinstein Company and Miramax helped facilitate and cover up Weinstein’s sexual misconduct. “There are dozens, and likely hundreds, of proposed class members,” according to the lawsuit. It is the first lawsuit filed against Weinstein to seek class-action status.
