of sexual harassment and sexual assaults
by powerful people to go unchecked, Claire-Lise Y. Kutlay, Attorney representing Asta Jonasson, via NBC.
It is our hope that this lawsuit
promotes change in the industry,
and prevents future bad
behavior from occurring, Claire-Lise Y. Kutlay, Attorney representing Asta Jonasson, via NBC.

a nondisclosure agreement, which prevented her

According to the suit, Jonasson felt empowered to speak up
by the Me Too movement and is protected by the
Speak Out Act, which voids NDAs for victims of sexual assault.
