Three women who have sued Harvey Weinstein for sexual assault argued on Monday that
Attorneys for Dominique Huett, Kaja Sokola and Wedil David filed an opposition to the deal, in which they contend that $15 million will go to Weinstein and the other directors and officers of the Weinstein Co., while the typical Weinstein accuser will receive $10,000 to $20,000.
The settlement aims to resolve most of the litigation surrounding the Weinstein Co., which declared bankruptcy in 2018. Under the deal, which was announced on June 30, a pool of $18.9 million would be set up for class action plaintiffs and their attorneys. Another pool of $5.4 million would go to individual plaintiffs.
All of the objectors have noted that Harvey Weinstein will pay nothing into the settlement pool, which is being funded instead by a group of insurance companies. Wigdor and Mintzer also argued that the “special master” process for awarding class action claims is unreviewable, and likely to lead to unjust outcomes.Attorneys for the Weinstein Co. bankruptcy estate hope to wrap up the case and liquidate the company’s remaining assets by the end of the year.
