Julia Ormond sues Harvey Weinstein for battery along with Disney, CAA and Miramax for negligence

Actress Julia Ormond is suing disgraced former film producer Harvey Weinstein for battery and sexual assault she says occurred in 1995, according to a copy of the complaint obtained by CNN.

Ormond is also suing the once Weinstein-owned Miramax as well the Walt Disney Company, which purchased Miramax in 1993, for negligence and Hollywood talent agency CAA (Creative Artists Agency), who represented the actress, for negligence and breach of fiduciary trust. (A majority stake of CAA was recently purchased by the Artémis investment firm.)

In the complaint, first reported by Variety, Ormond alleges that in December 1995, she and Weinstein were supposed to have a business dinner to discuss a project. However at the dinner, Weinstein "refused to discuss business matters," saying he "would only discuss the project back at the apartment Miramax had provided for Ormond as part of their first-look deal with her." Once at the apartment, Weinstein "stripped naked and forced her to perform oral sex on him."

"Harvey Weinstein categorically denies the allegations made against him by Julia Ormond and he is prepared to vehemently defend himself," a representative for Weinstein told CNN in a statement. "This is yet another example of a complaint filed against Mr. Weinstein after the passing of decades, and he is confident that the evidence will not support Ms. Ormond's claims."

The complaint also alleges that Miramax or Disney could have "properly supervised Weinstein and not retained him while knowing that he was a danger to the women he encountered at work."

Ormond claims in the lawsuit that when she recounted what happened, her then-agents at CAA, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, who are now co-chairmen of the powerful Hollywood talent group, "suggested that if she reported Weinstein to the authorities, she would not be believed, and he would seriously damage her career. Still worse, not long after Weinstein's assault on Ormond and her reporting of the assault to them, CAA lost interest in representing her, and her career suffered dramatically."

CNN has reached out to representatives for Miramax, The Walt Disney Company and CAA - along with Lourd and Huvane, who are not directly named as defendants in the lawsuit - for comment.
