Harvey Weinstein and his film studio have reportedly done a tentative $US25 million deal with dozens of women who accuse him of sexual misconduct.
Harvey Weinstein and his bankrupt film studio have reached a tentative $US25 million settlement with dozens of women who accused him of sexual misconduct, The New York Times says, citing lawyers involved.
The litigation is separate from criminal charges that Weinstein faces in New York, where prosecutors have accused him of sexually assaulting two women, one in 2006 and another in 2013. Through his namesake studio and his original Miramax studio, Weinstein became one of Hollywood's most powerful executives, powering a string of films to Oscar gold, including Pulp Fiction, Shakespeare in Love and The King's Speech.
