British actress Julia Ormond sues well known Hollywood talent agency for - she claims - acting like scumbag enablers of Harvey Weinstein in the 1990's
Ormond claims that she was paying CAA 10% of her income to represent her and in turn they set her up on a play date with somebody that they knew was a serial rapist and then helped to damage her career when she complained.

Ormond claims that she was paying CAA 10% of her income to represent her and in turn they set her up on a play date with somebody that they knew was a serial rapist and then helped to damage her career when she complained.
Cliffs:
- Julie Ormond is a British actress who was a rising star in Hollywood in the mid-90's
- Ormond claims that she was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein
- Ormond is now suing her talent agency of that time, CAA, for enabling Weinstein's assault and breaking their fiduciary duty to her
- Ormond claims that CAA knew that Weinstein was sexual predator because he had assaulted other CAA and non-CAA repped actresses and the CAA agents knew this
- Ormond claims that when she reported the sexual assault to CAA, they discouraged her from filing a police report (claiming that she would get at most $100,000 and destroy her career in the process) or publicly accuse Weinstein (claiming that he would be able to sue her for libel)
- Ormond claims that she rejected Weinstein's continued advances at which time Weinstein terminated her contracts with his production company and blacklisted her.
- Ormond claims that after her complaints, she was demoted to less powerful agents within CAA.
- In combination, the incident effectively ended her promising Hollywood career
