New Lawsuit By Former Weinstein Employee Paints A Grim Picture
Associate Evan Gibbs bi-weekly column in Above the Law discusses a new lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein by one of his former employees, Sandeep Rehal. Gibbs writes, "According to her two-count complaint filed in the Southern District of New York on January 25, 2018, Ms. Rehal worked for Weinstein’s company for over two years (from 2013 to 2015). She alleges that during her employment, she was subjected to ‘incessant harassment’ by Weinstein, and that the harassment was known to the company and its human resources department." Rehal claims that she "was required to be involved in and aware of the preparations for, and clean up after, Harvey Weinstein’s extremely prolific sexual encounters." Gibbs concludes, writing, "It’s going to take many months (and maybe years) before we see a resolution to this and the other lawsuits against Weinstein and his company, assuming it’s not settled prior to resolution on its merits."
