Harvey Weinstein, Convicted Sexual Predator, Sues for $500K from ‘Finding Neverland’
Weinstein takes legal action
Recently, a lawsuit was filed by Harvey Weinstein in the Manhattan Supreme Court.
The legal system today can be unpredictable, with felons being released due to decisions by individuals like NY’s District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
On the other hand, 9/11 perpetrators are offered plea deals, and individuals like Jeffrey Epstein, under tight security, manage to commit suicide while in prison.
Convicts may not vote for president, but they have the right to start legal proceedings, as Weinstein has done. He is a producer responsible for over 30 Miramax movies, including award-winning films like “Shakespeare in Love” starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
At the age of 72, Weinstein, once a convicted sex offender, is now embroiled in a lawsuit only four pages long.
The lawsuit, a summons with notice for contract and conversion, alleges that defendants failed to pay Weinstein a consulting fee and royalties owed to him for his work on the “Finding Neverland” play.
The plaintiffs in this case include Harvey Weinstein, Weinstein Live Entertainment, Finding Neverland USA, National Artists Management Company, and FNL Touring LLC.
The issue at hand involves breach of contract and conversion, as defendants have failed to pay Weinstein for his work on the play’s tour worldwide excluding the United Kingdom.
Harvey Weinstein’s Lawsuit
The lawsuit focuses on the musical adaptation of Johnny Depp’s film “Finding Neverland” and includes terms such as a weekly fee of $5,750 prorated based on performances and net profits of 25.75%.
Although the total production profits are unknown, Weinstein could potentially earn up to $465,750 from this endeavor.
Weinstein’s health has deteriorated, spending much of his time in prison hospitals due to COVID and facing additional sexual cases in California. Despite these challenges, he has found the strength to pursue legal action.
Interesting Anecdotes
In Jeremy Murphy’s new book, various anecdotes involving celebrities are shared, such as Harrison Ford going to the wrong address for filming and a stylist using chicken fat instead of rooster grease on Julianna Margulies’ hair.
The book also includes stories about Hugh Grant’s frustration over lost luggage, Tom Selleck’s reluctance to hold a gun, and other celebrity encounters during Murphy’s tenure as a magazine editor.
The book reveals fascinating experiences with Neil Patrick Harris, LL Cool J, and Mary J. Blige, among others.
A stripper once told her doctor, “I don’t have scars to show you, so you’ll just have to take potluck.”
