Actress Ashley Judd persuaded a federal appeals court to let her proceed with a sexual-harassment claim against former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who she said sabotaged her career after she rejected his advances.
The allegation stems from an episode at a Beverly Hills hotel about two decades ago, where Judd says she met the bathrobe-clothed Weinstein in a private room under the pretext of a breakfast meeting. The actress claims she only managed to escape the room after promising he could “touch her” when she won an Academy Award in one of his movies.
