LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Harvey Weinstein's lawyers are calling on a US judge to dismiss a lawsuit from actress Ashley Judd -- who accuses the disgraced mogul of torpedoing her career -- on the grounds that she had made a sexual "deal" with him.
The 50-year-old actress says the once-influential Hollywood producer sabotaged her career by convincing Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson not to cast Judd after she rejected Weinstein's sexual advances.

inRead invented by Teads Weinstein fell from grace after scores of women came forward with allegations against him ranging from harassment to rape.
But in a motion filed Tuesday in a Los Angeles court, Weinstein's defense team insisted Judd had struck a "deal" with Weinstein allowing him to touch her if she "won an Academy Award in one of his films."
Weinstein's attorneys claim the ex-movie mogul then "attempted to live up to his part of the bargain" by working to cast Judd in "as many roles as possible" -- including opposite Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting, a role for which Minnie Driver ultimately won an Oscar nomination.
His action "reflects his motivation to advance her career, not ruin it" and undermines Judd's "defamation claim (as well as her retaliation claim) in its entirety," the court documents say....
Sorry about the format, didn’t show up on my phone.
The majority of these starlets now acting like victims fully volunteered to trade sex for career advancement and were fully aware for decades that this is how the industry worked. And now that they are sitting in the mansions, sipping the cognac that fully voluntary blowjob paid for they want to fish for pity? No idea why they get so much worship and sympathy.
No wonder she calls herself “naasssty woman”
I’m going to bet a doughnut that she DID prostitute herself for a movie ‘career.’ I mean, has anyone seen ANY bit of talent from this broad?
All I see is Cray-Cray Googly Eyes. But then, I’m not a Hollywood Producer. *SNORT*
Hmm, didn’t Judd claim to be a tough woman when she was bashing Trump? Maybe not so tough Ashley.
Demand a jury trial and play the “I’m a nasty woman” tape.
She hit 50 in Hollywood so her only way to make $ is with a lawyer.
Maybe this is how she came to think of herself as "nasty."
Was it an “Oral Contract”?
Sorry, Miss Ashley, many such agreements are admissible in a court of law.
Lawyers get paid too much not to come up with ideas.
Typical FReepers. Most of this thread just assuming this woman (I know nothing about her or her experience with Weinstein) deserved anything that happened to her. What a shame. Sometimes I love this site. Not when this crap goes on.
Judd admits to the deal but says she wasn't completely serious about it...
Well, that is different, if she admits to it. Geez.
Ideally they all go broke paying lawyers.
this is gonna be the trial to watch...hes not goin down without a fight and both sides will be destroyed...heheh...sickos deserve it.
Which orc was she going to play?
She’s a vile woman with a nasty mouth
she only came out about the nasty business deal after Hillary lost and after her pussy riot protests
