Two of Harvey Weinstein’s accusers are pushing for the right to pursue individual bankruptcy cases. In a motion filed yesterday, actresses Wedil David and Dominique Huett ask for the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases to be converted to Chapter 7, which would effectively end settlement discussions and liquidate the Weinstein estate.
The actresses are among many critics of the proposed $19-million settlement to the dozens of women accusing the disgraced movie mogul, which we told you was recently rejected by the judge. The filing calls the rejection a “major setback” to the Chapter 11 settlement.
“The debtors sold substantially all of their assets over two years ago,” the motion reads. “There is not any possibility of a true reorganization. There is only liquidation, and that is accomplished with far less cost in Chapter 7.”
