Actress Julia Ormond is suing disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein for sexual battery.
In the lawsuit filed Wednesday and obtained by Page Six, the “Legends of the Fall” star alleges that Weinstein sexually assaulted her following a business dinner in 1995.
Ormond, 58, claims in the lawsuit that Weinstein, 71, told her that he would only discuss a project “back at the apartment Miramax had provided for Ormond as part of their first-look deal with her.”
Ormond agreed to have Weinstein come to her apartment where he allegedly “stripped naked and forced her to perform oral sex on him.”
After the alleged incident, the “Sabrina” star claims in the suit that she informed her agents Kevin Huvane and Bryan Lourd about what had occurred.
However, Ormond claims they allegedly advised her against speaking out and did not protect her afterward.
She is also suing Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. Additionally, Ormond is also suing Miramax and the Walt Disney Company for negligent supervision and retention.
Huvane and Lourd — who are co-chairmen of CAA — are not named as defendants in the lawsuit, but they are named throughout the document as her reps during that time.

The lawsuit claims that the “men at CAA who represented Ormond knew about Weinstein. So too did Weinstein’s employers at Miramax and Disney.
“Brazenly, none of these prominent companies warned Ormond that Weinstein had a history of assaulting women because he was too important, too powerful, and made them too much money.”
Ormond released a statement following the lawsuit, saying that she has lived been living “with the painful memories” Weinstein caused for “decades.”
“I seek a level of personal closure by holding them accountable to acknowledge their part and the depth of its harms and hope that all of our increased understanding will lead to further protections for all of us at work,” she shared.
Weinstein, CAA, Disney and Miramax did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Weinstein — who has been accused by more than 100 women of sexual abuse — is currently behind bars serving a 23-year sentence for raping an aspiring actress and sexually abusing a TV and film production assistant.
In February 2023, the former film producer was also sentenced to another 16 years in prison after he was convicted in December 2022 on counts of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by a foreign object of an Italian model in February 2013.
