Julia Ormond files lawsuit against Weinstein

GASP!

When you think there were no more and we were done with him....

Can't tell her and Julianna Margulies apart, to be honest. Neither is a good actress, so their current WHET-level status seems about right to me.

I loved her in Smilla's Sense Of Snow and on Mad Men

Good for her.

He was relentless. In future decades, Weinstein revelations will probably be hallmarks of Hollywood memoirs.

She was radiant in the remake of "Sabrina."

Can you imagine being forced to give oral sex to Weinstein and when you alert your representatives, handlers and employers about it, they collude with him? I like that she's suing the enablers as well. Really impressed with her for this.

And after the full court press she was given in the mid-'90s with Sabrina and Legends of the Fall and then her agency left audiences with the assumption that she was a flop, etc. rather than confront Weinstein. Just terrible. It's such a hard industry to being with and then to have your career completely halted by something like that....it must be maddening.

Good for her.

Good for her. CAA is a cesspool and it's about time agents are getting some eyeballing for their part in supplying Weinstein with victims. As a commenter on Deadline said "CAA definitively was fully aware and can guarantee Jon Ringquist was in the room when this one want down to protect Lourd"

(CAA lied and said Ringquist was a lawyer so he could have access in a suit against AMC.)

So was J Law Harv's last creation/push before his downfall?

Suing Harvey and the agents and all is fine.

However, her long-term affair with the very married Harrison Ford (it started during Sabrina) will come out and I'm not sure anyone will thank her for that. It's not like she wasn't aware that he was married.

One day, towards the end of the affair, they had a huge screaming fight in public in NYC. He kept her in an apartment not far from his family apartment and she threatened to go tell his wife everything. He headed her off halfway to his place and they went at it hammer and tongs on the sidewalk. Photos were taken, witnesses were obviously present.

Then she was with Gabriel Byrne for a few years, he refused to marry her. They also used to have huge fights. Hotel security was called more than once.

I'm not saying that she's wrong for suing Harvey and the agents. I'm saying she has some exposure here herself and she will probably expose her former partners and their battles. She's not suing nobodies.

How are her personal relationships related to her civil suit, R11?

You seem to have a very dated view of things. Harrison Ford is grown man, he can take responsibility for his own actions.

She was catatonic in Sabrina. Charmless. Dull. But she was pretty.

I'm realistic about how they're going to go after Ormond in court, R12. She has a past, they'll use it.

Ford's responsible for his own actions, Ormond is responsible for hers. It's not as if CAA is going to just lay down and do nothing. This is Hollywood, they're major players. They will go after her and there's plenty for them to find and use against her.

Nuts and Sluts - those are always the defense against women bringing suit or alleging any wrongdoing. Haven't you ever noticed that?

Her agent Bryan Lourd is also a scumbag.

R15 That's the queen who knocked up Carrie Fisher, isn't it?

"Knocked up" seems like the wrong word to use for a turkey baster pregnancy.

R17 Fuck you

The article about this in The New York Times features a very unflattering pic of her.

I would love to see Bryan Lourd held accountable.

For all their screaming and fucking in real life, you’d think Harrison and Julia could have scared up a shred of chemistry in Sabrina.

They saved it all for Harrison's trailer. It was rockin' and nobody came knockin'.

Kevin Huvane is about the biggest agent in Hollywood and has been for years. He represents Jennifer Aniston, Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt. Let’s see if any of his clients speak out against him or fire him.

R8 I‘m absolutely with you on this. The enablers should go to prison as well - especially the women. I hate how many got away absolutely unscathed.

This story seems to have disappeared. Wonder what happened. I was hoping sleazy Bryan Lourde would get taken down.

She was good in Mad Men

^^^ Matthew Weiner may be an odd duck but he got some good acting out of his cast

I'd scream and moan in Ford's trailer, too, if that era Ford was dicking me deep
