“Harvey Weinstein promoted more women to key executive positions than any other industry leader,” attorney Ben Brafman says
Harvey Weinstein’s attorney says that his client deserves credit for promoting “more women to key executive positions than any other industry leader.”
That statement from Ben Brafman was a response to a civil rights lawsuit filed by New York’s attorney general, Eric Schneiderman.
