– Laura Palumbo, communications director for the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, told Insider that she’s not surprised by Harvey Weinstein’s tentative $25 million settlement with women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.
– Palumbo said having to settle for less than what is deserved is “just a reality” for many victims of sexual assault.
– In the tentative settlement, Weinstein won’t have to admit any wrongdoing, and the funds will be paid by Weinstein Company insurers.
– More than 30 women — both actresses and Weinstein Company employees —have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct. The settlement would resolve several civil lawsuits that have been filed against him since 2017.
