Harvey Weinstein fails to get Ashley Judd lawsuit tossed out

The rule issued by Judge Philip Gutierrez allows Judd to proceed with the defamation and interference charges against Weinstein.
UPDATED SEP 20, 2018

Harvey Weinstein's attempt at trying to throw out the lawsuit filed by Ashley Judd failed. In the said lawsuit, Judd accuses Weinstein of defaming her and also interfering with her ability to land a role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but a federal court judge has denied dismissing it.

The rule issued by Judge Philip Gutierrez allows Judd to proceed with her defamation and interference charges against Weinstein. However, they did throw out Judd's sexual harassment claim under the context of a 1990s encounter where Weinstein had allegedly attempted to physically assault her, stating that it doesn't fit the legal definition for workplace sexual harassment.
