Hollywood actress Ashley Judd sued the famous producer Harvey Weinstein, from which the sex scandal in Hollywood began.

The actress claims that the infamous Weinstein destroyed her career by spreading lies about her after she rejected his sexual harassment.

In particular, it is stated in the lawsuit that in 1998 Weinstein persuaded Peter Jackson not to invite Judd to the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings", stating that Miramax had a "nightmarish" experience with it, reports The Times..

As a result, he destroyed her chance to work in what became a multi-billion dollar franchise, which won 17 "Oscars".

"The miserable truth is that Weinstein took revenge on Miss Judd for refusing him an intimate offer a year earlier, when he locked her up in a hotel room under the pretext of discussing the work," the suit said..

Representatives of Weinstein rejected these accusations, pointing out that after the events described in the lawsuit Judd played "not in one, but in his two films -" Frida "and" Crossing ".

Recall, the other day it became known that Brad Pitt took up the film adaptation of the film about sexual harassment of Harvey Weinstein.
