LOS ANGELES — Ashley Judd sued Harvey Weinstein on Monday, saying the former movie mogul hurt her acting career in retaliation for her rejecting his sexual advances. In the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Judd accuses Weinstein of defamation, sexual harassment and violating California’s unfair competition law. Jackson said Weinstein also warned him against casting Mira Sorvino, who has also alleged she is among Weinstein’s victims. The lawsuit seeks injunctions against Weinstein engaging in unfair competition and any further retaliation against Judd. The suit is among many pending against Weinstein, 66, who is also under criminal investigation in Los Angeles and New York.
