Harvey Weinstein: trio of accusers refuse to sign 'inadequate' settlement Read moreHowever, the agreement has drawn much criticism from lawyers and some of the accusers themselves, several of whom are now considering objecting to its terms and opting out of the agreement altogether. Lawyer Douglas Wigdor says this is one of the grounds upon which he intends to fight the proposed settlement on behalf of two of his clients who have announced they will object. Of this sum, around $6.2m would go to 18 accusers who filed cases in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Brock, who was part of the original class action filed against Weinstein in November 2017, says she feels her hands are tied. Wigdor says it is “patently unfair” to give a considerable sum “to the people alleged to have enabled Harvey Weinstein, while inadequately compensating the victims”.
