The New York Times reported on Wednesday that a tentative deal had been agreed involvingWeinstein’s numerous alleged victims in the US, Canada, Britain and Ireland. Weinstein himself would not have to pay a penny to his accusers or have to admit wrongdoing under the terms of the settlement, the Times reports. The pending settlement in the multiple civil lawsuits is by no means the end of Weinstein’s legal woes. Aspects of the tentative deal will probably be contentious and have already prompted angry responses from some of Weinstein’s alleged victims. According to the Times, two women involved in civil suits against the former producer, Alexandra Canosa and Wedil David, have refused to join the settlement and are challenging it.
