A 25 million US dollar (£18.9 million) settlement to end nearly every sexual misconduct lawsuit brought against Harvey Weinstein and his former film studio’s board has received a mixed reaction. Eighteen of the alleged victims would split 6.2 million dollars (£4.6 million), with no individual receiving more than 500,000 dollars (£378,000). They also called it “shameful that 12 million dollars of the settlement is going to the lawyers for the directors who we alleged enabled Harvey Weinstein”. His bail was increased from a million dollars (£750,000) to 5 million dollars (£3.8 million) for allegedly mishandling his electronic ankle monitor.
