A Los Angeles has dismissed Ashley Judd's sexual harassment lawsuit against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein - but said she can move forward with allegations he defamed her and damaged her career.
US District Judge Philip Gutierrez said the law covering sexual harassment within a professional relationship did not apply to sexual advances Weinstein, 66, allegedly made toward Judd in 1997 during a meeting about potential film roles.
However, he did rule that Judd, 50, can proceed with her defamation claim against the producer, who has been accused of sexual abuse by hundreds of women and is facing criminal charges in New York.
A Los Angeles judge dismissed actress Ashley Judd's sexual harassment lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein Wednesday
One of the first women to accuse him, Judd claims that in 1998, Weinstein defamed her and damaged her career by telling Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson that she was a 'nightmare' to work with
Judge Philip Gutierrez said Judd can still proceed with her defamation claim against Weinstein
Gutierrez previously said in September that the law upon which Judd's claim was based 'has never before been applied to an employer's sexual harassment of a prospective employee, and the court is not convinced that the statute was intended to cover such harassment.'
Weinstein's lawyers in July insisted Judd had struck a 'deal' with Weinstein allowing him to touch her if she 'won an Academy Award in one of his films.'
But Judd alleged that she proposed the pact to elude Weinstein after he invited her to his Beverly Hills hotel room.
Jackson confirmed in December 2017 that Weinstein had in the 1990s sought to discredit actresses who later went on to accuse him of sexual misconduct.
Meanwhile, Weinstein told the Daily Beast that he is reaching out to new lawyers to revamp his criminal defense team.
According to a source close to Weinstein, his representatives have been in contact with high-profile criminal defense lawyers in an attempt to take over for his current attorney Ben Brafman.
But in a rare statement, Weinstein tells the Daily Beast: 'The rumor is untrue. We are looking to augment the team, not replace anyone.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
