Overview

• Ormond filed her lawsuit in October 2023 accusing Disney, its Miramax unit and CAA of failing to protect her from Harvey Weinstein’s 1995 assault.
• The agreement includes no admission of wrongdoing and leverages the Adult Survivors Act’s one-year window for historic claims.
• Court records show Disney will pay $5.75 million while separate litigation against CAA and Miramax continues over discovery disputes.
• Legal experts say the deal underscores mounting corporate liability for enabling misconduct once shielded by powerful executives.
• Advocates warn the payout may encourage more survivors to sue under similar statutes, although further actions against Disney remain uncertain.
