Harvey Weinstein Sues Brother Bob Weinstein Over $45 Million Loan Dispute

The disgraced producer alleges financial misconduct and a conspiracy to undermine him at The Weinstein Company.

Harvey Weinstein has filed a lawsuit against his brother Bob Weinstein and former executive David Glasser, accusing them of duping him into guaranteeing a $45 million loan in 2016.
The lawsuit claims Bob Weinstein and Glasser misappropriated millions for personal use, including $6 million withdrawn by Bob and $5 million in bonuses taken by Glasser.
Weinstein alleges the financial actions were part of a calculated effort to leave him liable for the loan and push him out of The Weinstein Company, which went bankrupt in 2018.
Bob Weinstein's lawyer has dismissed the allegations as entirely without merit, while Glasser has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
Harvey Weinstein, currently jailed and awaiting a retrial on sex crimes charges, is seeking to shield himself from financial liability, punitive damages, and coverage of legal fees.
