After Uma Thurman's loud statement that Harvey Weinstein was harassed for years, appeared in the press this morning, the lawyer of the film producer spoke before the public, saying that the accusations of the 47-year-old actress are a lie. In addition, Benjamin Brafman noted that for such statements must be accountable before the law, and he and his colleagues have already prepared documents in court for Thurman for slander against Weinstein.
Brahman's loud statement
After the publication of the New York Times published a huge interview with Uma Thurman, in which she confessed Harvey harassment, the lawyers of the accused began to prepare a lawsuit against the 47-year-old actress. That's what the words to the press were told by Benjamin Brafman:
"When Harvey found out what Uma Thurman was saying about him, he was very upset, because for a long time they were colleagues, and quite successful. Perhaps, Ms. Thurman expressed her thoughts differently, and the New York Times magazine misunderstood her. In this regard, an investigation will be carried out, as well as interview staff interviewed by Thurman. Only then can we say that all of the blame for what has been said lies with the 47-year-old actress. Despite this, we have already begun preparations for an investigation that will occur in the near future. We very much hope that Thurman's words have been twisted and filed in a light that is beneficial to the press. If we find a clue that Uma did not say this, then we will not submit documents to court. Otherwise, we will have to put serious charges against Thurman in libel. "
After that, Brafman decided to express his opinion that in the words and behavior of Thurman there are some inconsistencies:
"The incident, which says 47-year-old Uma occurred more than 25 years ago. Could you please explain why the actress was still silent? In addition, in the network, just like our client, there are a lot of pictures that say that Harvey and Uma were friends for many years after filming "Pulp Fiction". We would very much like the New York Times to publish them on their pages, because they talk about the relationship between Weinstein and Thurman much more than her interview.Regarding the incident with the sauna, he really was. My client really went to Umoy's room in one bathrobe, but he did not have any evil intentions. Harvey admits that Thurman misunderstood and behaved badly in relation to her. Weinstein very much regrets what happened, but there were no physical touches. "

The fans supported Uma Thurman
After the press published a statement of the lawyer Weinstein with accusations against Thurman, the fans took up arms against the film producer, writing on the Internet are such non-flattering comments: "Unambiguously, I believe Ume. Harvey has a very bad reputation and I will not be surprised that the words that Thurman said are one hundred percent true "," I never liked Weinstein, and after all these stories about harassment began to come out, I generally perceive it as a pig. And I feel sorry for Um. She trusted him, and as a result, he acted with her so ugly "," I think that people like Weinstein should be protected from society. If he betrayed his friendship with Thurman and took advantage of her ignorance, then this is a doubly bad act. So to behave is simply immoral ", etc.
