What Actually Happened to Julia Ormond?
Julia Ormond filed a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court in which she accused Harvey of s*xually assaulting her back in 1995.
Further, she has described that Harvey lured her to come into her room after dinner, asked her to give him a massage, and then went on to masturbate on her body and forced her to engage in oral s*x.
After the incident, Julia informed her agents Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane right away, but in return, they asked her to be silent on the matter.
Although Julia hasn’t sued or accused Bryan and Kevin, she has sued Creative Artists Agency for negligence, and both men are now co-chairmen of the media agency.
When asked about why Julia is coming out now to raise the issue after all these years, she said that she wants to be part of the changes that will make Hollywood a better place to work and will protect women from s*xual offenders.
