Harvey Weinstein to challenge firing from company
Harvey Weinstein isn’t taking his firing lying down.
The accused predator plans on challenging his ouster from The Weinstein Company at a meeting next week, according to a new TMZ report.
He will dial into the Oct. 17 meeting from a rehab clinic, while his lawyer Patty Glaser will be there in person, sources tell the gossip site.
Weinstein was fired by his namesake company’s board over the weekend over his sexual harassment scandal, but the movie mogul maintains that his contract allowed him to treat someone “improperly” as long as he coughed up the cash for damages.
Glaser also plans on arguing that he could only be fired after a process of mediation and arbitration, TMZ reports.
