After the episode, the woman told Dolan about the incident with Harvey and that he was “sexually aggressive”, but Dolan told her that Harvey Weinstein was a “troubled person” who had “serious issues”.

In the lawsuit, the woman claims that she has suffered at the hands of Dolan and Weinstein, making the difficult decision to address her trauma by seeking justice. She said, “James Dolan manipulated me, brought me to California to abuse me and then set me up for a vicious attack by Weinstein. My hope is that my lawsuit will force Dolan to acknowledge what he did to me and to take responsibility for the harm he has caused.”
