Time’s Up has denounced the tentative settlement that Harvey Weinstein has reached with his accusers as emblematic of “a broken system.”
“This settlement is more than a math problem – it’s a symptom of a problematic, broken system that privileges powerful abusers at the expense of survivors,” Rebecca Goldman, Time’s Up’s chief operating officer, said in a statement. “While this settlement is flawed, we know it represents the hard work of several survivors of Harvey Weinstein. We hope it brings them, and perhaps others, some small measure of justice and relief that is long overdue.”
The settlement, which was first reported by the New York Times, would offer Weinstein’s accusers about $25 million, as paid out by Weinstein’s insurance companies.
