Apparently, the 65-year-old’s latest paperwork says the filmmaker cannot be fired or ousted for any sexual harassment allegations prior to 2015 — which, as we’ve reported, includes most of the claims currently being made against him by actresses like Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
This means the company was well-aware of Harvey’s behavior and abuse of power — but did nothing about it.
