As you know, some of Harvey’s accusers are going after TWC for facilitating or ignoring the businessman’s gross behavior. The suit suggests there’s information that protects the company from potential liability.
According to Reuters, Weinstein is requesting access to his emails in order to obtain messages that could exonerate him and TWC. Additionally, his legal team is looking into whether confidential information was leaked to the press and if the the board wrongfully fired him.
We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
