Michael Moore Refuses To Settle In Lawsuit Against The Weinsteins

There won’t be any settlement in the lawsuit between Michael Moore and Bob and Harvey Weinstein.

Moore sued the Weinsteins back in February, claiming that they owe him $2.7 million from his film, Farenheit 9/11.

He alleged that they used “financial deception” and “bogus accounting methods” in their production deal.

He continues:

“No settlement. No interest in one. Discovery and depositions will reveal how the accounting is done, once and for all.

Harvey and I have a lot of important history together, brothers in arms. And he and Bob have nothing but a force for good indie filmmakers … I hold no ill will, and for now am just blaming all of this on his accountants and business affairs people.”

A lawyer for the Weinsteins dispute the allegations, saying:

“[Harvey and Bob] have paid [Moore] everything he should be paid. [The Weinsteins] would be rushing to settle if they were concerned, but they’re not. [The lawsuit] is riddled with inaccuracies and ridiculous claims.”

Ouch.

It’s too bad when a bad business deals get in the way of a professional relationship.

Who do U think is telling the truth?
