NEW YORK—Film and TV studio The Weinstein Co., whose ex-chairman Harvey Weinstein has been accused of sexual harassment and assault, filed for bankruptcy on March 19 and said it was ending all nondisclosure agreements that may have silenced some women.
The filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware follows accusations by more than 70 women against the company’s co-founder, Harvey Weinstein, who was one of Hollywood’s most influential men, of sexual misconduct, including rape. Weinstein has denied having nonconsensual sex with anyone.
