Harvey Weinstein Sues Brother Bob for Fraud

In a new legal development, Harvey Weinstein is taking legal action against his brother Bob Weinstein and David Glasser, an executive at The Weinstein Company. He’s filing a lawsuit claiming fraud and conspiracy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harvey alleges that his brother and Glasser secured a $45 million loan from AI International Holdings for The Weinstein Company, which they subsequently misused for personal expenses, unauthorized bonuses, and transactions not related to the company. Harvey also accuses them of forcing him out of the company. It’s important to note that at the time of this alleged activity, Harvey Weinstein was facing multiple accusations of sexual assault and misconduct, both in criminal and civil court proceedings.

Harvey Weinstein was tricked by people he trusted, and obtained a $45 million loan by falsely claiming it would save The Weinstein Company,” Weinstein’s attorney said to THR. The lawsuit alleges that Bob and Glasser negotiated with AI International Holdings to absolve themselves from responsibility for the loan taken out in Weinstein’s name. The Weinstein Company went bankrupt in 2018, following sexual assault accusations. Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of rape in 2020 in New York, and again in 2023 in California. However, the New York conviction was overturned in 2024, and he is now awaiting a retrial this April.
