Harvey Weinstein has reached a tentative $44 million settlement on a civil rights lawsuit, that's according to the Wall Street Journal, which said on Thursday (May 23) the proposed settlement was between the disgraced Hollywood mogul, his accusers, Weinstein Co.
Board members and the New York attorney general's office.
If finalized, the Journal says it would compensate alleged victims of the Hollywood producer and resolve the lawsuit filed last year.
It accused Weinstein Co's executives and board of failing to protect employees from Weinstein's sexual misconduct and a hostile work environment.
The proposed deal doesn't, however, affect a criminal case pending against Weinstein's rape and other sex crime charges, the Journal reports.
A representative for Weinstein and the company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
He's previously denied all accusations against him.
