Ashley Judd is suing Harvey Weinstein, claiming he destroyed her career because she wouldn’t give into his sexual advances.

I lost career opportunity. I lost money. I lost status and prestige and power in my career as a direct result of having been sexually harassed and rebuffing the sexual harassment,” she told ABC News. “My career opportunities, after having been defamed by Harvey Weinstein, were significantly diminished. My career was damaged because I rebuffed Mr. Weinstein’s sexual advances. I know it for a fact.”

The suit also involves Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” films, according to The New York Times. Peter admitted that Weinstein stopped him from hiring female actors, including Judd.
