Harvey Weinstein says his former film studio, which collapsed into bankruptcy after multiple women accused him of sexual assault, owes him money, WSJ Pro Bankruptcy reported. Weinstein’s lawyers say Weinstein Co., the studio he co-founded, owes him missed payments for film and television productions he financed before the entertainment company filed for chapter 11, according to papers and email correspondence filed last week in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. Weinstein Co.’s assets were sold in July to private-equity firm Lantern Capital Partners for $289 million. Lawyers in charge of liquidating Weinstein Co. are now negotiating a plan to repay creditors, a group that includes vendors that did business with the company and women who have pending lawsuits accusing the studio of covering up Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct.
