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,” Judd [told ABC](http://abcnews.go.com/US/ashley-judd-sues-harvey-weinstein-career-damaged-rebuffed/story?id=54836170). “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.” Weinstein, whose downfall kickstarted the #MeToo movement, has denied all allegations of sexual assault. He has yet to comment on Judd’s lawsuit. Judd told ABC she would donate any monetary reward to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund. Director Peter Jackson told New Zealand outlet [Stuff](https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/99885932/sir-peter-jackson-breaks-silence-on-harvey-weinstein) in December that he was forced by Weinstein to blacklist Judd for a role in The Lord of the Rings. “It’s very upsetting, you know,” Judd told ABC. “It was a special time to be invited into their offices… Then all of a sudden, mysteriously, we never heard back.” “Were we supposed to call some fantasy attorney general of moviedom?” [Judd told TIME in December](http://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2017-silence-breakers/). “There wasn’t a place for us to report these experiences.” Weinstein is said to have been working on counseling since the story first broke in October. “Mr. Weinstein is hoping that, if he makes enough progress, he will be given a second chance,” a spokesperson said at that time. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5260673/ashley-judd-sues-harvey-weinstein/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5260673/ashley-judd-sues-harvey-weinstein/"},"headline":"Ashley Judd Sues Harvey Weinstein, Says Her Career Opportunities 'Were Significantly Diminished'","datePublished":"2018-05-01T00:03:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:04:02.516Z","description":"\"My career was damaged because I rebuffed Mr. Weinstein's sexual advances\"","url":"https://time.com/5260673/ashley-judd-sues-harvey-weinstein/","keywords":["Harvey Weinstein","onetime","'me too'"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt44948325ba30661f/69892f2a656a3f8057bd44b9/ashley-judd-harvey-weinstein.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Aric Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/aric-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt44948325ba30661f/69892f2a656a3f8057bd44b9/ashley-judd-harvey-weinstein.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Time's Up - 2018 Tribeca Film Festival","caption":"Time's Up - 2018 Tribeca Film Festival","creditText":"Roy Rochlin—Getty Images for Tribeca Film Festival","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5260673/ashley-judd-sues-harvey-weinstein/","name":"Ashley Judd Sues Harvey Weinstein, Says Her Career Opportunities 'Were Significantly Diminished'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME Person of the Year 2017: The Silence Breakers","description":"For giving voice to open secrets, for moving whisper networks onto social networks, for pushing all of us to stop accepting the unacceptable, the Silence Breakers are the 2017 Person of the Year.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/jbtW5SvJ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-12-06T12:11:05.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/jbtW5SvJ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5260673/ashley-judd-sues-harvey-weinstein/","duration":"PT5M2S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5260673/ashley-judd-sues-harvey-weinstein/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
