A federal judge in California has thrown out actress Rose McGowan’s 2019 lawsuit against disgraced former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein after she missed a filing deadline this month.
U.S. District Court Judge Otis D. Wright II dismissed the lawsuit on Dec. 6 after McGowan—one of the first women to speak publicly about Weinstein—missed a deadline that had been extended for her. McGowan, who alleges that Weinstein assaulted her during the Sundance Film Festival in 1997, was acting as her own attorney after firing her attorneys in November.
