Convict Harvey Weinstein finds the strength to sue for $500K from ‘Finding Neverland’

Weinstein follows suit

Manhattan Supreme Court.

A lawsuit just filed by prisoner Harvey Weinstein.

Given the vagaries of today’s legal system, felons get let out thanks to people like NY’s District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

And 9/11 programmers who instigated killing masses of Americans get offered plea deals. And Jeffrey Epstein, under supposed tight security in a prison cell, gets to commit suicide.

And in terms of convicts, they cannot vote for president but they’re allowed to start a lawsuit.

That’s Weinstein. Producer of more than 30 Miramax movies, including Oscar winners such as “Shakespeare in Love” starring Gwyneth Paltrow, plus seven Tony awards. In 2022 a convicted sex offender. Age 72, his aggravations are short. His document is only four pages.

Summary: summons with notice for contract and conversion. Defendants failed to pay a consulting fee and royalties owed to plaintiff for his work as a producer on the “Finding Neverland” play.

The plaintiffs are Harvey Weinstein, Weinstein Live Entertainment, Finding Neverland USA, National Artists Management Company and FNL Touring LLC.

The issue is “for Breach of Contract, Conversion and other causes of action which may be revealed during the course of discovery in relation to defendants’ failure to pay and account to Plaintiffs for monies with respect to a tour throughout the world excluding the United Kingdom.”

Long-lost boy

The suit’s focused on the musical version of Johnny Depp’s 20-year-old flick “Finding Neverland.” Items include:

A) Weekly fee equal to $5,750 prorated in partial weeks on the basis of eight performances a week.

B) Net profits equal to 25.75%.

Even though we don’t know the total production profits, it could net him as much as $465,750.

Harvey can now hardly walk. Or even survive these days. Much of his incarceration is spent in the prison hospitals. He has suffered from COVID.

Currently in Rikers, he is facing additional sexual cases against him in California. Yet he has the strength to institute a lawsuit.

Just the facts ma’am

Jeremy Murphy’s new book “Too Good to Fact Check: Flying the Skies With Stars, Scotch, and Scandal (Mostly Mine)” reports that Harrison Ford, once set for a filming, went to the wrong address.

And a stylist for Julianna Margulies’ coif needed rooster grease but ended up using chicken fat instead.

Hugh Grant’s snit fit when airlines lost his luggage. And Tom Selleck, on the National Rifle Association’s board, did not want to hold a gun.

Out at the end of the month, the tome catalogs his 10 years globe-trotting with celebs as a glossy mag’s top dog.

Murphy also tells tales of Neil Patrick Harris aboard the Orient Express, LL Cool J in Paris and Mary J. Blige.
