Rose McGowan sues Harvey Weinstein and an Israeli intelligence firm 

(JTA) – On Oct. 23, actress Rose McGowan filed a federal lawsuit against the Jewish film producer, who has been accused of harassment and assault by dozens of women – along with his former attorneys David Boies and Lisa Bloom and their firms. The Israeli company Black Cube also was named. McGowan claims the defendants used illegal methods in an effort to prevent her from accusing Weinstein of rape in 2017.  In 2017, Ronan Farrow reported for the New Yorker that Weinstein had hired BlackCube to spy on McGowan and others in an attempt to suppress allegations against him. Phyllis Kupferstein, a lawyer for Weinstein, denied the accusations and called the actress “a publicity seeker,” according to the Associated Press (AP). The AP report did not specify what damages McGowan was seeking in the suit, which was filed in Los Angeles District Court.
