Court dismisses Rose McGowan’s RICO lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein and his lawyers
The federal judge dismissed the case after McGowan fired her attorneys and missed a court-ordered briefing deadline

Actor Rose McGowan’s RICO lawsuit against former film producer Harvey Weinstein—who is currently serving his 23-year prison sentence for rape and sexual assault—has been dismissed by a federal judge.
McGowan filed the RICO lawsuit against Weinstein and attorneys David Boies and Lisa Bloom in October of 2019, alleging the three organized a scheme to spy on her and undermine her accusations in an effort to prevent her from coming forward. Although Judge Otis D. Wright dismissed most of her claims in December 2020, he permitted McGowan to proceed with two fraud claims, and allowed her to amend the RICO allegations.
After amending the complaint, Wright still ruled that the allegations did not measure up to a racketeering or organized crime level on November 9.
