Harvey Weinstein is facing dozens of civil lawsuits, in which women have filed compensation claims against him and have offered the women a new settlement of $3.5 million this month.

Earlier, Harvey Weinstein had settled a settlement with several women for 19 million, but the court rejected his settlement on a woman’s complaint, after which he offered the women an additional settlement.

The Oscar Academy has also suspended Harvey Weinstein on charges of rape and sexual exploitation of women, while several other film organizations have also taken action against him.

Reports stated that the Queen of Britain has annulled honorary civil commander award given to Harvey Weinstein a decade and a half ago.
