"Now, Ewa Sokola is suing Kaja for defamation, alleging in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court that the psychotherapist and ex-model's public remarks amount to libel and are damaging Ewa's reputation and business as a cardiologist in Poland. Ewa Sokola says that her younger sister has made false statements subjecting her to public hatred, shame, contempt, ridicule, ostracism and disgrace in Wrocaw, Poland. She seeks unspecified damages."
"The judge declared a mistrial on the final charge, alleging Weinstein raped former actor Jessica Mann, after the jury foreperson declined to deliberate further. Weinstein has not yet been sentenced as a judge weighs a defense request to throw out the verdict after two jurors told Weinstein's lawyers that other jurors had bullied them into convicting him. Judge Curtis Farber is expected to rule on Jan. 8."
Two sisters testified in Harvey Weinstein's criminal proceedings, with Kaja Sokola accusing Weinstein of sexual assault and Ewa Sokola called as a witness. Ewa's testimony ultimately aided the defense and prompted a subsequent defamation lawsuit by Ewa against Kaja in Manhattan federal court. Ewa alleges Kaja's public remarks amount to libel and have harmed her reputation and cardiology business in Wrocaw, Poland, seeking unspecified damages. Weinstein faced a split verdict in June, including a conviction on one charge and acquittal on another, and a mistrial was declared on the final charge. A judge is expected to rule on post-verdict motions on Jan. 8.
