Sister Sues Sister Over Weinstein Trial Testimony
NEW YORK – A legal battle has erupted between two sisters who both testified at Harvey Weinstein's recent criminal trial. Kaja Sokola, who accused the disgraced movie mogul of sexual assault, is now facing a defamation lawsuit filed by her sister, Ewa Sokola.
The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, alleges that Kaja Sokola's public statements following the trial constitute libel and have damaged Ewa Sokola's reputation and business as a cardiologist in Poland. Ewa Sokola claims her sister made false statements that have subjected her to public scorn and ridicule. She is seeking unspecified damages.
The sisters' testimonies were central to the trial. Kaja Sokola testified that Weinstein forced her into oral sex in a Manhattan hotel. Ewa Sokola was called as a witness to support her sister's claims but ultimately provided testimony that aided the defense.
Following the trial, Kaja Sokola criticized her sister's testimony, claiming it undermined her own account. She also accused her sister of omitting certain details from her testimony, including entries from a journal. The lawsuit further alleges that Kaja Sokola made additional false accusations against her sister, including claims of homicide, theft, and professional misconduct.
The lawsuit asserts that Kaja Sokola's statements have negatively impacted Ewa Sokola's medical practice, leading to a loss of referrals, patients, and employees, while also damaging her professional standing.
The trial itself resulted in a split verdict. Weinstein was convicted of one count of sexual assault but acquitted on a charge related to Kaja Sokola's allegations. A mistrial was declared on a third charge. Weinstein's sentencing is pending, and a judge is currently considering a defense request to overturn the verdict.
BNN's Perspective: This case highlights the complex and often painful dynamics that can arise within families, especially when dealing with high-profile legal proceedings. While the details of the accusations are serious, the focus on the sisters' relationship adds another layer of complexity to the Weinstein saga. It underscores the potential for personal conflicts to emerge even in the wake of a major legal battle.
