Casey Affleck Files to Move sex lawsuit to Arbitration

Arbitration? Looks like someone’s tit got caught in the proverbial wringer with the let’s make this go away in private strategy. Back story: www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=43126

from www.torontosun.com – A lawyer representing Casey Affleck filed a request on Wednesday asking for the sexual harassment case against the actor to be moved away from the court system and into arbitration.

Ben Affleck’s brother is being sued for $2 million by Amanda White, a producer on his documentary I’m Still Here, which follows actor Joaquin Phoenix’s attempts to become a rap star.

White filed suit last week alleging she endured “uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace” while making the movie. The producer has a list of accusations, which include sexual harassment, breach of oral contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and claims she is still owed money for her work on I’m Still Here.

A lawyer for the movie immediately hit back at the allegations, saying, “The complaint will be vigorously defended and cross-claims will be filed against her.”

And now Affleck’s attorney, Marty Singer, has filed legal papers asking for the case to be resolved by arbitrators and away from the Los Angeles courts. The request claims White signed a contract agreeing to settle all disputes quietly “in arbitration”.

According to TMZ.com, White’s lawyers deny their client ever signed such an agreement.

from www.abcnews.go.com – LOS ANGELES – Casey Affleck is already moving to squelch those allegations of sexual harassment.

The actor/filmmaker, who was sued Friday for sexual harassment by a producer on his upcoming documentary “I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix,” filed a motion Wednesday seeking to move the case from the very public Los Angeles Superior Court to private arbitration. Affleck says Amanda White signed an agreement with an arbitration provision requiring that all disputes be resolved quietly.

That’s an interesting move, considering that White argues in her complaint that one of the reasons she sued is because she never got a written contract for her producing services.

Regardless, litigator Marty Singer has taken over the case from the production’s lawyer Michael Plonsker, who issued an initial statement on Friday denying the charges and vowing to countersue White. That move makes sense: Singer has represented Affleck’s brother Ben in past cases.

White’s $2 million suit alleges she was forced to endure debauched behavior during production of “I’m Still Here,” including “uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace” and an impromptu shoot in a Las Vegas hotel room filled with hookers and transvestites.
