Michael Ovitz, co-founder of CAA, is required to complete his deposition in Julia Ormond's sexual assault lawsuit by December 18, a judge has ruled. Ovitz's deposition was abruptly terminated in June after he walked out, reportedly in response to questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Ormond's legal team, which includes Kevin Mintzer, Meredith Firetog, and Effie Blassberger, expressed satisfaction with the judge's decision, stating that Ovitz was "not entitled to storm out of the deposition" and is "not above the law."
