Ewa Sokola Sues Sister Kaja for Defamation Over Weinstein Trial Comments
Ewa Sokola claims her sister Kaja's public accusations caused loss of patients and referrals, damaging her cardiology practice and professional reputation, the lawsuit states.
- On Tuesday, Ewa Sokola filed a defamation lawsuit in Manhattan federal court against her sister Kaja Sokola, identifying Ewa as a cardiologist in Wrocław and Kaja as a psychotherapist and ex-model.
- Both sisters say they were assaulted in 2006, and after Weinstein's state trial earlier this year Kaja Sokola criticized Ewa Sokola's testimony, claiming it aided Weinstein's lawyers and omitted journals.
- The complaint details allegations that Kaja Sokola falsely accused Ewa Sokola of homicide, theft, falsification of medical records, sexual impropriety and colluding with Weinstein's defense, and repeatedly called her testimony a `betrayal`.
- The lawsuit alleges the statements have cost Ewa Sokola referrals and led to reductions in patients and employees at her medical practice, while subjecting her to public disgrace in Wrocław, Poland.
- Both sisters testified at Harvey Weinstein's trial earlier this year, which produced a split verdict involving Miriam Haley, and Weinstein remains unsentenced as Judge Curtis Farber is expected to rule on Jan. 8.
