The jury in the trial that lasted for two weeks and was held in New York found him responsible on all three counts attributed to him. The plaintiff, a PR woman named Hayley Brissett, alleged that the incident took place at Haggis’ home in 2013, after a movie premiere. She claims that he forced her to have sex, even though she expressed complete opposition to it.

On the other hand, the 69-year-old Haggis, who as I remember wrote the scripts for extremely successful films such as “Million Dollar Baby” and “Crash”, which he also directed, continues to flatly deny the accusations against him. He claimed that everything that happened between them was with the full consent of Brist. In addition to her, claims were made against Haggis by three other women during 2018.
