Haggis has been ordered to pay an additional $2.5 million in damages to publicist Haleigh Breest after a jury found him liable for raping her in 2013, bringing the total to $10 million.
reports. Now, an addition $2.5 million in damages has been ordered, bringing his total to $10 million.
“I’ve spent all the money I have at my disposal,” Haggis said outside of the courthouse. “I’ve gutted my pension plan, I’ve lived on loans, in order to pay for this case in a very naïve belief in justice.” Breest’s attorney Ilann Maazel said his claims of being broke aren’t to be trusted. The jury returned its verdict in the civil trial Thursday, Nov. 10, after about six hours of deliberation. Because it was a civil trial, Haggis was never facing prison time; however, on top of the $10 million in compensatory damages, he could also face extra punitive damages, which will be determined at a hearing on Monday.
Breest brought her suit in 2017, accusing Haggis of raping her and forcing her to perform oral sex on him at his apartment following a movie premiere in 2013. Breest pointedly decided to file the suit following Haggis’ comments condemning disgraced Hollywood mogul and convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein.
