Michael Ovitz Storms Out of Deposition After Being Asked About Jeffrey Epstein
(snip)
Im not going to discuss anything about Jeffrey Epstein, he said. You can ask all the questions you want youre going to get no answers.
A few moments later, he announced, Im done with this, removed his microphone, walked out of the room, slammed the door, and left the building.
Ormonds attorneys are now seeking to have Ovitz held in contempt and that an arrest warrant be issued to ensure that he completes the deposition.
Ovitz has no plausible defense for his contemptuous conduct, wrote Ormonds attorney, Meredith Firetog, in a motion for sanctions.

Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein at Royal Lodge, the prince's private home in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The trio visited the Windsor mansion as part of his daughter Beatrice's masked ball 18th birthday celebrations in 2006, two months after a US arrest warrant had been issued for Epstein for the sexual assault of a minor.
It had previously been reported that Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein visited Windsor Castle for the event, but not that they had been hosted at Andrew's private home.
Andrew, who is facing increased scrutiny over his living arrangements in light of his relationship with Epstein, has not responded to a request for comment.

Unfortunately, his histrionics will create a Streisand Effect calling more attention to himself.
Quite surprising for someone who knows how media works.
Fry his ass!

Michael Ovitz, the co-founder of CAA, stormed out of a deposition on June 1 after being asked about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Ovitz was being questioned by a lawyer for Julia Ormond, the actress who has sued CAA for allegedly setting her up to be sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein in December 1995.
Ormonds attorneys have been seeking to take Ovitzs deposition for more than a year, and ultimately got a court order directing him to comply with their subpoena. According to a deposition transcript filed in the case, Ovitz showed up to testify at his attorneys office in New York. He spoke about his relationship with Weinstein, repeatedly calling him a bully, but became irate when asked about Epstein.
