MONTRÉAL — Just for Laughs founder Gilbert Rozon says the nine women suing him for sexual assault are motivated by money.
The cross-examination of the disgraced former comedy mogul began this morning at his civil trial in Montreal, where he’s being sued for nearly $14 million.
He told the plaintiffs’ lawyer the women had “invented a truth” for financial gain and said their stories have changed over time.
Rozon, who started the comedy festival in the 1980s, says the women who testified against him are part of a coalition and influenced each other.
