New York Archdiocese Sees Almost $1 Billion Settlement for Abuse Victims

The Archdiocese of New York has proposed a settlement approaching $1 billion to about 1,300 survivors of clergy abuse under the state’s Child Victims Act, to be paid in two installments ($615 million and $185 million) within 15 months and subject to full survivor agreement. The deal would create a trust for victims, require ongoing updating of a list of credibly accused clergy on the archdiocese website, pause related litigation, and comes amid a separate dispute with insurer Chubb over payouts. Archbishop Ronal d Hicks expressed cautious optimism about the proposal.

Spacey Confirms Sexual Compulsive Diagnosis Amid House of Cards Insurance Trial

Kevin Spacey testified in a California civil trial over an insurance claim tied to the House of Cards hiatus, confirming a 2017 diagnosis of “sexual compulsive behavior” after voluntary rehab at The Meadows. He read the psychiatric summary aloud, said there was no medical basis to challenge the diagnosis, and defended the treatment aimed at addressing sexual behavior and boundaries, while disputing certain doctors’ notes. The case pits Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company against Spacey’s former show's production company over coverage and losses, with Spacey having previously been involved in arbitration that led to a $31 million payment (reduced in a later settlement) in exchange for medical records and testimony.

The dispute over pay rates has forced many New Yorkers to find new doctors or risk paying out-of-network prices, particularly impacting pregnant patients and those receiving cancer care. Mount Sinai sought significantly higher prices, but UnitedHealthcare refused, leading to the impending removal of Mount Sinai affiliated doctors from the network starting March 22.
