In the aftermath of the jaw-dropping stories, Weinstein was promptly fired from The Weinstein Co., and his wife Georgiana Chapman announced she was leaving him.
The accusers include actresses, filmmakers, and numerous former employees of Weinstein, most of whom say that they hadn’t previously come forward due to the fear that Weinstein’s influence would get them shunned in the industry.
Others, like Rose McGowan, had taken legal settlements in court over their accusations.
For those who happened to miss the wall-to-wall news stories in recent days, a number of women have come forward with claims of sexual assault and harassment that Harvey Weinstein had put them through in his decades as a Hollywood power player.
