HarveyWeinstein — NEWSY — TheWriteFashion

Lupita Nyong'o, Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie and more have come out against producer, Harvey Weinstein amid sexual misconduct allegations.

Most recently, Lupita Nyong’o spoke out against the famed producer in an emotional op-ed published in The New York Times, the Oscar-winning actress shared a series of alleged “uncomfortable” encounters with Weinstein, dating back to her days at the Yale School of Drama.

Nyong’o now says, “What I am most interested in now is combating the shame we go through that keeps us isolated and allows for harm to continue to be done. I wish I had known that there were women in the business I could have talked to. I wish I had known that there were ears to hear me. That justice could be served. There is clearly power in numbers. I thank the women who have spoken up and given me the strength to revisit this unfortunate moment in my past.”

It wasn’t until now that Weinstein has spoken out. He specifically called out Nyong’o’s accusations, calling her out by her (first) name stating — as she had already done in her New York Times piece — that she was the one who invited him to New York to see her Broadway show.

Over fifty accusers have now spoken out against the disgraced mogul. Check out some of his other accusers below.

Gwyneth Paltrow

In an interview with the New York Times, Paltrow alleged that Weinstein — who gave her what would end up being her breakout role, as the title character in Emma — harassed her at the beginning of her career. She said that he invited her to his room at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for a meeting. After she arrived, she said that he placed his hands on her and suggested they move to the bedroom for massages. She said no and left. “I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,” she told the Times of the experience. Later, she told her then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt of the encounter. Pitt spoke to Weinstein about the alleged incident, and Weinstein "screamed" at Paltrow, she said, telling her not to talk to anyone else about it. At the time, she said, she felt she was “expected to keep the secret.”

Paltrow decided to come forward because she wants other women to feel less alone. “We’re at a point in time when women need to send a clear message that this is over,” she said. “This way of treating women ends now.”

Ashley Judd

Ashley Judd was one of the women who initally spoke out against Weinstein in an explosive expose published by The New York Times on Thursday. The actress claimed Weinstein showed up to their business meeting at a Los Angeles hotel wearing a bathrobe and later asked her to watch him shower. “I said no, a lot of ways, a lot of times, and he always came back at me with some new ask," Judd told the NYT. “It was all this bargaining, this coercive bargaining.”

Angelina Jolie

Jolie told the New York Times that she had a negative encounter with Weinstein, in which he allegedly harassed her in a hotel room, in the early years of her career, after the release of her film Playing by Heart. “I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did,” Jolie told the paper. “This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.
