The Harvey Weinstein scandal came to light in October 2017 when The New York Times and The New Yorker published detailed investigations exposing decades of s*xual harassment and assault allegations against the powerful producer. Dozens of women, including well-known actresses, accused Weinstein of using his influence to exploit and silence them. The incident sparked the global #MeToo movement, encouraging survivors of abuse to come forward. Weinstein was eventually convicted of r*pe and s*xual assault in 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison. As of now, he faces additional charges and trials, marking a major shift in accountability in Hollywood.
