Mira Sorvino writes an op-ed about why she agreed to go on the record to The New Yorker:It is time we take we take our power back & end the culture of #sexualharassment and abuse! Why I came forward @TIMEhttps://t.co/TxtHS2KwW6

It has been a real struggle to come forward with my story. I have lived in vague fear of Harvey Weinstein for over 20 years, ever since the incidents I described to Ronan Farrow in the New Yorker. At the time I don’t think I even knew that what happened — him using business-related situations to try and press himself sexually on a young woman in his employ — qualified as sexual harassment.

I spoke to Blake Lively about Harvey Weinstein: "This cannot happen, should not happen, it happens in every industry"https://t.co/MmdHjYrezF

That was never my experience with Harvey in any way whatsoever, and I think that if people heard these stories … I do believe in humanity enough to think that this wouldn't have just continued. I never heard any stories like this — I never heard anything specific — but it's devastating to hear.
Robert Rodriguez calls Harvey Weinstein's behavior "truly disgusting" https://t.co/vgSlGi3q7Ypic.twitter.com/jOYqrIKhyr

I find the behavior of Harvey Weinstein truly disgusting, both what he did and how he covered his tracks, and it makes me wonder how many others can’t come forward and tell their full story because of legal and personal intimidation. His repulsive behavior was an abuse of power. Thankfully, he’s now discovering what true power is.

The truth is, there have been rumors circulating forever, I’ve known about them. I’ve certainly been quietly protected, without really ever being told why. I certainly was never allowed near a meeting with him on my own, and anything like that. In retrospect, I understand why, even if my representatives weren’t explicitly telling me.
Jamie Lee Curtis Calls Harvey Weinstein 'Brutish Thug' and Shares Her Own Sexual Harassment Story https://t.co/Jo9oPuWEJH
— People (@people) October 12, 2017
Perhaps this grotesque power play to ‘get some’ by this brutish thug of a man and the attempts by him, his lawyer, his board and famous friends to, once again, keep it under wraps and blame the victim will fail.
Perhaps the truth will out other sexual harassment, be it from a governor or a president or a presidential candidate or studio head or movie star or executive or anyone else complicit in this billionaire boys club bulls— that will come to an inglorious end.
