Other actresses who have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment and abuse have also spoken out. Oscar winner Mira Sorvino wrote that she was “shocked” and “disgusted by a justice system that leans towards predators and not victims”.
Actress Rose McGowan says in a video: “No matter what they take away, they can’t take away who we are and what we know, what we’ve been through and what we can achieve in this life.” “We are not victims. We are people wounded by evil.”
Actress Rosanna Arquette said to The Hollywood Reporter: “Harvey was rightly convicted”. “It is unfortunate that the court overturned his conviction. As a survivor, I am beyond disappointed.”
Actress Katherine Kendall is “stunned”. “This is a terrible warning that victims of sexual assault are simply not getting justice. I feel completely let down by the justice system at this time.”
Tarana Burke, credited as the founder of #MeToo, said “moments like these highlight why movements like #MeToo are necessary.”
