Rose McGowen, one of the Charmed sisters, revealed shocking information when she came forward. Apparently, Harvey Weinstein’s whole cinema factory was in fact, a rape factory. She even disclosed, that on his daily meetings agenda, there has to be at least one ”for rape.” The actress expressed that she was never really able to live well after what he did to her 16 years ago.

In addition to McGowen, several other Hollywood icons came forward regarding the matter. Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie also confessed that they lived a bad experience with Weinstein when they were younger, as he assaulted both of them sexually.

He was the reason for the #MeToo Outbreak

Since all the published allegations by the New Yorker, at least 50 women came forward and reported Weinstein’s sexual assaults, in which 3 confirmed rapes. Harvey Weinstein who first started by denying, ended up ”apologizing for the trauma he caused these women” and took time off while being a therapist. However, just few weeks later, the board of the Weinstein company sacked Harvey, and considered the sexual assault allegations very serious. In addition, few days later, his wife left him and took the kids with her.

The Harvey Weinstein case triggered a rage among women not only in Hollywood, but worldwide. As more women started coming forward, it led to the outbreak of the #MeToo movement, that will later become global and make historical changes in women’s search for gender equality.

The 67-year-old Hollywood film producer was found guilty in a trial in New York last month and appeared in court today in a wheelchair. His lawyers appealed for leniency, saying even the minimum sentence of five years could be a "life sentence", but prosecutors argued he should be given the maximum for his "lifetime of abuse" and "lack of remorse".
