Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino wrote a guest column for the Hollywood Reporter detailing what happened after she came forward with a story about her disturbing experience with Harvey Weinstein.

“Once I decided to tell my story in print, so that other women and girls would not be victimized by Harvey Weinstein, I felt an enormous peace wash over me — that I had the courage to tell the truth about a beast, and in doing so ended his dominion of intimidation that had lasted over two decades. It was a very empowering moment and I’m glad I did it.”
