Here’s What Ashley Judd Had To Say About Harvey Weinstein’s Arrest

Ashley Judd considers the arrest of Harvey Weinstein to be incredibly significant in the scope of the #MeToo movement. The actress described it as “resoundingly significant” as well as a “watershed” moment.

As it was previously reported, Judd took Weinstein to court earlier in the month on account of the supposed sexual harassment she endured while working with him.

According to Judd, she refused Weinstein’s sexual advances, and as a result, the embattled producer soiled her reputation and said she was a “nightmare” to work with, one of the main reasons she didn’t get hired in the “Lord Of The Rings” trilogy.

Additionally, Mira Sorvino made similar claims and Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, seemed to confirm that Harvey’s opinion influenced his decision not to cast the two actresses.

1 of 2: That Harvey Weinstein, a powerful man who thrived and flourished as he shattered and abused women in a culture of impunity was arrested and charged is resoundingly significant. It is a watershed event, an irreversible pivot away from tacit and explicit license to exploit

Nevertheless, the Double Jeopardy alum referred to Harvey as a “powerful man” in the Hollywood scene who did exceptionally well during his career but left a path of destroyed women in his wake.

As the world knows, the accusations from Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd were the focal ones to bring Harvey to justice, as the New York Times and The New Yorker published their respective exposés on them.

Judd claims Harvey would repeatedly try and get her to sleep with him or have sex in a coercive or threatening manner. And she said “no” many times, in many different ways, but Weinstein would continue and try to bargain in a transactional and coercive way.

to clarity about unacceptable behavior no longer being tolerated. Today, these images of Harvey in handcuffs are possible because of the voices, backbone, & determination, in spite of the unknown & retaliation, demonstrated by survivors & the journalists who reported our stories.

But it looks like it’s over for the husband of Georgina Chapman, as the disgraced Weinstein Company executive watched his company go bankrupt and had to walk himself into the New York Police Department precinct on Friday morning at 7:30 am.

During his arraignment, sketch artists drew pictures of him – because of the law barring photographs in a court of law in New York – that were likened by some social media commenters to Jabba The Hutt from the Star Wars films.
