It has not even been a year since the official start of the Me Too movement and Hollywood has been drastically affected. The people in Hollywood have finally started the conversation about sexual abuse within their industry. It began with Ashley Judd accusing Hollywood producer and owner of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, of sexual harassment in the New York Times. Ten days later, American actress, Alyssa Milano, posted a tweet on her Twitter account asking people to comment “me too” if they have ever experienced sexual harassment or assault. The following months had women coming forward not only to accuse men in Hollywood but in politics, in churches, and in many other position of power.

It is 2018, and for the first time men in power are facing consequences for the women (and men) they hurt. Weinstein was imprisoned and disgraced in the industry. Bill Cosby was recently sentenced to 3 to 10 years for drugging a raping a woman in 2004.

Me Too is not a movement that will fade out. As long as there is sexual assault in the world, there will be people who tweet using #metoo. It has been and will continue to force the movie industry to clean itself up and hopefully overtime create a safe environment for young actors and actresses to enter the business.
