"Sexual violence is such a thief": Ashley Judd speaks out against overturn of Weinstein conviction

Salon  

Actress Ashley Judd spoke out against a New York court’s decision to overturn Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction, saying that “male sexual violence is such a thief." Judd, the first of numerous women to come forward with sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein, reacted to the top New York court’s decision to overturn the Hollywood producer’s conviction in an interview on CBS Mornings. The court’s 4-3 decision came down to testimony from a number of Weinstein’s alleged victims who were not included in the charges, which the ruling called “irrelevant, prejudicial, and untested.” Judd appeared alongside reporter Jodi Kantor, who reported on a series of allegations that would become part of the #MeToo movement. “The outcome of this case doesn’t change that.” Rose McGowan, another victim of Weinstein’s repeated sexual abuse of women in Hollywood, went to Instagram to share a message of support to women, captioning a video message, “they will never overturn who we are.” “To everyone out there fighting the good fight… you matter, I’m with you,” the "Jawbreaker" actress said.
