#MeToo the Movement

In the entertainment industry, one of the biggest fears is to be placed on one of the biggest Hollywood's mogul's black list. So actors and actresses learn the key to not being placed on that list - to keep some matters unspoken. But how can the average human do that when it effects who they are so deeply and possibly others?

  The Movement #MeToo has taken the Internet by storm. This phenomenon started after allegations of Hollywood's tycoon, Harvey Weinstein,

been accused of sexual mmisconduct, harassment and rape towards actors and actresses he has worked with. Some of the actors that have come out are : Gwyneth Patrol, Asia Argento, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong, Rossana Arquette, even actor Terry Crews and about a dozen more. 

 

However, actress Alyssa Milano rebooted the #MeToo movement that was created about 10 years ago by African American woman, Tarana Burke, who is also the founder of Just Be Inc to help young minority women stand up against sexual assault.

Whoever created or whenever it was created, hashtag 'me too' has social media buzzing. With thousands of women and men posting #MeToo on their pages and sharing their personal stories. Most of their stories conclude as the assault taking place by someone with power, promising more, just as Harvey Weinstein promised to these aspiring actors.

Weinstein has been removed from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts  and Sciences, however, still no appearances in court.

This distasteful event have many questioning the justice system and those with power.

But this should not stop anyone from speaking up and against sexually harassment . . . You never know who too is crying for help. #MeToo
