Hollywood sex scandal: See growing list of who’s accused of harassment, assault
More stories of “Me Too” are emerging in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal as some of Hollywood’s biggest names are being accused of sexual harassment and assault. The growing list of allegations include stories about actor Kevin Spacey, director Brett Ratner, Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman and former “Gossip Girl” star Ed Westwick.
Many have denied accusations of sexual misconduct, but fallout has prompted many studios and networks to sever ties with those accused. In some cases, law enforcement agencies have opened up investigations, including against Weinstein and filmmaker James Toback.
