A 2017 Times exposé toppled Weinstein and triggered broader accountability

Evidence

In October 2017, investigative reporting in The New York Times revealed multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against Miramax producer Harvey Weinstein. Over the following months, high-profile actresses—including Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Mira Sorvino, Asia Argento, Gwyneth Paltrow, Annabella Sciorra, Daryl Hannah, Uma Thurman, and Angelina Jolie—came forward with stories of Weinstein’s abuses. The revelations toppled Weinstein’s career, leading to his expulsion from his own company and subsequent imprisonment on sexual misconduct charges.
