This past Thursday, October 19th, Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o joined the ranks of women coming forward with stories of sexual harassment and abuse at the hands of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
To say her story is deeply unsettling would be an understatement:
"Last year she sent a personal invitation 2 Mr. Weinstein 2 see her in her Broadway show ‘Eclipsed.'”-Passive aggressive victim blaming https://t.co/R84EZsD9SP
And many theorized why Weinstein would weigh in this time when he hadn't before...
I find it bizarre that Lupita, the only black actress who has shared her harassment story of HW, he issues a response. But not 2 any others. https://t.co/dqiWegQGFH
Even at what should be the lowest point in his life, he doesn’t want the world to believe that he tried to sexually assault a Black woman. https://t.co/OI7WLmUTkf
This is just the latest in a longstanding pattern:
ALL women, don’t ignore Weinstein’s questioning of the woman of color. This is what WOC face everyday. We are discredited. #Weinsteinhttps://t.co/uN6wfscCfQ
Weinstein has been fired from his job at the Weinstein company, expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, and is now being investigated for sexual assault by the LA Police Department.
