List Of Every Public Figure To Be Accused Of Sexual Misconduct Since Harvey Weinstein
In the middle of October 2017, allegations of sexual misconduct came out against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, and they really haven’t stopped pouring out since. Famous names such as Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow have said that he also sexually harassed them, but the first claims did more than inspire others to come forward against Weinstein. Those first allegations paved the way for many others to reveal the sexual misconduct they suffered from other public figures.
Now, the list continues to grow almost daily with the latest name being that of Star Trek star George Takei. The Hollywood Reporter issued a report that Takei sexually assaulted a former model back in 1981, but he is just one of many names who has had these allegations brought against them.
While the majority of these allegations are still claims needing to be proven, some of the public figures are admitting to the errors of their ways. It’s almost as if the first claims coming out against Weinstein have given others the strength to come forth and reveal they were victims as well.
All of these sexual misconduct allegations have led to some being fired, appearances being cancelled, and even series such as House of Cards being almost scrapped entirely.
The details and situations may be different for everyone, but the allegations are real and have been brought to light in the past month. Some of those accused of sexual misconduct have denied the claims while others have admitted to them and some still have yet to have any comment.
The following list is simply a collection of those public figures who have had allegations of sexual misconduct brought against them since the first claims against Harvey Weinstein.

Sadly, this list is likely far from incomplete and is expected to grow, and the world is simply waiting and wondering who will be named next.
