It was less than two months ago that the Hollywood producer, Harvey Weinstein, had allegations of sexual misconduct brought against him, and that opened up the floodgates. Numerous people have come forth to issue claims against actors, politicians, producers, directors, and many others, and it has shaken the world. Now, the list of accused public figures has grown considerably in the last couple of weeks, and Wednesday brought its fair share of accusations to add.

Things may have started with just one man, but they have escalated quickly.

On Wednesday morning, the world woke up to find out that Matt Lauer had been fired by NBC News after allegations of “inappropriate sexual behavior.” According to CNN, the information was first found out on Monday, and on Wednesday, the long-time Today show host was fired.

There is bound to be much more coming out regarding Lauer and the accusations, but there is already a ripple effect being felt throughout NBC. Still, he is not the only public figure who had accusations brought against him on Wednesday.

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Andrew Kreisberg, producer of The Flash and Supergirl, has been fired after allegations of sexual misconduct. The claims have come from “multiple women,” and the choice was made to fire Kreisberg, and the shows will have Greg Berlanti take on”additional responsibilities.”

The chaos continued this past week when Pixar and Disney Animation Studios head, John Lasseter, decided to take a six-month leave of absence after allegations were made against him.

It just doesn’t seem as if the list of public figures being accused is going to stop growing anytime soon, but it’s only been about two months. In just that short period of time, a rather lengthy list has been tallied, and people are simply wondering who will be named next.
