A Note on The Harvey Weinstein Scandal

The #MeToo Movement has shaped the past few years and helped many people to come forward with cases of sexual assault, but there has been many cases where the accused were innocent. Abuse of the #MeToo Movement is dangerous because there is not real proof, there is no real physical proof saying one is guilty. Because of the immense support from the movement, corruption can happen easily.

There are plenty of predators, like Harvey Weinstein, for whom the evidence is compelling, contemptible and overwhelming. But there are also those like Harold Ford Jr. who adamantly denies sexually harassing anyone — yet he was still fired from his job at Morgan Stanley. How does he move on and get his reputation back? It can really throw an obstacle in life for people, even ruin their whole life. It’s good that people are speaking up but there needs to be some sort of evidence.
