The Moment Weinstein Accusers Ashley Judd and Mimi Haleyi Meet at Women’s Media Center Awards

In her acceptance speech for the Truth to Power award, Judd recounted her alleged incident with Weinstein — which she says took place over 20 years ago when she met the producer at his hotel for what she believed was a business meeting. Instead, she claims she repeatedly had to fend off his advances...We’ve been able to talk about how perpetrators are shameless and they put their toxic shame onto their victims and we internalize it and take it around with us,” she continued. “Until we say wait a minute, that was never my shame in the first place I’m going to put it back where it belongs which is on the sexual predator.”
