The Worst Celebrity Scandals of 2017

Harvey Weinstein Sexual Abuse Allegations

In October 2017, The New York Times and The New Yorker broke the news that dozens of women in the entertainment industry had accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape. Since then, more than 80 women have come forward accusing the producer of such acts. Weinstein has since been fired from his own company (The Weinstein Company) and expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and authorities in Los Angeles, New York City, and London have opened investigations into the disgraced producer.
