Why is Woody Allen exempt from sexual assault allegations?
The filmmaker's adoptive daughter, Dylan Farrow, wants to know why
New York
THE NEW YORK TIMES expose in October alleging film producer Harvey Weinstein used his position to sexually harass and abuse aspiring young women sparked what Farrow calls a "revolution:" In the months since, dozens of prominent men in Hollywood, the media and the political sphere have resigned or been fired.
After Weinstein's "demise" came that of Mark Halperin. Then came Kevin Spacey, Louis CK, Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer. On Tuesday, Time magazine named The Silence Breakers as its 2017 Person of the Year, recognising the women (and some men) who came forward with stories of sexual abuse. The magazine called them "the voices that launched a movement".
