He added: “What Weinstein is being accused of is criminal. What he’s admitted to is unacceptable – in any industry.”
He said that he “applaud everybody speaking out”. He continued: “I understand the unwarranted shame, powerlessness & inability to blow the whistle. There’s a power dynamic that feels impossible to overcome.”
