Reading Time: < 1 minute

In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood stars, including actresses who have accused Harvey Weinstein of assault, expressed their disbelief and outrage after the former movie producer’s New York sex crimes conviction was overturned. Rosanna Arquette, Ashley Judd, Mina Sorvino, and other prominent figures in the industry spoke out following the decision by the city’s highest court to reverse Weinstein’s 2020 conviction for rape and sexual assault.

Weinstein, who is currently serving a 16-year rape sentence in California, has been ordered to face a new trial in New York. The news of the overturned conviction has reignited discussions surrounding the #MeToo movement and the challenges faced by survivors of sexual assault in seeking justice.

Actress Rosanna Arquette, a Weinstein accuser, expressed her disappointment, stating, “Harvey was rightfully convicted. It’s unfortunate that the court has overturned his conviction. As a survivor, I am beyond disappointed.” Ashley Judd, the first actress to come forward with allegations against Weinstein, called the decision unfair to survivors, emphasizing the importance of speaking out.

Other actresses, including Mina Sorvino, Katherine Kendall, and Rose McGowan, also shared their thoughts on social media, highlighting the ongoing failures of the justice system to protect victims of sexual violence. The reactions from Hollywood stars underscore the continued challenges faced by survivors in seeking accountability for perpetrators of sexual assault.

As the news spread, actress Amber Tamblyn summed up the sentiment, stating, “Let this be a reminder how rigged the American judicial system is against women and survivors of sexual violence.” The overturned conviction has sparked renewed calls for justice and support for survivors in the entertainment industry and beyond.
