Harvey Weinstein court ruling is ‘clarion call’ for MeToo movement, says founder

The founder of #MeToo, Tarana Burke, has said the decision to overturn Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction is a “clarion call” for the movement.

“And I think that we felt, and a lot of us felt, that we were on a road to seeing a different America. And this moment makes it feel like we were wrong.”“I want you to hear this. This is not a blow to the movement. It is a clarion call. And we are prepared to answer that call.” Judd, 56, previously alleged she thought she was attending a breakfast hotel meeting in 1997, while filming the thriller Kiss The Girls, when Weinstein began pressuring her to give and receive massages and to watch him shower.

American actress Mira Sorvino, who previously made allegations against Weinstein and won an Oscar for Mighty Aphrodite, tweeted that she was “disgusted” at the justice system and “horrified”.British model and actress Cara Delevingne shared an article about the court ruling to her Instagram story and wrote: “This is truly heartbreaking.”
