Following Weinstein’s sentencing, 24 Silence Breakers — women who have spoken out against sexual misconduct by the movie mogul and other men in power — released the following statement:
“Harvey Weinstein’s legacy will always be that he’s a convicted rapist. He is going to jail – but no amount of jail time will repair the lives he ruined, the careers he destroyed, or the damage he has caused.

It didn’t take long for the Silence Breakers to come forward and release a statement about New York Post‘s interview with the disgraced filmmaker Harvey Weinstein who made claims that he was a pioneer in making films for women and by women and express his feelings about being forgotten after 23 women came forward with accusations of sexual misconduct.
“Harvey Weinstein is trying to gaslight society again,” said the official statement from the Silence Breakers. “He says in a new interview he doesn’t want to be forgotten. Well, he won’t be. He will be remembered as a sexual predator and an unrepentant abuser who took everything and deserves nothing. He will be remembered by the collective will of countless women who stood up and said enough. We refuse to let this predator rewrite his legacy of abuse.”
The Silence Breakers include Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Barth, Zoe Brock,...
