#AfterMeToo: 12 Accusers Share What Happened Next, From Firing to More Trauma

Since last October, dozens of Hollywood and media’s most visible, powerful players have fallen from their positions, publicly disgraced in the wake of #MeToo accusations. At least 556 high-profile people have been accused of sexual misconduct since the start of October 2017, when explosive reports first broke of decades of sexual misconduct by Hollywood powerhouse Harvey Weinstein, according to data compiled by the New York-based crisis consulting firm Temin & Co. That’s a 10-fold increase over the previous 12 months. But what has happened to the women and men who unearthed their own deepest and most painful secrets? Where are the accusers now? Almost a year after the Weinstein scandal blew up, TheWrap spoke to a dozen women and men who have come forward with their own harrowing stories of sexual abuse and harassment by some of the biggest names in media, politics and entertainment. The act of coming forward — sometimes years after the event — has taken its toll.
