In a massive relief for Harvey Weinstein, three women namely Louisette Geiss, Sarah Ann Thomas and Melissa Thompson have dismissed their claims against him.

These women had led the front of accusing the former Hollywood movie mogul of sexual misconduct. This change comes in the wake of a settlement plan that was approved in January by a Delaware judge overseeing the bankruptcy of The Weinstein Company.

Their complaint was aimed not only at <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/harvey-weinstein">Harvey Weinstein</a> but also board members of his former company as well as Miramax. At the time, US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected 17 of 18 claims — all but a sex trafficking count against Weinstein, later convicted of sex crimes and sentenced to 23 years in prison.

The Weinstein Co. henceforth worked with stakeholders on a settlement that included establishment of a $17 million sexual misconduct claims fund for victims. Under the settlement plan, a sexual misconduct claims examiner reviews each claim that's filed, along with the documents and statements offered in support of it, and assigns a "point award." Those points will be used to determine how much money each woman receives. Accusers get the choice of releasing or not claims against Harvey Weinstein, but those who don't will only receive 25 percent of their allotment from the victims fund.

Other accusers, meanwhile, have objected to the settlement and are now pursuing an appeal.

Salma Hayek is still dealing with the trauma that Harvey Weinstein gave her. Salma was one of several women in Hollywood who accused the producer of sexual misconduct back in 2017. 
 
In the recent interview with the Evening Standard, she shared her feelings and said, "The amazing thing is that I thought I had healed," she told the outlet.&nbsp;

"And then everything came out again and I realised I didn’t heal, I repressed and I coped, I adjusted, I went on, so there was a layer of healing because it didn’t stop me from growing. But it was very painful for a long time. I didn’t know there were so many other women affected and that it went so deep. It was very shocking. But the fact that we [took action] together made it really healing... I lived with that for long enough and I detach myself from it now."

Salma Hayek reveals she is still suffering from trauma caused by Harvey Weinstein

After almost three years after Weinstein Company declared bankruptcy, a judge&nbsp;confirmed a liquidation plan that provides a $17.1 million fund for Weinstein’s sexual misconduct victims.

According to Variety, the plan also provides $9.7 million to the former officers and directors of the Weinstein Co., allowing them to pay a portion of their legal bills over the last several years. The directors and officers — who include Weinstein’s brother, Bob, as well as James Dolan, Tarak Ben Ammar, and Lance Maerov — also received releases that absolve them of any potential liability for enabling Weinstein’s conduct.

US Bankruptcy Judge Mary Walrath approved the plan after a hearing in Delaware, saying that without the settlement, Weinstein’s victims would get “minimal if any, recovery.”

The liquidation plan wraps up a contentious and long-running legal fight over the remnants of Weinstein’s independent studio. The company collapsed in late 2017, following the disclosure of dozens of allegations of rape, sexual assault, harassment and other misconduct.

&nbsp;

The $17 million victims’ fund will be divided among more than 50 claimants, with the most serious allegations resulting in payouts of $500,000 or more. The settlement was put to a vote of Weinstein’s victims, with 39 voting in favor and eight opposed.

An attorney representing the objectors, argued Monday that the settlement fund is “meager” and that the deal deprives her clients of the opportunity to pursue Bob Weinstein and other directors in court.

“There are more than monetary considerations that my clients are seeking,” she said. “They are seeking a finding from a jury that holds all responsible parties accountable. That’s not just Harvey Weinstein.”

An earlier version of the settlement would have provided a $24.3 million payout to victims, including women who alleged they were abused in the “Miramax” era, which predated 2005. But Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected the deal, saying the class action suit that included the Miramax-era victims was not viable. The settlement was later revised to exclude Miramax, Disney and their insurers.

Weinstein’s lawyer&nbsp;Imran H. Ansari of Aidala, Bertuna &amp; Kamins sent&nbsp;a statement to The Hollywood Reporter that read, “While&nbsp;there are those who continue to rail against the settlement, that the court found acceptable today, the practical reality is that outside the settlement the plaintiffs face an uncertain financial recovery, with The Weinstein Company bankrupt, and Mr. Weinstein, who denies the claims against him, with a current and future financial state that is far from healthy,” he said. “Those&nbsp;yelling&nbsp;loudly seem to ignore, for whatever reason, that many parties have wanted this settlement to succeed, importantly, it is not just the Weinstein defendants, but the plaintiffs themselves, who likely recognize that it is the only route to a realistic recovery.”

Harvey Weinstein’s victims to be given $17 million payout: Court

Rose McGowan’s civil claims against Harvey Weinstein and his attorneys have been dismissed by a federal judge. She is, however, allowed to proceed with the argument that she was defrauded when she was tricked into revealing details of her memoir.

Rose McGowan filed the federal suit in October 2019 in which she accused the former media mogul <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/harvey-weinstein">Harvey Weinstein</a> and attorneys Lisa Bloom and David Boies of conspiring to discredit her and to suppress her claim that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her.

Rose retells that in 2016 and 2017 when she was preparing to come forward against Harvey Weinstei, she was approached by a woman she knew as Diana Filip, who purported to be an advocate for women. According to the suit, Filip gained Rose McGowan’s confidence and was able to see a draft of ‘Brave’, Rose McGowan’s memoir.&nbsp;

In the same, she accused Harvey Weinstein of assaulting her at the Sundance Film Festival in 1997.&nbsp;

In a ruling on Monday, Judge Otis Wright dismissed nine of the 11 claims in the complaint. Several of the claims were dismissed because the suit was filed after the two-year statute of limitations. The judge&nbsp;also rejected the civil RICO charge on the grounds that the alleged scheme to trick her into turning over a copy of her book did not constitute racketeering activity.

McGowan had also argued that the fraud caused her significant harm, including lost job opportunities, damage to professional relationships and mental health issues.

“Based on these allegations, the Court finds that McGowan adequately alleges she suffered concrete damages as a result of Defendants’ fraudulent conduct,” the judge wrote.

Disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein has not contracted the novel coronavirus while in prison, his spokesmen said on Thursday, but he is being closely monitored due to a number of other health issues.

Weinstein, 68, is serving 23 years in prison in New York after being convicted in February for sexual assault and rape. Weinstein, who pleaded not guilty at the trial, is appealing.

His health became a cause of concern earlier this week when it was reported that he was running a high fever and was being tested for the virus.

“We can report that Mr. Weinstein’s fever has dropped but is still being closely monitored. We can also report at this time that he does not have COVID-19,” Weinstein’s spokesman Juda Engelmayer and Craig Rothfeld, his health representative said in a statement on Thursday.

The statement added that Weinstein’s health was being closely monitored for underlying health issues that include a heart condition, high blood pressure and spinal stenosis.

No, jailed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein does not have COVID-19

Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is being closely monitored by medical staff in prison for fever.&nbsp; 
 
"At this time... we can neither confirm nor deny that Mr. Weinstein has tested positive for COVID-19," Juda Englemeyer, his publicist, and Craig Rothfeld, his Health Representative, said in a statement. 
 
"We can confirm that Mr. Weinstein has a fever and is being closely monitored by the excellent medical staff at Wende CF for which the entire legal defense team is grateful," Englemeyer added. 
 
Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison in March this year after he was found guilty of sexually molestation and rape. His attorneys had appealed for five years in prison citing his frail health and stating that anything more than that would be de facto life sentence. Weinstein was tranferred to a New York hospital hours after being sentenced as he complained of chest pains. He remained in the hospital for 6 six days.&nbsp; 
 
"It should come as no surprise that Mr. Weinstein has numerous maladies and conditions including a heart condition, high blood pressure and spinal stenosis," Englemeyer said in the statement. 
 
"As information becomes available that we are at liberty to discuss we will update everyone accordingly."

Senator Kamala Harris may have created history on Tuesday by becoming the first African and South Asian woman in the United States to appear on a national major-party ticket, but actress-activist Rose McGowan isn't too happy with her.

Harris has been named by Democrats <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-presidential-candidate-joe-biden-picks-indian-origin-senator-kamala-harris-for-us-vice-presidential-candidate-319835">Presidential candidate Joe Biden</a> as his running mate in the upcoming elections. Ever since then Harris has been in news, been congratulated world over and celebrated. 
 
However, McGowan criticized Harris over an old incident. Hours after the announcement was made, McGowan took to Twitter to voice her opinion on the senator and those who donated to her past campaigns.

Tagging Harris, McGowan wrote, "Did you return the money Weinstein gave you? @SenKamalaHarris How many predators bankroll you?" as she shared a tweet by Washington Post editor who revealed that President Trump and his daughter Ivanka had earlier donated to Harris's California attorney general re-election campaign.

A court has rules in favur of Ashley Judd with connection to Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment case as she can now pursue a claim against him as he held power over her career when he invited her to his room at a hotel in mid-1990s.&nbsp;

A three-judge panel reversed the lower court, which had thrown out the claim on the grounds that Ahsley Judd was not Harvey Weinstein’s employee at the time of the meeting.

Court ruling read: “(T)heir relationship consisted of an inherent power imbalance wherein Weinstein was uniquely situated to exercise coercion or leverage over Judd by virtue of his professional position and influence as a top producer in Hollywood. Therefore, the district court erred when it dismissed Judd’s sexual harassment claim.”

“That is, by virtue of his professional position and influence as a top producer in Hollywood, Weinstein was uniquely situated to exercise coercive power or leverage over Judd, who was a young actor at the beginning of her career at the time of the alleged harassment,” Murguia wrote. “Moreover, given Weinstein’s highly influential and ‘unavoidable’ presence in the film industry, the relationship was one that would have been difficult to terminate ‘without tangible hardship’ to Judd, whose livelihood as an actor depended on being cast for roles,” it read.

Ashley Judd had sued Harvey Weinstein in April 2018. She alleged that he had lured her to his hotel room, asked her to watch him shower and tried to give her a massage. She also sued for defamation and retaliation, claiming that after she rebuffed his advances, Weinstein effectively blacklisted her in the film industry.

Ashley Judd wins appeal in Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment suit

Harvey Weinstein’s victims of sexual assault are dropping out of the proposed class-action settlement and it could become a big deal if the number increases. According to various lawyers as per media reports, if a certain number of women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct prior to 2005 opt out of the settlement, then the whole victims’ compensation fund could fall flat.&nbsp;

The proposed agreement, which includes an $18.8 million victims fund, would resolve many civil claims against Weinstein, The Weinstein Co. and several of its directors and execs — none of whom have admitted any wrongdoing. Wigdor Law, which represents several women with claims against the now-jailed producer, immediately decried the deal as "a complete sellout of the Weinstein survivors."

As part of the proposed settlement, the parties are to submit a written agreement regarding women who could opt out of the deal. It would result in the insurance company's right to withdraw from the settlement. If any of those parties withdraw, the whole settlement is null and void and the cases pick back up where they left off in court.&nbsp;

Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-court-sentences-harvey-weinstein-to-23-years-in-prison-285682">23 years in prison</a>&nbsp;for sexual assault and rape conviction.&nbsp;Weinstein was found guilty of a criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree on February 24, 2020.

Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse victims seek secrecy for opt-out agreement

Harvey Weinstein got convicted on the charges of sexual abuse and rape earlier this year after several women accused him of sexual abuse, harassment and rape. The victims have now been handed over an $18.875 million settlement with Harvey Weinstein, The Weinstein Company Holdings and certain former officers, directors and employees of TWC.

The plaintiffs had filed their motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement which if approved by the court, will create a victims’ fund allowing all women who were abused by Harvey Weinstein under certain circumstances to make claims for damages in a confidential and non-adversarial process.

This was originally filed in 2017 alleging that the former producer was a serial sexual harasser and abuser, and the various companies with which he was affiliated, as well as certain respective current and former officers and directors, failed to stop or prevent his actions in violation of federal and state law.

Elizabeth Fegan of FeganScott, one of the firms leading the case said, “This settlement is the culmination of several years of hard work by survivors who not only initiated the #MeToo movement around Weinstein, but also used their platforms to seek justice for all of those who were afraid to come forward for fear of retaliation in Hollywood. The plaintiffs’ use of the class action to negotiate a confidential process where all survivors can apply for meaningful relief was truly selfless and a victory for all women in Hollywood.”

Sexual abuse victims of Harvey Weinstein win $19 million settlement

For anyone who thought that the worst was over for Harvey Weinstein, there’s a new lawsuit against him that claims that he raped four more women. This, &nbsp;including one woman who was 17 at the time of her attack.&nbsp;

According to new court documents filed in New York, four more women have alleged sexual assaults that occurred between 1984 and 2013.&nbsp;

Among those who have accused him, a 43 year-old woman alleges Weinstein raped her in 1994, when she was 17. The woman was just starting out in the entertainment industry and was recruited by one of Weinstein's associates "under the guise of doing business." When she went to meet the disgraced mogul at his hotel room, she saw him standing naked and insisted that to make it big in the industry, she had to "sexually gratify him." She was then "forced to remove her clothes" as he raped her.&nbsp;

As for why she didn’t tell anyone, Harvey Weinstein had threatened her that she would be physically tracked down and he would “physically harm her and her family."

A second woman, 70, alleges Weinstein raped her in 1984 when she was 34. The woman claims the incident happened in France during the Cannes Film Festival. She claims she accompanied a friend of hers, who worked with Weinstein in foreign sales, to a meeting with the producer. She alleges the mogul led her back to one of his suites at the Hotel Barrière Le Majestic in Cannes and "pinned her against the suite’s front door," before sexually assaulting her. The woman claims Weinstein threatened her and told her to keep quiet about the incident after letting her go.

A third woman, 38, alleges Weinstein raped her 2008 &nbsp;when she was 26. The woman claims Weinstein "scouted" her while the two were at Cipriani’s in New York City and assured her that he would connect her with powerful players that could "take her career to the next level."

The suit states: "There is no doubt that Robert Weinstein knew, or should have known, that his brother was a dangerous predator likely to sexually abuse other women like Plaintiffs given that he witnessed his brother’s behavior; received direct and indirect verbal and written complaints made by and on behalf of female victims and/or employees of Miramax who were sexually abused by Harvey Weinstein."&nbsp;

Weinstein has been accused of rape and sexual assault by more than 100 women.&nbsp;

Harvey Weinstein raped four more women according to new lawsuit

Harvey Weinstein was charged in Los Angeles on Friday with a third sexual assault case, and prosecutors there said they have started the process of seeking his extradition from New York, where the former film producer is serving prison time for rape. 
 
The onetime Hollywood mogul, who tested <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/harvey-weinstein-free-of-coronavirus-symptoms-spokesman-says-291724">positive</a> for the coronavirus soon after being incarcerated in upstate New York but has since recovered, was newly charged with a single felony count of sexual battery by restraint. 
 
The 68-year-old had already been charged in Los Angeles with rape, sexual penetration by force and forcible oral copulation for an alleged encounter with one woman, and with sexual battery of a second woman, both in February of 2013.

The latest case stems from an incident that occurred in May 2010 at a Beverly Hills hotel, the Los Angeles County District Attorney`s Office said in a statement accompanying the amended five-count criminal complaint that contained the new charge. 
 
Weinstein`s spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, declined to comment until he was able to reach Weinstein`s lawyers. Weinstein`s attorneys could not immediately be reached by news agency.

The revised criminal complaint filed on Friday says Weinstein touched "an intimate part" of the victim while she was restrained against her will by the film producer and an unnamed accomplice. 
 
None of the three women cited as Weinstein`s accusers is identified in court papers. 
 
The third accuser was interviewed by law enforcement in October as a possible corroborating witness in other complaints, and provided detectives last month "with information confirming that the assault took place within the 10-year statute of limitation," prosecutors said in their statement. 
 
The district attorney`s office also announced on Friday that two other cases involving Weinstein were declined for prosecution "because the victims did not want to testify against the defendant in this case."

Prosecutors in Los Angeles have initiated a request for temporary custody of Weinstein from New York state as they begin the extradition process, the statement said.

He is to be arraigned on the Los Angeles charges once he arrives. 
 
If convicted as charged in the revised complaint, Weinstein faces up to 29 years in prison, according to the statement. 
 
He was sentenced on March 11 in Manhattan criminal court to 23 years in prison for sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi and raping Jessica Mann, an onetime aspiring actress. His conviction was hailed as a victory for the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct by powerful men.

Harvey Weinstein hit with third sexual assault case in Los Angeles

Harvey Weinstein, who is serving a prison sentence for rape, has no symptoms of the coronavirus, his spokesman said on Thursday, more than two weeks after a union official for corrections officers said the former movie producer <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-harvey-weinstein-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-in-new-york-prison-287972">had tested positive.</a>

“As of now, it’s been 14 days since reports of concern from people inside the prison, and he has no symptoms and no issues,” Weinstein spokesman Juda Engelmayer said.

Weinstein, 68, was sentenced on March 11 for sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi and raping Jessica Mann, a onetime aspiring actress.

Michael Powers, head of the state corrections officers union, said on March 22 that Weinstein had tested positive for the coronavirus, which causes the respiratory illness COVID-19.

At the time, Powers said Weinstein had been placed in isolation at Wende Correctional Facility, the maximum security prison east of Buffalo, New York, where Weinstein is serving a 23-year sentence. Powers said he was concerned for corrections officers, who he said lacked protective equipment.

Powers could not be reached for comment on Thursday.

“I don’t know the exact status of his medical condition,” Arthur Aidala, a lawyer for Weinstein, told Reuters on Thursday. “But when I speak with him he sounds fine.”

In a statement on March 23, Weinstein’s defense team would neither confirm nor deny whether Weinstein had tested positive for the coronavirus. They said statements made about his health had not been authorized by the Department of Corrections and could be a violation of privacy regulations.

State prison officials have said they cannot comment on any individual prisoner’s medical record.

Weinstein was one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers, known for transforming the independent film industry. He produced the Academy award winner “Shakespeare in Love” and was responsible for other acclaimed films including “Pulp Fiction,” “The English Patient” and “Gangs of New York.”

Following his March sentencing, Weinstein spent time at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan for heart problems. He arrived in Wende on March 18 from New York City’s Rikers Island jail.

Imran Ansari, another of Weinstein`s lawyers, on Thursday declined to comment on Weinstein`s coronavirus status but said Weinstein remains in the prison`s medical unit for treatment of various conditions he was suffering from prior to his arrival at Wende.

Harvey Weinstein, who is serving a prison sentence for rape, has no symptoms of the coronavirus, his spokesman said on Thursday, more than two weeks after a union official for corrections officers said the former movie producer had tested positive. In pics: Harvey Weinstein Timeline: Downfall of Hollywood producer from #MeToo to 23 years jail term "As of now, it`s been 14 days since reports of concern from people inside the prison, and he has no symptoms and no issues," Weinstein spokesman Juda Engelmayer said. Weinstein, 68, was sentenced on March 11 for sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi and raping Jessica Mann, an onetime aspiring actress. Michael Powers, head of the state corrections officers union, said on March 22 that Weinstein had tested positive for the coronavirus, which causes the respiratory illness COVID-19.

Powers said he was concerned for corrections officers, who he said lacked protective equipment. ' Powers could not be reached for comment on Thursday. “I don’t know the exact status of his medical condition," Arthur Aidala, a lawyer for Weinstein, told Reuters on Thursday. "But when I speak with him he sounds fine.” In a statement on March 23, Weinstein’s defence team would neither confirm nor deny whether Weinstein had tested positive for the coronavirus. They said statements made about his health had not been authorized by the Department of Corrections and could be a violation of privacy regulations. State prison officials have said they cannot comment on an individual prisoner`s medical record. Weinstein was one of Hollywood`s most powerful producers, known for transforming the independent film industry. He produced the Academy award winner "Shakespeare in Love" and was responsible for other acclaimed films including "Pulp Fiction," "The English Patient" and "Gangs of New York." Following his March sentencing, Weinstein spent time at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan for heart problems. He arrived in Wende on March 18 from New York City`s Rikers Island jail. Weinstein`s conviction was hailed as a victory for the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct by powerful men. More than 100 women, including famous actresses, have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct stretching back decades. He has denied the allegations, saying any sex was consensual. Weinstein faces separate sexual assault charges in Los Angeles.

Harvey Weinstein transferred to New York state prison

It was a historic win for women of the world as disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-court-sentences-harvey-weinstein-to-23-years-in-prison-285682">sentenced to 23 years in prison </a>yesterday night. Convicted for rape and sexual assault against two women, Harvey’s sentencing sent a wave of cheer among all the women who came out against him.&nbsp;

But soon after the sentence was pronounced, Harvey started experiencing “chest pains” according to his spokesperson and was immediately sent to hospital.&nbsp;

Speaking to media, Weinstein’s spokesman, Juda Engelmayer said, “He was having chest pains and the Rikers staff decided for safety to send him back to Bellevue now. He will be evaluated and likely will stay overnight. We appreciate the care and concern of the Department of Corrections officers and staff.”

This happened last month too when he was being taken to Rikers jail after being found guilty of the crimes, he started experiencing heart palpitations and high blood pressure, one of his attorneys told Fox News at the time.

According to reports, Harvey Weinstein was put on a&nbsp;stretcher -- a precautionary measure and was taken to Bellevue Hospital.&nbsp;

As for the ruling,&nbsp;Justice James Burke handed the sentence to Weinstein after prosecutor Joan Illuzzi asked the judge to impose 25 years or "near" 25 years in prison for his conviction on a charge of criminal sexual act in the first degree involving Haleyi and to impose a consecutive sentence for the third-degree rape conviction involving Mann.

The defense team had pleaded for a minimum of five years behind bars.

Harvey Weinstein experiences 'chest pains' post sentencing, sent to hospital

As film producer Harvey Weinstein starts a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-court-sentences-harvey-weinstein-to-23-years-in-prison-285682">23-year sentence</a> in New York for rape and sexual assault, the cultural revolution that his downfall fueled in workplace ethics, Hollywood's casting couch culture, and in dating, is resonating on television and in the movies.&nbsp;

In 'The Assistant,'&nbsp;a young woman grows suspicious of the behavior of her movie mogul boss, but her fears are ignored while in 'The Morning Show,'&nbsp;the fallout after a popular television show anchor is accused of sexual harassment was explored. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-harvey-weinstein-experiences-chest-pains-post-sentencing-sent-to-hospital-285722">Also read:&nbsp;Harvey Weinstein experiences 'chest pains' post sentencing, sent to hospital</a>

Then in the awards season film 'Bombshell', the true story of women fighting sexual harassment at Fox News was addressed.

Speaking about 'Bombshell'&nbsp;back in December, producer and actress Charlize Theron said "When this story (Bombshell) broke it was only the tip of the iceberg and then two years later we find ourselves with Harvey Weinstein, with all these allegations of so many men in powerful positions taking advantage of that position but that wasn't the case when this story broke so I feel like we're slowly exposing that giant piece of ice underneath and I think there's going to be more. I think we've started something that's ignited a conversation and a need for women to really share their truth that is unstoppable right now."

Two years into #MeToo, pop culture has moved beyond accusatory headlines to explore the fallout of sexual misconduct, those who suffer from it, and those who commit it.

Many of the new shows are written, produced or directed by women. Men are not always portrayed as monsters and women are often seen as more than traumatized victims.

Writer and director Kitty Green described 'The Assistant,'&nbsp;now playing in US&nbsp;movie theaters, as about predatory bosses, wherever they come from. She based the film on interviews with more than 100 women working in industries ranging from Hollywood to tech and engineering.

"A lot of men come out (of watching the film) feeling very uncomfortable," said Green. "I think a little bit of discomfort is what we need right now if we want things to change. We need people to interrogate their behaviors and the way things were able to go on for so long."

"Promising Young Woman," arriving in U.S. movie theaters in April, takes a different tack. It's a black revenge comedy starring Carey Mulligan as a woman who ruthlessly turns the tables on the bad behavior of both men and women.

Director Emerald Fennell, who also wrote the script, said the film goes beyond #MeToo to provide a wider look at sexist culture that has been in play for decades.

"There's nothing in it that isn't extremely commonplace," said Fennell. "I'm much more interested in our culture and thinking, how are we all part of this awful knot that we need to unpick?"

The Apple TV+ series 'The Morning Show,'&nbsp;produced and directed by women, was set around the personal and professional earthquake that followed the firing of a likeable anchor, played by Steve Carell, on a national television show. One of the women who is silenced by network executives when she reports his behavior later commits suicide.

Reese Witherspoon, who, alongside <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/jennifer-aniston-should-be-killed-wrote-harvey-weinstein-in-a-2017-email-285599">Jennifer Aniston</a>, acts as executive producer, said before the television show launched, "I think jumping into a cultural conversation is so rich. And particularly as television and movies help us synthesize the things we're seeing on TV, and give us a human perspective. And I'm particularly grateful to the men who joined us on this creative journey, like Steve Carell and Mark Duplass and Billy Crudup, because it's a conversation that needs to be had by men and women both. So, we had a very gender-balanced creative team that was really important to us."

Movie "Bombshell, starring Charlize Theron and television series 'The Loudest Voice,'&nbsp;starring Russell Crowe, are based on multiple sexual harassment allegations in 2016 at Fox News that led to the ouster of founder Roger Ailes. Ailes denied the accusations and died

Theron said, while promoting the film, "I think the complexities of all of this stuff is finally coming forward and I think for me, that's really optimistic because I feel like that's ultimately what it's going to take to get to the crux of the problem."
