NEW YORK – Hollywood actor Mel Gibson recently commented on the sexual accusation wave running in the Hollywood industry and how it will bring about much needed change.
“Things got shaken up a little bit and there is a lot of light being thrown into places where there were shadows and that is kind of healthy. It’s painful, but I think pain is a precursor to change,” said Mr. Gibson.
Gibson’s statement came in light of the Harvey Weinstein’s incident where many women came forward and accused Harvey of sexual harassment/ assaults and rape. Weinstein’s spokesperson had said: “Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied.”
Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie are among the list of women to claim that Weinstein made unwanted sexual advances. Actor Rose McGowan and other women have accused the Hollywood producer of rape.
Following the list, actor Kevin Spacey, Brett Ratner, Dustin Hoffman and several other men of the industry came under fire with claims of sexual assaults.
