In March 2020, 68-year-old American producer Harvey Weinstein was convicted of harassment and violence and sentenced to 23 years in prison. From the very moment the first accusations against him were made in 2017, there has been a kind of wave of revelations in the United States. Many celebrities began to confess that they were harassed by other famous personalities. Moreover, not only men were on the list of the accused.

Harvey Weinstein

Many stars were accused of harassing Harvey Weinstein, but at the same time, not all were able to provide evidence of the producer's unworthy behavior. Nevertheless, during the trial, two episodes of the case were unconditionally proven, on the basis of which a sentence was passed, providing for a sentence of imprisonment for 23 years.

Mariah Carey

Of course, if there are any accusations against women, they are usually isolated. So, Michael Anello, the head of the company responsible for the safety of the performer, announced the attempts of the performer to seduce him, hiding behind a request for help with the luggage. Anello rejected the singer's claims, and later threatened her with legal proceedings for insulting him.

Placido Domingo

In the summer of 2019, several women at once announced the attempts of the famous opera singer to persuade them to intimacy. Despite the fact that Placido Domingo himself categorically did not plead guilty, the musicians' guild conducted its own investigation and considered it proven the fact of using his official position to satisfy his desires. 27 women immediately declared that they either themselves became the object of Domingo's claims, or were witnesses of his unworthy behavior. At the same time, one of the proofs was the story of the singer's touch to the hand and knee of an unknown woman, as well as an attempt to kiss her.

Kevin Spacey

The American actor and director was first accused of harassment by his colleague Anthony Rapp, who became a victim of Spacey at the age of 14. Later, another 15 people reported harassment by a celebrity. At the same time, given the gay orientation of Kevin Spacey, all accusations were made by young people. The prosecutor's office withdrew its charges due to the fact that there was only one real statement of harassment, but later the victim withdrew it.

Steven Seagal

The famous actor was accused by three women who claimed that Steven Seagal allowed himself to appear in one dressing gown during the interview, and even open it in front of journalists and actresses. At the same time, he could afford to send a nice colleague a note inviting him to spend the night with him. The actor himself, in response to the accusations, only said about his difficulties when working with the fair sex.

Katy Perry

The American singer did not comment on the accusations of harassment from actor and model Josh Kloss. The man talked about the indecent and aggressive behavior of the performer, who intended to seduce Kloss. A little later, journalist Tina Kandelaki announced Katy Perry's attempts during a closed presentation to persuade her to intimacy. Nevertheless, no one has filed official charges against the singer.

Charlie Sheen

They tried to accuse the actor and screenwriter of seducing a 13-year-old teenager who starred in the 1986 film Lucas. Dominic Brasia made a statement, but Charlie Sheen himself categorically did not admit his guilt, and Corey Hame, who allegedly became his victim, died of pneumonia back in 2010.

Jeffrey Tambor

The American comedian was accused of harassment by his assistant Van Barnes, makeup artist Tamara Delbridge and actress Trace Lisette. Jeffrey Tambor denied all the accusations, but found it necessary to apologize for his behavior, which may have caused someone discomfort, but he could behave aggressively only because of the inability to cope with his fits of anger, and not because of irrepressible desires.

Louis C. Kay

The American comedian has been repeatedly accused of unworthy and even aggressive behavior towards women, as well as of outright violence on his part. At first, the comedian called all the cases disclosed in the press rumors, but after that he confessed in several cases and repented, but did not apologize to the women.

James Toback

38 women immediately accused the director, screenwriter and producer in 2017 of harassment. James Toback did not limit himself to paying attention to young actresses during castings, he unceremoniously approached girls on the street, and then brought them to his hotel room or service trailer, where he behaved unworthily. After the first allegations were published in the newspaper, other victims of the director began to contact the Los Angeles Times, who soon turned out to be 357.

The profession of a fashion model in the USSR was not prestigious and low-paid, but even then some girls achieved success in this field. Now she would be called a top model, but then she was one of the most famous Soviet fashion models. Leka Mironova could receive much more than the official salary - 76 rubles, if I agreed to the offer to take part in a frank photo session and be more supportive of one of the members of the Central Committee. But the girl refused for which she had to pay.
