#MeToo: Javier Muñoz, Alyssa Milano & Thousands More Share Stories of Sexual Harassment

If we've learned anything positive from Weinstein-Gate, it's that there is power in speaking out against sexual assault and harassment. It's also taught us that assault and harassment is pervasive inside and outside of Hollywood.

In the aftermath of the exposes on Harvey Weinstein's history of sexual violence toward women, actress Alyssa Milano, who starred on the TV show Charmed alongside Rose McGowan, asked that people speak out about their own experiences of abuse with the hashtag #MeToo.

Immediately, stories or reposts of the hashtag flowed onto social media that included posts from stars like Anna Paquin, Rosario Dawson, Javier Munoz and Debra Messing. Across Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, thousands joined the movement, shedding light on how pervasive sexual harassment and assault are for both women and men.

Below are a collection of tweets and stories from the hashtag.
