Here’s a preview:
New York’s highest court overturned disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction for sexual assault on Thursday.
The court of appeals ruled four-to-three that alleged victims who weren’t involved in the charges against Weinstein, now 72, should not have been allowed to testify.
Ashley Judd was the first actor to come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against the former movie mogul. She said she was planning her summer vacation to Yellowstone National Park when she heard the conviction was overturned.
“What I want to note is male sexual violence is such a thief,” Judd said in a live interview with “CBS Mornings.” “First, they rape us and then they steal our time. Because I was having a great morning and now I have to invest in talking about how not only is Harvey Weinstein still guilty, but we have institutional betrayal, which is a real thing.”
