#myharveyweinstein: an agent put his hand down my pants on my first trip to LA, while telling me I wouldn’t make it if I was out. I was 18.

Proudly joining #WomenBoycottTwitter for the next 24 hours even though Instagram doesn't properly capture my tone.

Weinstein's actions are revolting & heartbreaking. Worse: he's not the only one guilty of such terrible trespasses in this craft we love.
