Weinstein effect

The Weinstein effect[1][2] is a controversial term, which was used by a small number of digital media outlets to describe as "the culture of silence that protects powerful men being rapidly eroded".[3]

The first of a worldwide wave of allegations was made in the United States in October 2017, when media outlets reported on the allegations made against film producer Harvey Weinstein. They were described as a "tipping point" or "watershed moment" and precipitated an "international reckoning" against sexual harassment.[4][5]

The effect gave rise to the #MeToo movement, which encourages people to share their experiences of sexual harassment and assault, and the two events triggered a cascade of allegations that brought about the swift removal of many people in positions of power in the United States. In the entertainment industry, allegations led to the dismissal of actors and directors alike.[6][4]
