Lupita Nyong'o says Weinstein threatened her career after she refused him

More than 50 women have come forward with stories of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment or abuse.

It’s now been more than two weeks since the New York Times published the first story about Harvey Weinstein’s long history of sexual harassment and abuse, and women continue to break silence.

More than 50 women have come forward with stories of Weinstein’s sexual harassment or abuse. And as each of these women’s stories comes to light, the details are eerily similar: Weinstein, promising to help a young actress with her career, invites her up to his hotel room for a massage, and he escalates it to something more sinister.

Here’s a rundown of all the Weinstein news from the last few days:

Lupita Nyong’o writes heartbreaking op-ed in the New York Times

The “Twelve Years a Slave” actor writes that when she was a grad student at Yale, Weinstein invited her to his house in Westport, Connecticut, to watch a screening. Halfway through, he invited her to his bedroom and asked for a massage. She made it out of Weinstein’s house that day, but then was invited up to a hotel room at a dinner several months later. When she refused to go to Weinstein’s room, he threatened her professionally.

“Though we may have endured powerlessness at the hands of Harvey Weinstein, by speaking up, speaking out and speaking together, we regain that power,” Nyong’o wrote. “And we hopefully ensure that this kind of rampant predatory behavior as an accepted feature of our industry dies here and now.”

“Now that we are speaking, let us never shut up about this kind of thing.”

The LAPD is investigating

The Los Angeles Police Department is launching its own investigation into Harvey Weinstein, following police departments in New York and London.

The LAPD says they’ve interviewed someone who claims to have been raped by Weinstein at the Mr. C hotel in Beverly Hills in February of 2013.

A spokesperson for Harvey Weinstein has been issuing the same statement over and over again since The New Yorker ran its own bombshell Weinstein story, in which multiple women said the powerful film executive had raped them: “Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.”

Tarantino knew “enough to do more than I did”

Quentin Tarantino, the Hollywood director who’s worked on more movies with Weinstein than anyone else, had heard the rumors, which he admits were more than rumors. His own former girlfriend, Mira Sorvino, told him that Weinstein had harassed her.

“I knew enough to do more than I did,” he said, according to the New York Times. “There was more to it than just the normal rumors, the normal gossip. It wasn’t secondhand. I knew he did a couple of these things.”

Now, after so many women have come forward, Tarantino wishes he had done more.

“Anything I say now will sound like a crappy excuse,” he told the Times.

But not everyone knew, say more than 30 anonymous Weinstein Co. employees

Despite several prominent Hollywood voices claiming that “everyone” knew about Weinstein’s behavior, a letter signed by 30 anonymous Weinstein Company employees,

“We all knew we were working for a man with an infamous temper,” the letter says. “We did not know we were working for a serial sexual predator.”

Read the full letter over at The New Yorker.

Women in other industries are speaking up

Outside of Hollywood, women are speaking out about rampant sexual abuse in other industries.

Over 200 women who work in California’s capital signed a letter about the culture of sexual abuse around the Statehouse in Sacramento. Dozen of models are sharing stories of sexual harassment in the fashion industry. Robert Scoble, a prominent tech blogger, has been accused of sexual harassment by two women. And Vox just fired their editorial director Lockhart Steele over allegations of sexual misconduct.

And one thing that the Weinstein scandal has in common with other high-profile sexual assault scandals: A big story leads to more women sharing their stories of sexual harassment and assault.
