Weinstein effect
The Weinstein effect is a global trend in which people come forward to accuse famous and powerful men of sexual misconduct.[1] The term may also refer to the "tipping point" phenomenon which occurred when allegations against American producer Harvey Weinstein created the critical "crack" in a metaphorical dam. It started in the United States after media outlets reported on numerous sexual abuse allegations against Weinstein in October 2017, precipitating a "national reckoning" against sexual harassment.[2]
Preceded by other sexual harassment cases earlier in the year, the reports on the Weinstein allegations and subsequent "Me Too" hashtag campaign, which encouraged individuals to share their suppressed stories of sexual misconduct, triggered a cascade of allegations across multiple industries that brought about the swift ouster of many men in positions of power both in the United States and, as it spread, around the world. In the entertainment industry, allegations led to the ousters of actors and directors alike. Most prominently, actor Kevin Spacey, comedian Louis C.K., and filmmaker Brett Ratner had projects canceled following at least six allegations apiece. Over 300 women accused filmmaker James Toback of sexual harassment. In journalism, allegations led to the ousters of editors, publishers, executives, and hosts, including such high-profile television figures as Charlie Rose, Mark Halperin and Matt Lauer. In politics, accusations of varying degrees of severity were made against politicians such as John Conyers, Al Franken, and Roy Moore. In other industries, the celebrity chef John Besh and other executives in finance and public relations were removed.
The Me Too campaign spread to other countries and languages over social media. Allegations against multiple British politicians created a public scandal and led to the suspension and resignations of three officials. In Canada, comedy festival founder Gilbert Rozon resigned and over a dozen individuals accused Quebec radio host Éric Salvail of sexual misconduct.
American journalists in conversation at NPR spoke of the series of allegations feeling like a tipping point for societal treatment of sexual misbehavior, distinguished from prior sexual misconduct public debates by the public trust put in the celebrity accusers, as opposed to prior cases of publicly unknown accusers.[3]

Background[edit]
On October 5, 2017, The New York Times and The New Yorker reported on decades of sexual misconduct claims against film producer Harvey Weinstein, who was dismissed from The Weinstein Company shortly thereafter. Weinstein had previously suppressed these cases through confidential financial settlements and nondisclosure agreements, as was common for celebrity sexual harassment cases, before journalists aired the story. Journalists had similarly and recently brought about political commentator Bill O'Reilly's ouster through reporting on his sexual harassment settlements. In both cases, the publicity of the reports forced their employers to remove the celebrities, and shed public light on the culture of silence surrounding sexual misconduct cover-ups[4] on behalf of powerfull men.
The events that followed the Weinstein allegations were also influenced by prior public cases of sexual misconduct in the United States: Anita Hill's testimony during Clarence Thomas's 1991 Supreme Court nomination, and the mid-2010s Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations. American national attitudes towards sexual harassment also shifted with Fox News television host Gretchen Carlson's lawsuit against the station's chairman Roger Ailes, which led to his ouster and encouraged journalists to pursue rumors about the conduct of Weinstein and Bill O'Reilly, though both Ailes and O'Reilly have denied wrongdoing.[5] Uber software engineer Susan Fowler's charges of sexual misconduct at the company led to the ousters of both Travis Kalanick and Dave McClure. USA Today wrote that 2017 was the year in which "sexual harassment became a fireable offense".[5]
Impact[edit]
United States[edit]
The Weinstein allegations precipitated an immediate "national reckoning" against sexual harassment and assault in the United States,[4] which became known as the Weinstein effect. Emboldened men and women aired untold or suppressed stories of sexual misconduct in workplaces across multiple industries, leading to the swift international ouster of many men in positions of power. On Twitter, the Me Too hashtag campaign encouraged hundreds of thousands of individuals to share their stories.[6][5] On November 25, 2017, it was reported that the Los Angeles Police Department was investigating 28 open sex crime cases involving Hollywood and media figures.[7]
Entertainment industry[edit]
By late October 2017, cases of ousters included, in the entertainment industry, Screen Junkies co-creator Andy Signore,[8][9] Amazon Studios director Roy Price, Agency for the Performing Arts talent agent Tyler Grasham, and Nickelodeon's The Loud House creator Chris Savino.[4]
Over 300 women accused filmmaker James Toback of sexual harassment.[5] As of November 23, 2017[update], the Beverly Hills Police Department has opened 12 sexual assault cases in the entertainment industry, including cases against Weinstein and Toback.[10]

Analysis[edit]
American journalists in conversation at NPR spoke of the series of allegations feeling like a tipping point for societal treatment of sexual misconduct.[3] They distinguished the moment from prior sexual misconduct public debates by the public trust in the accusers, who in this case were celebrities familiar to the public, rather than the accusers in prior cases, in which the accusers were unknown and became famous for their testimony. Social media had also provided a platform for women to share their experiences and encouragement at a scale that had not existed during prior public debates.[3] The state of California is considering legislation to ban secret sexual harassment settlements.[5]
Two columnists of the USA Today expressed doubt that the trend of public opinion would hold, citing open, public cases without consequential retribution: R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, former President Bill Clinton, and President Donald Trump.[5]
