On October 5, the New York Times published three decades worth of sexual harassment allegations against film mogul Harvey Weinstein. Then, the New Yorker published its own investigation, revealing three women who had accused Weinstein of rape. Since the two articles were released, many more women have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and rape.

In total, 30 women have come forward with allegations. But that’s not all. Over the weekend, a campaign started 10 years ago by activist Tarana Burke, to encourage “empowerment through empathy,” re-emerged, according to AV ClubThe campaign, “Me Too” encourages survivors to confirm the heart-wrenching truth: that nearly every woman or female-identified person (as well as non-binary individuals and “a significant minority of men”) on Earth has been the victim of sexual assault and/or harassment.” Thousands shared their stories on social media.

Women across Hollywood participated in the “Me Too” campaign, and have continued speaking out about harassment and assault.

Below is a list (in alphabetical order by first name) of women (and some men) who allege they were harassed, assaulted or raped. We will unfortunately update this as more comes out, but as AV Club reminded us: “If it all seems overwhelming, remember: This is only a small fraction. The real numbers are actually much higher.”

Cara Delevingne

Delevingne announced on Instagram that Weinstein had harassed her on two separate occasions, once when he called and asked her about her sexual orientation and sexual partners, and another time when he propositioned her and another unidentified woman for sex.

When I first started to work as an actress, i was working on a film and I received a call from‎ Harvey Weinstein asking if I had slept with any of the women I was seen out with in the media. It was a very odd and uncomfortable call….i answered none of his questions and hurried off the phone but before I hung up, he said to me that If I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I’d never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood. A year or two later, I went to a meeting with him in the lobby of a hotel with a director about an upcoming film. The director left the meeting and Harvey asked me to stay and chat with him. As soon as we were alone he began to brag about all the actresses he had slept with and how he had made their careers and spoke about other inappropriate things of a sexual nature. He then invited me to his room. I quickly declined and asked his assistant if my car was outside. She said it wasn’t and wouldn’t be for a bit and I should go to his room. At that moment I felt very powerless and scared but didn’t want to act that way hoping that I was wrong about the situation. When I arrived I was relieved to find another woman in his room and thought immediately I was safe. He asked us to kiss and she began some sort of advances upon his direction. I swiftly got up and asked him if he knew that I could sing. And I began to sing….i thought it would make the situation better….more professional….like an audition….i was so nervous. After singing I said again that I had to leave. He walked me to the door and stood in front of it and tried to kiss me on the lips. I stopped him and managed to get out of the room. I still got the part for the film and always thought that he gave it to me because of what happened. Since then I felt awful that I did the movie. I felt like I didn’t deserve the part. I was so hesitant about speaking out….I didn’t want to hurt his family. I felt guilty as if I did something wrong. I was also terrified that this sort of thing had happened to so many women I know but no one had said anything because of fear.

It just rips your heart out. I will continue talking about it, I will continue to try to keep educating. You see so much now with victim blaming and victim shaming and really trying to put the onus on the victim and trying to say that there’s some right way to deal with trauma. And I just have to keep speaking out to dispel as many misconceptions as possible about sexual violence,” she said, according to AV Club.

Louise Godbold

Godbold wrote in a blog post that Weinstein allegedly trapped her in an empty meeting room, where he propositioned her for a massage and put his hands on her shoulders.

“No one needs ‘that kind of publicity,’ least of all the hundreds of women Harvey must have propositioned over the decades,” she said of the women coming forward, according to Teen Vogue. “He will remain rich and powerful, the women will remain unknown, silent, hurting, because to speak up would be even more painful in this climate of victim-blaming.

Lucia Evans

Evans told the New Yorker that in 2004, when she was an aspiring actress, she met Weinstein at a club in New York City. Weinstein scheduled a meeting with her, and Evans alleges Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him.

“I said, over and over, ‘I don’t want to do this, stop, don’t,’” she said, according to New Yorker. “I tried to get away, but maybe I didn’t try hard enough. I didn’t want to kick him or fight him.”

She says that she “just sort of gave up,” according to Teen Vogue, and “that’s the most horrible part of it, and that’s why he’s been able to do this for so long to so many women: people give up, and then they feel like it’s their fault.”

“Stories like these have never been taken seriously. Women are shamed, told they are uptight, nasty, bitter, can’t take a joke, are too sensitive,” Ringwald writes, according to AV Club. “And the men? Well, if they’re lucky, they might get elected President.”
