The victims of Harvey Weinstein were outraged over the “unfair” ruling in New York Thursday that saw the former Hollywood mogul’s rape conviction overturned — calling it a “major step back” in the #MeToo movement.
Attorney Douglas Wigdor, who represents eight Weinstein victims, including Taralê Wulff and Dawn Dunning, slammed the court’s decision to order a new trial for the disgraced producer.
“Today’s decision is a major step back in holding those accountable for acts of sexual violence,” Wigdor said in a statement.
Ashley Judd, one of the first actresses who came forward with allegations against Weinstein and sued him in 2018, also criticized the high court’s ruling.
“That is unfair to survivors,” she told New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor. “We still live in our truth. And we know what happened.”
