Alyssa Milano: Shortly after allegations of sexual misconduct began to be leveled against Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein, actress Alyssa Milano asked people who had also suffered abuse to identify themselves using the words "Me Too."

Reese Witherspoon: Shortly after Milano’s initial message, Reese Witherspoon admitted at an event that she was assaulted at the age of 16 by a Hollywood director. “ I have my own experiences that have come back to me very vividly and I find it really hard to sleep, hard to think, hard to communicate a lot of the feelings that I’ve been having about anxiety, about being honest, the guilt for not speaking up earlier,” Witherspoon said, according to People. “ [ I feel] true disgust at the director who assaulted me when I was 16 years old and anger at the agents and the producers who made me feel that silence was a condition of my employment.” ( Photo by Alberto E.
