Using the hashtag, many more performing artists like Lady Gaga, Anna Paquin and America Ferrera, along with actors like Alex Winter and James Van Der Beek spoke out and joined the community on social media.
In addition to the online push, some live events have addressed the topic.
Reese Witherspoon spoke at ELLE's Women in Hollywood event and voiced her own experience. The Oscar winner said she was assaulted by a director at the age of 16, adding, \"Hearing all of the stories these past few days and hearing these brave women speak out tonight about things we’re kind of told to sweep under the rug and not talk about, it’s made me want to speak up, and speak up loudly, because I felt less alone this week than I’ve ever felt in my entire career.\"

Rose McGowan, who has also alleged assault against Weinstein, spoke on Friday at the Women's Convention in Detroit, saying, \"I have been silenced for 20 years. I have been slut-shamed. I have been harassed.\"

\"What happened to me behind the scenes happens to all of us in this society,\" McGowan said. \"That cannot stand and will not stand ... We are free. We are strong. We are one massive collective voice.\"
James Toback
On Oct. 22, the Los Angeles Times published a report that cited 38 women who stepped forward and accused Director James Toback of sexual harassment and assault.
A rep for Toback did not respond to ABC News' requests for comment.

The \"Two Girls and a Guy\" director denied the numerous allegations to the Times, \"saying that he had never met any of these women,\" or if he did it \"was for five minutes and have no recollection.\"
Last week, Selma Blair and Rachel McAdams shared their personal stories in first-person accounts with Vanity Fair, which included sexual innuendos and alleged assault.
Blair claims the director asked if she would sleep with him. She said, \"No,\" but that when she \"went to leave,\" he stopped her. To avoid being assaulted, she says she conceded to let him touch her while he masturbated.
Mark Halperin
Political analyst Mark Halperin was removed from MSNBC last week and a book he had been working on was canceled after women came forward alleging he sexually harassed them.
On Oct. 26, CNN published a report citing multiple women who allege Halperin harassed them while he the political director at ABC News in the late 1990s.
The women, who were all in their 20s at the time, shared stories of Halperin allegedly propositioning them for sex and making unwanted sexual advances, including allegedly pressing himself against them.
ABC News said in a statement, “Mark left ABC News over a decade ago, and no complaints were filed during his tenure.\"
Halperin himself took to Twitter on Friday, writing, \"I am profoundly sorry for the pain and anguish I have caused by my past actions. I apologize sincerely to the women I mistreated.\"
He added, “Towards the end of my time at ABC News, I recognized I had a problem. No one had sued me, no one had filed a human resources complaint against me, no colleague had confronted me. But I didn’t need a call from HR to know that I was a selfish, immature person, who was behaving in a manner that had to stop.”
Kevin Spacey
On Sunday, \"Star Trek: Discovery” star Anthony Rapp told BuzzFeed News that Kevin Spacey made a sexual advance toward him when he was just 14 years old.
Rapp, now 46, accused Spacey of trying to seduce him while attending a party back in 1986.
In response to these allegations, Spacey said \"I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I'm beyond horrified to hear this story. I honestly do not remember the encounter ... But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior.\"
He also came out in his statement and said, \"I choose now to live as a gay man.\"
Though Spacey's message included an apology, if he \"did behave then as [Rapp] describes,\" his choice to focus the rest of the statement on coming out as gay ignited outrage from a host of comedians, actors and more who said Spacey was wrong to \"hide under the rainbow,\" instead of acknowledging that Rapp was only 14 at the time of the alleged incident.
Rapp also added early Monday morning, \"I came forward with my story, standing on the shoulders of the many courageous women and men who have been speaking out to shine a light and hopefully make a difference, as they have done for me.\"
