Actor James Van Der Beek revealed Thursday that he was groped by “older, powerful men” and was sexually harassed when he was “much younger.”
“What Weinstein is being accused of is criminal. What he’s admitted to is unacceptable – in any industry. I applaud everybody speaking out,” Van Der Beek said on Twitter.
“Ive had my ass grabbed by older, powerful men, Ive had them corner me in inappropriate sexual conversations when I was much younger…” he said.
“I understand the unwarranted shame, powerlessness & inability to blow the whistle. Theres a power dynamic that feels impossible to overcome.”
For anyone judging the women who stayed silent, read this for perspective. Also for anyone brushing off harassment as boys being boys. https://t.co/UX9xWxpn2K

Actor Terry Crews similarly said he was groped by a “high level Hollywood executive” at a party last year.
The dam appears to be breaking on sexual abuse in Hollywood.
It’s time to start naming names.
Accusations have surrounded X-Men director Bryan Singer for years. Amy J. Berg’s bombshell documentary “An Open Secret” exposed the cast of characters he was involved with.
It just came out the DOJ is probing Harvey Weinstein, they need to expand their investigation ASAP as Los Angeles officials have shown they’re fine looking the other way.
