As dozens of women have come forward to accuse producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and rape, others in Hollywood, including Terry Crews, have shared their own experiences of abuse within the industry. On Twitter, James Van Der Beek, who was 20 years old when he was cast in Dawson’s Creek, said he sympathized with the women coming forward and that he has felt similar pressure to stay silent. “I’ve had my ass grabbed by older, powerful men, I’ve had them corner me in inappropriate sexual conversations when I was much younger … I understand the shame, powerlessness & inability to blow the whistle. There’s a power dynamic that feels impossible to overcome.” James Van Der Beek ?@vanderjames For anyone judging the women who stayed silent, read this for perspective. Also for anyone brushing off harassment as “boys being boys.” https://twitter.com/thecut/status/917822041902014465 … 10:18 PM - Oct 11, 2017 92 92 Replies 2,421 2,421 Retweets 5,846 5,846 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy James Van Der Beek ?@vanderjames What Weinstein is being accused of is criminal.
