Sexual harassment is present and pervasive in the entertainment industry, from Broadway to Hollywood and beyond. The widespread issue affects actors, actresses, writers, comedians, models, dancers, musicians, employees and others.

Recent news headlines have brought these heinous acts to the forefront, and many victims have bravely stepped forward to tell their stories. Hagens Berman wants to continue the fight, help achieve justice for those who have been victim to sexual harassment, and effect systemic change throughout the industry.

All too often, sexual harassment in the entertainment industry is covered up by companies and those in power – through the use of duress, fear and onerous confidentiality agreements.

In the entertainment industry, victims are routinely subjected to widespread policies and practices that promote quid pro quo arrangements, pressuring or forcing the victim to take part in sexual acts because they feel powerless against unwanted advancements. Victims are also often punished for resisting. We know well that predators - like Harvey Weinstein and his “wicked conspirators,” as Uma Thurman phrased it - exist throughout the industry, and those affected deserve justice.
