Director James Toback has been accused of sexual misconduct by 38 women, The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday, and Hollywood is furious.
Since the downfall of Harvey Weinstein, scores of both women and men in the entertainment industry have come forward with their own stories of being harassed and assaulted over the course of their careers, with those accused including APA agent Tyler Grasham and Nickelodeon show runner, Chris Savino.
Now, many of the women who have taken it upon themselves to hold Hollywood accountable — including Weinstein accusers Rose McGowan and Asia Argento — had plenty to say about Toback’s alleged actions, which included rubbing his crotch against one actress’ leg.
James Toback damn you for stealing, damn you for traumatizing. https://t.co/rLpboMcIMT
