This was a well-known secret in Hollywood, with actress Jessica Chastain revealing that she had been warned about working with Weinstein. But the Weinstein piece was just the start of what would eventually be a series of revelations about various men both within and outside of Hollywood, many of which had been “well-known secrets.” And the list of men accused of sexual misconduct keeps growing longer every day, at a rate that is almost impossible to keep up with.
