In May, Weinstein was arrested in New York on charges of rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct related to interactions with two women. A report from Ronan Farrow in The New Yorker also details Weinstein's alleged and elaborate efforts to silence journalists and accusers. The former movie executive denies the new accusations and "any allegations of non-consensual sex," but said in a statement to the Times that, "I appreciate the way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it." , The Weinstein scandal has sparked a national conversation about sexual misconduct and prompted others to come forward with accusations ranging from groping to rape against others, including former Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick, actor Morgan Freeman and former President George H. W. Bush. , These are the prominent public figures who have been accused of sexual misconduct after the Harvey Weinstein allegations.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Ronaldo denied Mayorga's allegation. "I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me.

I have never done anything like what the accuser describes  to her or to anyone. Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday. I am wiling to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way the Committee deems appropriate to refuse this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity.", Blasey Ford initially contacted the Post in July through a tip line, and sent a letter to Democrat Anna Eshoo, her congresswoman, in July.

However, he violated company policy and it is our commitment to uphold those policies at every level.", In a statement to CNN, Fager said "The company's decision had nothing to do with the false allegations printed in The New Yorker. Instead, they terminated my contract early because I sent a text message to one of our own CBS reporters demanding that she be fair in covering the story. My language was harsh and, despite the fact that journalists receive harsh demands for fairness all the time, CBS did not like it. One such note should not result in termination after 36 years but it did.", According to a report from CBS News, Fager texted CBS News correspondent Jericka Duncan "If you repeat these false allegations without any of your own reporting to back them up you will be held responsible for harming me. Be careful. There are people who lost their jobs trying to harm me and if you pass on these damaging claims without your own reporting to back them up that will become a serious problem.", A spokesperson for CBS did not immediately respond to TIME's request for comment.

The Times story was based on documents the paper received anonymously. Bennett issued his first public statement through his attorney on Aug. 22, which said "I did not initially speak out about my story because I chose to handle in private with the person who had wronged me.

"Throughout my time at CBS, we have promoted a culture of respect and opportunity for all employees, and have consistently found success elevating women to top executive positions across our Company," Moonves said in a statement to TIME. "I recognize that there were times decades ago when I may have made some women uncomfortable by making advances. Those were mistakes, and I regret them immensely. But I always understood and respected  and abided by the principle  that no' means no,' and I have never misused my position to harm or hinder anyone's career.

Cirrincione denied in a statement to the Post that he asked for sexual favors on the condition of representing actors. "I have had affairs while in committed relationships, ones I am now ashamed to say are coming to light and shading my past and my reputation. I can say without a doubt that I have never used favors, sexual or otherwise, as a reason for managing anyone. I want to make it clear that not one of those relationships were anything but consensual," he told the Post. "I take responsibility for my part in the situation and I am not here to diminish anyone's feelings or experiences. I apologize to these women, my past and present partner, my clients and employees for the pain this is bringing them. I was under the impression I was living my life as a supportive man to women. It is with a heavy heart that I see now I was wrong.", Both Berry and Henson spoke out against Cirrincione following the Post's report. , Kate Upton told TIME in February that Marciano, the co-founder and executive chairman of Guess, forcibly kissed her, grabbed her breasts and harassed her when she began modeling for the brand.

He will stay on as chief creative officer and as a member of the board until his contract expires in January, the company said.

"Always listen, and consider everything carefully, but please for everyone's sake don't rush to judgment.", , Copperfield's statement appears to reference a 2007 allegation made by Lacey Carroll, who told authorities Copperfield invited her to his home in the Bahamas and sexually assaulted her.
