Mariska Hargitay on Weinstein's Overturned Rape Conviction

At the Variety’s Power of Women ceremony, Mariska Hargitay criticized the overturning of Harvey Weinstein’s rape conviction, attributing it to the overwhelming number of women allowed to testify. Speaking at the event, she linked the decision to a broader backlash against the Me Too movement, emphasizing the transformative power of women's voices in challenging the status quo. The New York State Court of Appeals had recently overturned Weinstein’s conviction, questioning the reliance on testimonies from accusers not directly involved in the case.
