Sexual harassment claims have recently led to the downfall of several rich and powerful people.
In July 2016, Roger Ailes resigned as chairman and CEO of Fox News following allegations that he sexually harassed female colleagues. Less than a year later, Fox News fired pundit Bill O’Reilly for the same reason. In June, Travis Kalanick resigned as CEO of Uber after a female engineer detailed a pattern of sexual harassment at the company. And, in October, Harvey Weinstein was terminated as co-chairman of the movie studio he founded, The Weinstein Co., following an expose that detailed decades of sexual abuse allegations made against him by actresses and employees.
