Susan Sarandon believes Hollywood hasnt fully reckoned with the #MeToo movement .

The Oscar winner joined fellow actors Mira Sorvino and Geena Davis for a panel event Sunday in Hartford, Connecticut, where she spoke candidly about disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein , according to reporting this week by People .

In 2020, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for committing a criminal sex act against a production assistant and for raping an aspiring actor in a hotel. In 2023, he was sentenced to an additional 16 years for the rape and sexual assault of an actor and model in a hotel.

The often outspoken Sarandon said on Sunday that in the wake of the Weinstein scandal, those whove enabled abusers continue to work in show business.

I dont think weve done the cleanup afterwards that we should be doing, she said. I dont think people talk enough about the people who facilitated the Harvey Weinsteins of the world that are still functioning that are equally responsible.

Sarandon added that these industry insiders remain employed even though they knew when they were sending people to a hotel or didnt pay attention when someone complained.

Sarandon also noted that its very confusing to be, you know, a young girl in Hollywood and realize that executives are checking on your viability according to how sexy you are.
