She Said

*The climax of “She Said” sees Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor finally publishing their groundbreaking article about Harvey Weinstein’s decades of sexual abuse and harassment. Throughout their investigation, they gather irrefutable evidence—such as testimonies from victims willing to speak out after years of silence and internal memos that detail Weinstein’s misconduct, which had been deliberately suppressed by his employer. Weinstein, desperate to protect his reputation, attempts to discredit the story by threatening legal action and trying to involve other publications to overshadow the New York Times’ reporting. Nevertheless, Megan and Jodi persist, and just as time runs out, they secure the crucial testimonies of victims like Ashley Judd and Laura Madden, who publicly confirm their experiences. With this solid evidence, their article is published, exposing Weinstein’s predatory behavior to the world.

In the aftermath, Weinstein denies all allegations publicly, claiming they are false and that he is the victim of a conspiracy. Yet, within a month, more than 80 women come forward with accusations of sexual assault, leading to Weinstein’s arrest and eventual trial. In 2020, he is convicted of rape and sexual assault and sentenced to 23 years in prison, symbolizing a significant victory for the victims and the burgeoning #MeToo movement. The film concludes by highlighting how Megan and Jodi’s relentless journalism sparked a global conversation about workplace harassment, inspiring legal reforms and empowering many women to come forward and share their stories. The ending underscores that their tenacity not only brought a dangerous predator to justice but also ignited a movement that challenged long-standing systemic silence and impunity in Hollywood and beyond.*
