Megyn Kelly, Mira Sorvino and more reacted to disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein being sentenced to 23 years in prison after being found guilty of third-degree rape and a criminal sex act.
“To all the women who had that sickening feeling of having to choose between preserving their careers vs speaking out against their abuser, and who managed to find their voice, thank you,” the former Fox News host Kelly captioned her post on Instagram. “To those who chose otherwise, you’re loved & supported too. #Weinstein.”
It came after news broke Wednesday about Weinstein‘s prison sentence following his Manhattan rape trial. (RELATED: Prosecutors Begin Opening Statements In Harvey Weinstein Rape Trial With Graphic Details)
