2017 will go down in history and will always be known as the “Armageddon” of powerful, abusive men in Hollywood. Thanks to the “Weinstein effect”, several high-profile men are now facing all consequences of their actions toward women.
Actor Ed Westwick is the latest personality added to the growing list of men accused of rape and sexual misconduct to women, joining respected actors such as Dustin Hoffman and Kevin Spacey. With several of these powerful men now held accountable for their actions, let’s not forget these other actors who’ve done wrong towards women.

The Game of Thrones star recently faced backlash with an unearthed clip way back from 2011 Comic-Con. In the clip, Momoa can be heard saying “As far as sci-fi and fantasy, I love that genre because there are so many things you can do, like rip someone’s tongue out of their throat and get away with it and rape beautiful women.”
Michael Fassbender

Seven years ago, the actor was accused of his then-girlfriend Sunawin Andrews of “throwing her over a chair and breaking her nose” after a night of heavy drinking. The actor also “dragged her alongside their car after an argument,” which caused her to twist her ankle and blow out her kneecap.

The magician was recently accused of raping a model back in 2004; Natasha Prince claims to have been raped by Blaine at a private home in the summer of 2004. The magician, through his attorney, vehemently denies all accusations against him.
