It seems that while 2017 was a year of many revelations in Hollywood, 2018 is bent on fixing the wrongs and making everything right.

It all started in October of 2017, when Harvey Weinstein, Miramax Films co-founder, was accused of more than a dozen sexual abuse allegations by women, most of whom were prominent Hollywood figures. Despite saying that it all wasn’t true, the reports kept coming with as many as 80 women accusing Weinstein of harassment at the workplace, leading to his expulsion from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. This event created the hashtag Me Too, in which women finally felt free and secure enough to tell their story.

Fast forward three months to the Golden Globes, and the widely applauded Time’s Up movement happened. It is basically a legal defense fund run by the National Women’s Law Center to to support lower-income women seeking justice for sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. The Golden Globes was just a public event that allowed Hollywood celebrities to speak up and raise the awareness for the movement. They decided to make the dress code all black and promote the event furthermore on social media.

The fund is open for everyone to donate, and celebrities weren’t exempt. In fact, here is a list of them and of their donations. So please make sure you tell us which ones made you love your favorite celebrities even more and which ones made you question your tastes for the Hollywood famous!
