Milano spoke out against Weinstein on her website, Patriot not Partisan, on Oct. 9, four days after the New York Times story was published.
This idea was originally that of feminist activist Tarana Burke, but it was Milano's post that garnered a lot of attention worldwide.
Women in the film industry that responded included Will and Grace star Debra Messing, X-Men star Anna Paquin, Gabrielle Union, Lady Gaga, Westworld actress Evan Rachel Wood, Insecure actress Natasha Rothwell, Rosario Dawson and One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush.
Sounds like a good rule... #MeToo pic.twitter.com/dJJ6WsGsmP

Irish author Louise O'Neill has shown her support for the movement in an Instagram post:
The sheer number of people that have been posting the message on social media shows that the harassment of women is a big problem in today's society.
