Hello double X listeners and welcome to this special podcast.

I'm Julia Turner, editor and chief of Slate.

In recent weeks, more than 75 women have come forward to accused movie producer

Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault.

The stories that Weinstein's accusers tell, of uncomfortable encounters in hotel rooms,

of ostensible business meetings interrupted by requests to give him a massage, to

watch him shower, to disrobe, and sometimes if sexual violence,

including rape, echo each other in striking ways.

In many cases these women also describe having spent decades feeling isolated, alone, and ashamed of their brushes with Weinstein.

But they were far from alone. And so we invited three of these women, actress Alice Evans, actress Catherine Kendall, and professor of psychology

Tomey Ann Roberts to speak with each other about their experiences.

In an honest and emotional conversation taped in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 16th,

they described what happened to them and how they're feeling now about the cascade of Weinstein

stories and allegations against other powerful men that have emerged.

Before we bring you that conversation, I'll note that Weinstein has been fired from the Weinstein Company and has resigned from the company's board.

Through a spokesperson, he has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex, and of retaliation against women who are. A spokesperson My guests today include Alice Evans, an actress who has appeared on the Vampire Diaries and Lost.

Thanks for joining me, Alice.

Thank you. And also here in the studio with me is Catherine Kendall, a photographer and

actress perhaps best known for her role in the film Swingers.

Thanks for being here today, Catherine.

Thank you.

And joining us by Skype from Colorado is Tomi Ann Roberts,
