Trigger Warning: Sexual Trauma
You can also listen to this episode on Spotify!
Actor Katherine Kendall was only 23 years old when Harvey Weinstein lured her into his apartment, and then cornered and sexually traumatized her. For years she felt silenced and powerless, fearing backlash if she reported the then influential producer. Years later in 2017, Katherine bravely spoke out. She was one of the first women to publicly speak out against Weinstein in a New York Times article, sending a ripple effect that would ignite the #MeToo movement. In this episode of Beyond the Prescription, the actress details her journey of overcoming the shame of being sexually traumatized; grappling with the physical manifestations of emotional pain; and finding the courage to advocate for other survivors.
