Celebrities gone bad

(FILES) This file photo taken on May 23, 2017 shows US film producer Harvey Weinstein attending the De Grisogono Party on the sidelines of the 70th Cannes Film Festival in Antibes, France. The conviction of cultural icon turned national pariah Bill Cosby on sexual assault charges was a bittersweet victory for advocates of women making similar charges against powerful men in Hollywood, the media and elsewhere.And those advocates say they hope it will lead to more such convictions amid the groundswell of allegations that have come forward since the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke late last year, unleashing the #MeToo movement."I think now there is tremendous awareness of how these crimes have been covered up and papered over for years," US District Attorney Kevin Steele said after the jury convicted the comedian on April 26, 2018. Actress Rose McGowan -- who was among the first to go public with accusations against Weinstein, a movie mogul whose career is now in tatters -- tweeted: "His victims can now exhale.""Thank you, judge and jury. Thank you society for waking up," she added. / AFP PHOTO / Yann COATSALIOU
