Mayim Bialik Sorry for Comments
Share:
The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik has apologised after saying ‘non-traditional’ women are ‘over-looked’ by sexual harassers.
She wrote an essay for The New York Times last week, entitled, ‘’Being a Feminist in Harvey Weinstein’s World’. The response from the public was anything but positive, however. Recent allegations against the former producer came forward about a week ago, with several women speaking out about Weinstein’s sexual assault. He has obviously denied these allegations.
After a backlash from fans, the actress pleaded that she was ‘very sorry’. Bialik had been criticised for implying that only attractive women are harassed.

Weinstein’s accusations come from a range of women in Hollywood, with Game of Thrones’ own Lena Headey being one of the most recent people to accuse him of sexual harassment.
Weinstein has resigned from his company and lost basically any right to work on anything ever again.
