On Sunday, Milano tweeted a note that read: “Suggested by a friend: If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me too’ as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.” > [](https://twitter.com/Alyssa%5FMilano/status/919659438700670976) The movement has since picked up momentum on social media: #MeToo has become a trending hashtag on Twitter, [more than 6 million Facebook](http://fortune.com/2017/10/16/me-too-facebook-alyssa-milano/ "undefined") users are “talking about” Me Too as of Monday, and celebrities have joined in as well. “Because I was shamed and considered a “party girl” I felt I deserved it.

Say you have a father, a brother, a son who can do better. We all can,” comedian Nick Jack Pappas wrote. > [](https://twitter.com/Pappiness/status/919752795280027648) _Bring It On_ actress Gabrielle Union, who spoke of her experiences in 2016, spoke out as well. > [](https://twitter.com/itsgabrielleu/status/919704129295077377) As did comedian Barry Crimmins, who shared his story as a survivor of assault. > [](https://twitter.com/crimmins/status/919692949067268096) The movement comes in response to the controversy surrounding movie producer [Harvey Weinstein](http://time.com/4983725/harvey-weinstein-company-sale/ "undefined"), who numerous women have accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
