WITH OTHERS COMING FORWARD, SO
MANY OTHERS.

TO 45 WOMEN, THEY CULTURED AN

A PHOTOGRAPHER, INFAMOUS FOR HIS
SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF FASHION
MODEL, CLAIMS HE'S DENIED.
UK SUNDAY TIMES CALLS THIS GUY
THE HARVEY WEINSTEIN OF FASHION.
A NICKELODEON FIRED.
KNIGHT MANDISMAN, RESIGNED AFTER

WOMEN.
TELEVISION EXECUTIVE ROY PRICE,

HE SEXUALLY HARASSED A PRODUCER.
LEON, WHO ADMITTED OFFENSES
AGAINST FEMALE COLLEAGUES AT HIS

DOZENS OF WOMEN THIS YEWEEK, FROM
THE CALIFORNIA AND ILLINOIS
STATE LEGISLATURES, WHO IN OPEN
LETTERS, DETAILED ALLEGED
HARASSMENT THEY HAVE SUFFERED
WHILE IN PUBLIC SERVICE.
THEN BREAKING JUST THIS MORNING,
JOURNALIST AND NBC POLITICAL
ANALYST MARK HALPERIN, STANDS
ACCUSED OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
ACCORDING TO CNN, WHICH PROBLEM
THE STORY, FIVE ANONYMOUS WOMEN
HAVE COME FORWARD WITH STORIES
OF HIS ALLEGED MISCONDUCT WHILE
WORKING FOR ABC NEWS MORE THAN A
DECADE AGO.
HALPERIN HAS SAID, I AM DEEPLY
SORRY AND I APOLOGIZE.
MISSISSIPPI NRK BILL KENEELY
MSNBC PUTTING OUT A STATEMENT,
WE FIND THE STORY AND THE
ALLEGATIONS VERY TROUBLING.
MARK HALPERIN IS LEAVING AS A
CONTRIBUTOR UNTIL THE QUESTIONS
AROUND HIS PAST ARE FULLY
UNDERSTOOD.
WHERE DOES THIS GO?
WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE US?
WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE US AS A
SOCIETY?
WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT
RELATIONSHIPS IN THE WORKPLACE,
BETWEEN WOMEN AND MEN, AND WHAT
ARE THE MEN SUPPOSED TO DO?
MEN WHO ARE TERRIFIED RIGHT NOW
AT WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO GET
HIT AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE
PAST THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WAS
ILLEGAL, IS ABOUT TO COME BACK
TO HAUNT THEM.
TODAY, WE'VE INVITED BACK
ATTORNEYS GLORIA ALLRED AND
DOUGLAS WIGDOR.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
ARE YOU FEELING IT?
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
WHEN YOU ROLL THROUGH IT LIKE
THAT.
IT IS PROMISING BECAUSE WOMEN
ARE SPEAKING, GLORIA.
THEY'RE SPEAKING.
IN JULY OF '16, WHEN THE SCANDAL
BROKE AT FOX NEWS WITH ROGER
AILES, I WOULD TALK ABOUT IT AND
I WOULD GO GIVE SPEECHES.
ALL THE WOMEN IN THE AUDIENCE
WOULD BE LIKE, MM-HMM, YES,
UH-HUH.
THE MEN WOULD LOOK
UNCOMFORTABLE, LIKE WHAT?
HOLY -- AND NOW WE'RE TALKING.
WE'RE ALL TALKING.
WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THE STATE
OF AMERICA, THAT SO MANY WOMEN
HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AND HAVE
BEEN KEEPING THEM SECRET FOR SO
LONG?
>> WELL, WHAT IT SAYS IS WOMEN
HAVE FOUND THEIR POWER AND
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE SILENT
ANYMORE.
THEY'RE GOING TO STAND UP FOR
THEMSELVES.
THEY'RE GOING TO STAND UP FOR
THEIR DAUGHTERS AND THEIR
SISTERS AND THEIR MOTHERS.
THEY'RE GOING TO BREAK THE
SILENCE AND SPEAK OUT.
EVEN MORE THAN THAT, MEGYN, WHAT
THEY'RE GOING TO DO IS THEY'RE
GOING TO LEARN WHAT THEIR RIGHTS
ARE.
THEY'RE GOING TO ATTORNEYS.
THEY'RE GOING TO FIND OUT IF
THEY STILL HAVE RIGHTS THEY CAN
ASSERT.
THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD.
THEY'RE BREAKING OUT OF THAT
FEAR.
THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD TO FIND
OUT WHICH LEGAL OPTIONS THEY CAN
PURSUE AND THEY'RE PURSUING
THEM.
>> THAT'S THE THING.
>> I'M SO PROUD OF THEM FOR THAT
BECAUSE THEY'RE HELPING TO WIN
CHANGE FOR WOMEN IN THE
WORKPLACE.
>> IT TAKES HUGE GUTS.
IT TAKES A LOT OF GUTS.
THERE'S A REASON ALL THE WOMEN
WENT TO CNN ANONYMOUSLY, DOUG.
THAT IS, THEY'RE AFRAID.
THEY'RE AFRAID.
THERE IS SAFETY IN NUMBERS BUT
NOT THAT MUCH SAFETY.
AND, YOU KNOW, WOMEN ARE STILL
WORRIED ABOUT BEING TARGETED.
HOW DO WE STRIKE THE BALANCE?
NOT EVERY MAN WHO GETS ACCUSED
IS GUILTY, YOU KNOW?
I DON'T WANT TO RUSH TO JUDGMENT
ON ALL THESE MEN.
SOME WOMEN DO MAKE FALSE CLAIMS.
WE SAW IT REPEATEDLY IN THE PAST
COUPLE OF YEARS.
SO HOW DO WE STRIKE THE BALANCE
BETWEEN GETTING THEM TO REPORT
BUT STILL REMEMBERING MEN HAVE
RIGHTS, DUE PROCESS RIGHTS?
>> RIGHT.
FRANKLY, FOR EVERY BAD REPORT,
FOR EVERY, YOU KNOW, PERSON WHO
CLAIMS THEY'RE A VICTIM AND NOT
A VICTIM, IT UNDERMINES THE TRUE
VICTIMS.
IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US AS
LAWYERS TO VET THESE CASES
BEFORE WE COME FORWARD WITH
THEM, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS ARE ACCURATE
ACCURATE.
BUT PICKING UP ON WHAT GLORIA
SAID, THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY
SILENT SUFFERERS OUT THERE.
NOW THAT PEOPLE SEE PEOPLE
STEPPING FORWARD, THEY HAVE THE
POWER NOW TO DO THE SAME.
>> BUT HOW?
HOW?
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.
A LOT OF PLACES DON'T HAVE A
MEANINGFUL HR DEPARTMENT.
THAT'S HOW IT WAS FOR YEARS
WHERE I WAS.
BUT LOOK AT THESE WOMEN IN
HOLLYWOOD.
THERE WAS NO HR.
WHO ARE THEY GOING TO COMPLAIN
TO ABOUT THIS FAMOUS DIRECTOR,
HARVEY WEINSTEIN?
THERE'S NO HR.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
>> CONSULT SEXUAL HARASSMENT
LAWYERS LIKE ME, LIKE DOUG, LIKE
OTHERS.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
THEN THEY CAN HAVE A
CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATION WITH A
LAWYER TO FIND OUT WHAT, IF
ANYTHING, THEY CAN STILL DO,
WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.
>> AND MORE WOMEN ARE COMING TO
YOU.
>> OH, YES.
>> PEOPLE KNOW THIS IS AN
OPTION.
YOU'RE THE PERSON THAT CAN PUT
TOGETHER THE PIECES.
LIKE YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
>> EXACTLY.
YES, AND A LOT OF WOMEN ARE
SHARING WITH ME ABOUT NAMES THAT
ARE NOT YET IN THE NEWS.
YOU RIGHTFULLY READ A WHOLE LIST
OF NAMES OF MEN WHO ARE BEING
ACCUSED.
THERE IS A WHOLE LIST OF
HIGH-PROFILE MEN WHO ARE NOT YET
ACCUSED PUBLICLY.
SOME OF THOSE NAPES WILL BE
RELEASED IN THE FUTURE.
BECAUSE THIS IS THE TIPPING
POINT FOR CHANGE.
WOMEN ARE SPEAKING OUT.
I WANT TO ASSURE THEM, THEY CAN
HAVE A CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATION
WITH AN ATTORNEY.
AFTER THAT, THEY CAN DECIDE THEY
DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING, THEY
DON'T WANT TO SPEAK OUT, THEY
DON'T WANT TO ASSERT THEIR
RIGHTS, OR THEY DO.
THAT'S --
>> FOR SO LONG --
>> THEY DON'T HAVE THE
CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATION WITH
AN HR PERSON.
>> FOR SO LONG, WE'VE TAKEN IT.
HONESTLY, IF YOU FEEL
COMFORTABLE, RAISE YOUR HAND IF
THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU IN
SOME WAY, IF YOU FEEL YOU'VE
BEEN SEXUALLY HARASSED.
ALL RIGHT.
A FAIR AMOUNT OUT THERE ARE
SAYING YES.
IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR SO LONG.
I THINK WOMEN JUST SUCK IT UP.
THEY SUCK IT UP.
IT'S NOT JUST WOMEN.
IT CAN HAPPEN TO MEN, TOO.
THIS IS THE COST OF DOING
BUSINESS.
HE'S GOING TO LOOK AT MY ASS.
HE'S GOING TO GRAB ME.
HE'S GOING TO SAY SOMETHING
INAPPROPRIATE.
I HAVE TO SHRUG IT OFF, LEST I
BE PERCEIVED AS SOMEONE WHO
CAN'T PLAY WITH THE BOYS.
>> I THINK IT IS REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO SPEAK TO
AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE WHETHER
YOU'RE GOING TO GO PUBLIC OR NOT
IS A SEPARATE ISSUE.
YOU DON'T -- NOT EVERY PERSON
GOES PUBLIC.
THE REASON WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY IS THAT
YOU CAN MAP OUT YOUR STRATEGY.
EMPLOYERS HAVE POLICIES.
THOSE POLICIES ARE DESIGNED TOEMPLOYER.
>> EMPLOYER.
>> YES.
IN SOME POLICIES, FOR INSTANCE,
IF YOU DON'T COMPLAIN
INTERNALLY, YOU WOULD BE BARRED
FROM BRINGING AN ACTION
ULTIMATELY.
>> WHICH MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THE
COMPANY NEEDS NOTICE.
IF YOU WANT THE COMPANY TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT, THE COMPANY
MUST KNOW.
>> RIGHT.
>> THEY CAN'T PROTECT YOU IF
YOU'RE NOT SAYING ANYTHING.
THAT'S WHY WE ALL SAY, YOU HAVE
TO REPORT IT.
>> BUT SOME COMPANIES -- SOME
WOMEN FEAR REPORTING IT.
>> OF COURSE.
ALL WOMEN FEAR.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID THAT THE
COMPANY WILL NOT BE NEUTRAL,
WILL NOT BE AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION.
>> I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT.
>> WILL SIDE WITH THE --
>> WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THAT.
>> HR, IT IS NICE.
IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD DO
IT.
BUT IT IS SCARY AND WOMEN KNOW
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS GO THEIR WAY.
THEN THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
THE NEXT CONTRACT, OH, YOU'RE
NOT DOING AS GREAT A JOB AS YOU
WERE.
YOU CAN'T PROVE IT IS BECAUSE
YOU COMPLAINED.
>> WHEN YOU'RE MAPPING OUT THE
STRATEGY WITH YOUR LAWYER, THERE
ARE WAYS OF GOING TO HUMAN
RESOURCES OR TO YOUR BOSS, YOU
KNOW.
LAWYERS CAN'T RECOMMEND, FOR
INSTANCE, TO A CLIENT THAT THEY
RECORD A CONVERSATION, BUT IN
MANY STATES, THERE IS A
ONE-PARTY CONSENT RULE.
THE PARTY CAN RECORD A
CONVERSATION.
>> LIKE NEW YORK.
>> RIGHT.
BUT NOT OTHER STATES.
>> NOT CALIFORNIA.
>> THAT'S A TOOL.
THERE ARE WAYS OF SAYING THINGS
TO HR, TO ASK THEM QUESTIONS,
THAT YOU CAN GET RESPONSES THAT
WILL ULTIMATELY HELP YOU.
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF LAWYERS
WHO DO THIS PRO BONO.
IF YOU'RE THINKING, I DON'T HAVE
THE MONEY, LAWYERS WILL HELP
FREE OF CHARGE.
>> EXACTLY.
WOMEN NEED TO KNOW, THERE ARE
RISKS IN SPEAKING OUT.
>> THERE ARE.
>> YOU COULD BE SUED BY A
HIGH-PROFILE PERSON, THEN YOU
HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY
DEFENDING YOURSELF.
AGAIN, CONSULT A LAWYER.
>> THE NUMBER ONE THING, YOU
HEAR ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MARK
HALPERIN ADMITTED SOME SORT OF
REGRET OVER WHAT HAPPENED IN HIS
CASE, BUT THE STORIES OF WHAT HE
DID TO THE WOMEN AS REPORTED BY
CNN ARE OF HIM COMING UP TO
WOMEN IN HIS OFFICE ASKING FOR
OPPORTUNITIES AT ABC AND HIM
RUBBING UP AGAINST HIM AROUSED.
YOU'RE SITTING IN YOUR CHAIR AND
SOMEBODY COMES.
NOW, WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO WOMEN
IS, REMEMBER THAT NO IS AN
AVAILABLE OPTION TO YOU.
YOU CAN GET UP AND WALK OUT.
YOU CAN SAY, NO, SIR.
AND YOU WILL BE IN THE RIGHT.
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT IN THE
ROOM WITH YOU WHEN THAT MOMENT
COMES, WE ARE WITH YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT.
I THINK TOO MANY WOMEN DON'T
KNOW THAT.
WE'RE TAKING YOUR FEEDBACK ON
THIS.
YOU CAN CONTACT US ON OUR
FACEBOOK PAGE.
FACEBOOK.COM/MEGYNTODAY WITH
YOUR STORIES AND YOUR COMMENTS.
>>> COMING UP, ON A DIFFERENT
NOTE, DID YOU KNOW THAT
STRANGERS LIE TO EACH OTHER AT
LEAST THREE TIMES IN THE FIRST
TEN MINUTES OF A CONVERSATION?
DR. PHIL KNOWS.
HE'S GOING TO BRING US THE CLUES
TO FIND THE LIARS ALL AROUND
Enamel is the strong, white,
outer layer of your tooth surface.
The thing that's really important to dentists
is to make sure that that enamel stays strong
and resilient for a lifetime
The more that we can strengthen
and re-harden that tooth surface,
the whiter their patients' teeth are going to be.
Dentists are going to really want to recommend
ProNamel Strong and Bright.
It helps to strengthen and re-harden the enamel.
It also has stain lifting action.
It's going to give their patients
the protection that they need
and the whiter teeth that they want.
