Celebrities react to Harvey Weinstein's arrest

Seven months after women began coming forward accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault and harassment, the disgraced film producer has been arrested in New York City.

More than 80 women have accused Harvey of alleged incidents that span several decades. Finally, on Friday, those who suffered at the hands of Weinstein saw him handcuffed and lead away.

He is charged with four offences, including rape and a criminal sex act on two women. The 66-year-old's lawyer told reporters he was likely to plead not guilty. 

Below, see how celebrities - many of whom were personally affected by Weinstein - are reacting to the arrest.

I, and so many of Harvey Weinstein's survivors, had given up hope that our rapist would be held accountable by law. Twenty years ago, I swore that I would right this wrong. Today we are one step closer to justice. We were young women who were assaulted by Weinstein and later terrorized by his vast network of complicity. I stand with my fellow survivors. May his arrest give hope to all victims and survivors everywhere that are telling their truths.
