Salma Hayek, the star of the Miramax-produced Frida, broke her silence about the alleged abuses she suffered at the hands of Harvey Weinstein, a man she's calling "her monster" in a devastatingly vivid New York Times article

Her story makes clear how male abuses of power in Hollywood aren't actually just about sex, but also about gatekeeping prestige filmmaking from women — especially those of color.
