Job Scared: Lawyer Richard Celler Reacts to Weinstein Sexual Harassment Allegations

The casting couch allegations are absolutely insane.

Want to know something that should outrage you even more?

As a leading employment lawyer in Florida representing employees - I can tell you, I'm not surprised by the allegations.

If you haven't directly experienced harassment or possibly pressured (made job scared unless you comply)...

You may be tempted to think - mistakenly - that the outrageous behavior being Harvey Weinstein is alleged to have used with the many actresses who have come forward publicly is rare.

Ever wonder what your legal options are if your boss invites you to a private meeting in a hotel suite and acts inappropriately?

What about if you are auditioning for work of some kind, and end up in a casting couch situation where the role you want is made available only if sexual favors are accepted?

The fact is, I hear on a nearly daily basis in my practice the stories of women who have been victimized and harassed in the workplace - it's shameful.

Being pressured into sexual conduct by your employer, harassed and / or made job scared to get you to do something... It's terrible AND illegal.

Making matters worse is the apparent hypocrisy of silence in the movie industry if the stories are true. Turning a blind eye to such behavior over the course of decades - if this turns out to be true - Hollywood should be ashamed.

This isn't a political rant...

Hear my perspective as an attorney who represents women mistreated in the workplace with regards the Weinstein controversy.

It's VERY IMPORTANT you understand you have a voice in the workplace.

Important labor laws exist providing you protections as a worker, and lawyers like myself are here to fight vigorously to hold employers accountable for their actions.

Only if you use your voice.
