Ashley Judd opened up about her experience with Harvey Weinstein in her first TV interview since the publication of a New York Times expose, three weeks ago, alleging that Weinstein had engaged in decades of sexual harassment, including with Judd. The actor told ABC News' Diane Sawyer, in a sit-down that aired in part on Thursday's Good Morning America, that she went for a run before she decided to reveal what happened to her to try to get her mind clear. She added that she talked with both her dad and her mom, Naomi Judd, and her mom said, "Go get him."

Judd tells Sawyer that she hadn't heard stories about Weinstein's alleged behavior before she was summoned to meet him in his hotel room at the Peninsula in Beverly Hills two decades ago and she had no reason to be wary of him. "I had no warning," she said. Still, when she went to the concierge to ask where she should meet Weinstein, assuming he'd be on the patio, she was told, "He's in his room."
Judd closed her eyes and recoiled when she recalled that to Sawyer and said she thought, "You're kidding me." She went up, she said, because, "I had a business appointment." But she recognises now, as more than 60 women have come forward with claims that Weinstein sexually harassed or assaulted them, that taking women to his hotel room was his right, she told Sawyer.'
