the accusations against Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Piven, Oliver Stone and more.

Charlie Walk

The Republic Records Group president was accused of sexual misconduct by former Sony colleague Tristan Coopersmith in an open letter on Monday, January 29. She alleged that he sent her explicit text messages, groped her at business dinners and made unwelcome advances toward her. Though he has denied the allegations, claiming he worked with her 15 years ago “without incident," he resigned on February 1, from Fox’s singing competition show The Four: Battle for Stardom, which he was a judge on.

Paul Marciano

Kate Upton accused Guess cofounder Paul Marciano of sexual misconduct on January 31. “It’s disappointing that such an iconic women’s brand @GUESS is still empowering Paul Marciano as their creative director #metoo,” the 25-year-old model tweeted. Upton shared her tweet on Instagram and added, “He shouldn’t be allowed to use his power in the industry to sexually and emotionally harass women #metoo.” The fashion designer denied Upton’s accusations to TMZ.

Scott Baio

The former Happy Days star, 57, denied on January 27, 2017, that he molested his Charles in Charge costar Nicole Eggert when she was a minor. The Baywatch alum, 46, claimed in a series of tweets that Baio digitally penetrated her, starting at the age of 14 until she was 17. In a Facebook live video, Baio denied the allegations and said his "reputation was being damaged" by Eggert's claims, but he did acknowledge that they had consensual sex when she was at least 18 years old. "The problem with almost all he said-she said cases is they're he said-she said. Now, go prove it or disprove it," he said in the video. "The real problem with this is people with legitimate claims aren't taken seriously — and that’s too bad."
