Indeed, dozens of women have recently came forward alleging that they had been either sexually harassed or assaulted by producer Harvey Weinstein.

The scandal has also touched the likes of former House Of Cards star Kevin Spacey, Arrested Development actor Jeffrey Tambor and Pixar head John Lasseter who have been accused of sexual misconduct.

This month, Australian star Mel Gibson also spoke about the scandal, saying the controversy will ultimately be good for the industry.

The Guardian reported that Mel's comments came as he was in London to promote his new film Daddy's Home 2.

The Lethal Weapon star said that while painful, the revelations will ultimately have a positive effect on Hollywood.

'Things got shaken up a little bit and there is a lot of light being thrown in places where there were shadows and that is kind of healthy,' Mel said.

He continued: 'It's painful, but I think pain is a precursor to change.'
