The Me Too movement has made a name for itself as a social movement against sexual abuse and sexual harassment where people publicize allegations of sex crimes. Seemingly a trend, quite a few celebrities have come under fire for past actions.

Remember that scene in The Adam’s Family (1991) starring Christina Ricci? Wednesday was asked why she wasn’t wearing a Halloween costume and she replied saying that she was 一 she was depicting a “homicidal maniac.” “They look like everyone else.”

He also sued a second accuser going by the name of Kadi, for $10 million in damages after they accused the singer of sexually assaulting them.
When the singer first denied the allegations, he also presented proof that he was elsewhere during the time of the first claim against him.

Justin Bieber, however, was able to show that he was indeed in the city amid the alleged incident, but did not stay at the Four Seasons Hotel or even had a room there. He was with his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez at the time.
Bieber believes Danielle “fabricated the allegations based on public reports that he ate at the Four Seasons Restaurant on March 10, 2014. In Kadi’s original allegation, she claimed Justin assaulted her at the Langham Hotel in New York City at approximately 2:30 AM on May 5, 2015. Justin insisted Kadi’s claim too wasn’t plausible.
Justin Bieber says he was in New York City in May 2015, attending the Met Gala. He was also present at a private after-party where he stayed until 4 AM. The singer added he had photographic evidence and several witnesses to back him up.
