Emma Watson broke her silence about the Harvey Weinstein affair when the disgraced Hollywood mogul was accused of rape today.

The Miramax co-founder was released from his post on Sunday after numerous women - including actresses Ashley Judd and Ambra Battilana - went public about his alleged behavior.
The producer, who is associated with almost every big name in Hollywood, worked with Emma Watson in 2011 when she starred in his film My Week With Marilyn.

The 27-year-old actress and activist for gender equality tweeted this afternoon in support of the women who had volunteered.
On Twitter, she wrote: "I stand by all the women who have been sexually molested, and I'm overwhelmed with their bravery, this mistreatment of women has to stop."

Watson worked with Weinstein when she was 19 for a movie produced by his company.
They were photographed together shortly after a night in Central London after a night in the BAFTAs.
Pictures taken at this time show a young Watson leaving Mahiki nighclub in London when the then 58-year-old producer grabbed her from behind.
In recent years, Watson has become a leading figure in the fight for gender equality, having held her position as ambassador for the United Nations United Nations Ambassador to the United Nations in 2014.
She joins one of the few high profile actors to talk about the allegations, as Weinstein's former contemporaries Gwenyth Paltrow and Julia Roberts remain silent.
Watson's comments came just hours after the recent allegation against Weinstein surfaced.
The Italian actress Asia Argento has accused Weinstein of raping her.

He was at a party in Miramax at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc when Weinstein showed her an empty room and asked her to give him a massage.
Reluctantly, she agreed, and midway, he began to perform oral sex on her, despite her repeated request that he should stop.

Afterwards, Argento said that her career had suffered, which she believed was related to the fact that she asked him to stop.

In total, 13 women said they were sexually harassed or attacked by Weinstein, and three said they had been raped.
A New York Times researcher claimed Thursday that Weinstein has repeatedly harassed a number of female employees and movie stars over the course of his three-decade career as one of Hollywood's most famous studio heads.

In one case, he asked Ashley Judd if she wanted to see him showering during a meeting in his room on the Peninsula Beverly Hills and paid $ 100,000 to Rose McGowan for an unknown incident, shortly after she had filmed her breakthrough role in the movie "Scream." , "

This settlement is one of eight that Weinstein is said to have paid out in the last 30 years. The Italian model Ambra Battilana also received an undisclosed sum in 2015 after she accused the Hollywood executive of grabbing her and putting his hand under her skirt.

Weinstein was fired Sunday by The Weinstein Company, just days after the Times published its findings. The movie mogul was ousted by the board of his own company. Weinstein founded the company in 2005 with his brother Bob when he left Miramax.
But since the allegations made national headlines, many A-listeners have been silent.
George Clooney and Jennifer Lawrence are among the few who publicly condemn their former boss.
