The ongoing situation involving Hollywood exec Harvey Weinstein and multiple allegations of rape and sexual assault against him have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. One by one, other females are speaking up and telling their stories.
Just last night, a woman named Chelsea came forward with a story of rape by LA beatmaker The Gaslamp Killer, and now Aussie Alison Wonderland has come forward with her own recounting of a time she was subject to sexual harassment.
Years ago I got sexually harassed at my old job by a man high up in the company. It was awful. I cried. My dad had to pick me up from work..

The next day I went to HR & they said “well u are pretty and he was drunk” then subtly told me if I took it any further I would lose my job.

Just found him on Facebook. Thinking about telling his wife who I also found on Facebook. Young girls should stand for this.

Update: messaged her. Saying I probably wouldn’t take any more action but wanted her to know. Then I told her to have a nice day 👍🏻

Alison Wonderland has long been an advocate for women’s rights and mental health issues, and the fact that she’s found the courage to tell her story will no doubt continue to send ripples throughout the music and entertainment industries. In all likelihood, we will see more stories like Chelsea’s and Alison’s in the coming days.
