Everybody’s talking about: Law & Order SVU are doing an episode “addressing” the Harvey Weinstein scandal

Details have emerged this week that Law & Order will talk about workplace harassment with an episode set in the airline industry, as The Hollywood Reporter writes:

The veteran Dick Wolf procedural will explore rape culture in the workplace but it won’t be set in Hollywood. Instead, the hour will be set in the airline industry as producers on the Mariska Hargitay starrer were already working on the episode when the Weinstein scandal broke and proceeded to change Hollywood’s conversation about sexual harassment in the workplace.
“We were actually working on a story about airline pilots and what a boys club that is,” exec producer Michael Chernuchin told EW, who was first to report the SVU episode news. “We were beating the story out and said, ‘Wow, this is exactly what the actresses go through in Hollywood. It’s the same environment.’ So we got all of our Harvey stuff out with airline pilots.”
