As they famously say on Project Runway, “One day you’re in, and the next day you’re out!”  In this case, it’s the latter for Harvey Weinstein, who was just stripped of his executive producer credit from the hit reality show as claims continue to mount for his multiple accounts of sexual harassment with several different actresses.  Heidi Klum, who has been the host of the popular reality competition since it began, recently spoke out against her former coworker in support of all “brave women” out there who have opened up about their own similar incidents.

“I wish I could say that the horrible stories I read about Harvey Weinstein are a rare occurrence in our society, but that is simply not the case. We would be naive to think that this behavior only happens in Hollywood,” she said to PEOPLE Magazine

“This is one example of the more pervasive problem of the mistreatment of women around the world," she continues.  "I think it would be hard to find a woman – myself included – who have not had an experience where they have felt intimidated or threatened by a man using his power, position or his physical stature.”

“I truly admire these brave women who are coming forward to share their stories because change cannot come unless there is a dialogue and people are held accountable,” she concluded.
