So far its just big names that have been axed, that we know of. There's got to be millions of these kinds of misdeeds, and worse, that have occurred over the last 30 to 40 years that have occurred in the general public. Imagine if they were all called to account now.

It is a great question (why is this happening), and I don't know the answer.
My guess is that the perversion that is considered 'normal' in the entertainment industry, has resulted in thousands of women who have been harassed. For some reason, they all felt unwilling to tell their story (I get why rape victims don't come forward, I can't imagine why a harassment victim wouldn't come forward, especially when Gloria Allred is happy to represent them in a huge lawsuit), and suddenly, they all feel empowered at the same time.
Too bad Ted Kennedy isn't around to get what's coming to him.
