The #MeToo movement gained a powerful voice today when Bette Midler posted about an accusation of assault she first made back in 1991.*

Those were different times, but now, in this moment of cultural reckoning, Midler's assertion that sexual assault is "not funny" is finally being heard.*

In a series of tweets, Midler shared a clip of an interview with Barbara Walters in which she recounted how Geraldo Rivera groped her without her consent when they met for the first time:
