Key moment: Gymnast Simone Biles testified before a Senate hearing in September 2021 about the abuse she and other women and girls endured from former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. Biles referenced #MeToo when she tweeted about the abuse on Jan. 15, 2018.
Historical significance: In 2006, Tarana Burke started a movement with the social media hashtag #MeToo, a way for women to share their experiences of sexual abuse, rape and harassment. The movement exploded following the sexual abuse allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Young adults are most likely to support #MeToo, according to a 2022 report.
