Ilana Glazer fired Broad City staff over sexual harassment

'Getting sexually harassed seems to be a constant, but having the opportunity to do something about it is rare'

Twitter's #MeToo, created by Alyssa Milano, has crafted a space where women can speak frankly about their experiences with sexual assault and harassment, supported in the knowledge that these experiences are almost universal.

Many stars have added their stories to the hashtag, with the likes of Anna Paquin, Lady Gaga, America Ferrera, Patricia Arquette Debra Messing, Marlee Matlin, Gabrielle Union, and Rosario Dawson all supporting the movement.

One story comes from Broad City's co-creator Ilana Glazer, which included not only her own experience with harassment, but how she's acted to put a stop to harassment.

"I've fired a couple dudes," Glazer wrote on Instagram. "One background actor and one sound guy. i was asked 'are you sure?' hm okay yeah lemme think a sec — YEAH I'M F*CKING SURE. cuz getting sexually harassed seems to be a constant, but having the opportunity to do something about it is rare."

In terms of her own experiences, she wrote: "I've been sexually harassed countless times. in middle school, in high school -- by more teachers than students! at work as a waitress, at work as a showrunner! same same same - i was a woman in both places."
