"Me too. Suggest by a friend: 'If all women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote 'Me Too.' as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem,'" she wrote.

Milano followed up that tweet with another that said "Me Too."

It comes on the heels of dozens of sexual assault and harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
