The State Attorney Who Could Take Down R. Kelly Is an Outspoken Survivor of Sexual Abuse

Women in politics and Hollywood came together to talk about gender equality, the 2020 election, and sexual abuse om Feb. 19 — and the conversation that followed was equal parts uplifting and infuriating. CNN host and journalist Lisa Ling moderated a panel with actors Olivia Munn, Amber Tamblyn, and Melissa Fumero, and Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx — who is making headlines for going after R. Kelly — in a candid, moving discussion.

The event was hosted by EMILY's List, an organisation that helps elect Democratic, pro-choice women, and drew guests including Felicity Huffman and California Rep. Maxine Waters.
