NEW YORK \u2013 Ashley Judd’s new movie is her most personal one yet. <\/p>\n

The actress\/activist plays a small but pivotal role as herself in the new drama “She Said” (in theaters Nov. 18), which details the exhaustive work of journalists to help expose Harvey Weinstein, a former Hollywood mogul and convicted sex offender. Judd, 54, was one of a handful of women who came forward to The New York Times in 2017 to accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct. <\/p>\n

Judd appears early in the movie, as she tells reporter Jodi Kantor (Zoe Kazan) that she was sexually harassed by Weinstein while shooting 1997’s “Kiss the Girls.” Later, she emotionally agrees to be named in the NYT piece, helping set off a tidal wave of other survivors publicly sharing their stories.<\/p>\n

Judd was greeted with a standing ovation at Thursday’s world premiere of “She Said” at New York Film Festival, where she was joined by other Weinstein accusers, who stood and embraced each other after the screening. <\/p>\n

“First of all, I just want to acknowledge my sisters and thank them for their courage,” Judd said during a post-screening Q&A, her voice cracking as she paid tribute to her late mom, country singer Naomi Judd, who died in April . “I just remember when I was speaking with my mother about this, she said, ‘Oh, go get ’em, honey.’ … She was just enthraled by my audacity (to speak out), as I later heard from our friends.” <\/p>\n
