London: Actor Liam Neeson says the Hollywood sexual harassment scandal has sparked “a bit of a witch hunt.” Asked about the issue on the Irish broadcaster RTE, Neeson said: “There’s some people, famous people, being suddenly accused of touching some girl’s knee or something and suddenly they’re being dropped from their program.” [caption id=“attachment_4302157” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] File image of Liam Neeson.

But the 65-year-old Taken star also said in Friday’s Late Late Show that the “#MeToo” movement taking place “across every industry (is) healthy.”
