Charles Esten is all smiles as he hits the stage with his guitar at CMT’s Nashville: In Concert Final Season Celebration held at the Grand Ole Opry House on Sunday (March 25) in Nashville, Tenn.

The 52-year-old actor was joined at the event by his co-stars Chris Carmack, Sam Palladio, Jake Etheridge, Nic Luken, Rainee Blake, Kaitlin Doubleday, Clare Bowen and her husband Brandon Robert Young.

While at the celebration, Charles, who plays Deacon, thanked the city for embracing him and his cast members: “This show has been embraced by Nashville from the very beginning,” Charles said. “At first, they were worried when they first saw it, but as soon as they saw it, they realized that it was a love letter to this town. I hope they continue to take it as such.”

In the wake of the sexual harassment scandals coming to light and rocking Hollywood and beyond, Kaitlin Doubleday is now opening up with her own story about going up to Harvey Weinstein‘s hotel room.

In her story, published on Friday (December 8), Kaitlin details her first meeting with Harvey in 2009 at the Inglorious Basterds premiere. Despite having heard rumblings of his sexual misconduct, she decided to meet with him after he asked her to come up to his room to decide on an ending for the movie Nine.

“Women make decisions like the one I did for so many reasons. Women go into the hotel room because so many of the doors they see are closed. It can be tempting to enter the one that remains open,” she wrote.

“I went up to his room because I was desperate and had been, on some level, since I first started acting. I’ve had struggles with my appearance, self-esteem and self-worth. Harvey made me feel like he saw me for my intelligence and not for my body. That’s what breaks my heart about this experience the most. It feels so thrilling when you believe you are being seen as an equal that you are putty in the hands of someone like Harvey, who will use those vulnerabilities against you.”
