Ashley Judd will her give first television interview after the actor helped in bringing media mogul, Harvey Weinstein, under the scanner for sexually harassing dozens of women over a span of three decades.

The 49-year-old actor, who was one of the first actors to go on record to accuse Weinstein of sexual abuse in the October 5 New York Times article, will speak to Diane Sawyer, reported Variety.

The interview will air on Thursday across ABC News, including on "Good Morning America," "World News Tonight With David Muir," "Nightline," ABC News Digital, and ABC News Radio.

Judd also took to Twitter to confirm the news, saying, "I am looking ahead to my visit with @DianeSawyer and @ABC News tomorrow."
 

It was after the "Kiss The Girls" actor's allegations that led several women in Hollywood, such as Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lupita Nyong'o, Lea Seydoux, Cara Delevingne, Heather Graham, among others to share their unfortunate encounters with Weinstein.

In 2015, Judd had talked about being sexually harassed by a media mogul - whom she declined to name at the time.
