Golden Globes 2018: Celebrities Dress In Black To Protest Sexual Harassment
If you have been following Hollywood news & gossips recently, you would have at least an idea of how much sexual misconducts and harassment has pervaded the industry.
Because of that, lots of women in Hollywood are showed up in solidarity at the 75th Golden Globe Awards (See Nominees and Winners here) dressed in all black and appearing with activists, including the founder of #MeToo Tarana Burke.
Some big actresses have formed the activist group, Time’s Up, and penned an open letter. Among them … Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Debra Messing, Shonda Rhimes, Emma Stone, Charlize Theron, Sarah Jessica Parker and Michelle Williams, who brought #MeToo founder Tarana Burke as her guest.
The dress code was all black, a Time’s Up initiative at the Golden Globes, chosen as a way for the movie and TV industry to make a statement against a pervasive culture of misconduct, brought about by the downfall of shamed movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and a host of other sexual predators that were called out by #metoo victims.
The blackout was staged as a protest of sorts, but it’s also an effort to raise money for a legal defense fund for victims of sexual misconduct in the workplace. As of Sunday, the group had already raised upwards of $15 million, with a goal of at least $16 mil.
