Hollywood, for once, has become a battleground for women’s rights, especially since celebrity after celebrity has been accused of violating acts ranging from sexual harassment to rape. This battle continued to the Golden Globes on Jan. 7, 2018, where almost everyone attending was wearing black to support sexual assault victims.

The black attire was inspired by the Time’s Up movement, which was inspired by the “Me Too” movement taking over the Internet. In late 2017, prominent women in the entertainment industry came together to create an organization which provides numerous ways to help women. Time’s Up has even raised over $16 million to provide legal defense for anyone who has experienced workplace misconduct.

I was impressed when I saw celebrities posting online about how they were wearing black to support sexual assault victims. It was astonishing to see so many different people come together on an important issue.  But I was surprised when I realized that the same people working with and supporting accused rapists were on the red carpet going on and on about how they support women. How can they support women when they support the same men that have violated women? It is completely contradicting.

Kate Winslet, actress, actually supported Woody Allen, who was accused of sexually assaulting his own daughter. Then she had the audacity to attend the Golden Globes wearing black to “support” victims of sexual abuse. One cannot support victims of sexual abuse while supporting someone who does the actual abusing.

In an interview with the New York Times, she was asked about the allegations against Allen. Winslet said, “I don’t know anything, really, and whether any of it is true or false. Having thought it all through, you put it to one side and just work with the person.”

I guess not all of us can put aside sexual assault allegations like Winslet can.

Winslet isn’t the only one to think she can say one thing and do the complete opposite. Many people in Hollywood believe that they’re still advocates for women when they have clearly shown otherwise. Justin Timberlake has also worked with Allen, and yet he showed up to the Golden Globes in a black suit which was adorned by a Time’s Up button. While promoting his movie “Wonder Wheel,” Timberlake said that it was a “dream come true” to work with Allen.

If the Golden Globes gave out awards for the best hypocrite, both Timberlake and Winslet would be nominees.

Many women who also signed the Time’s Up initiative had previously worked with and endorsed Allen. Blake Lively and Scarlett Johansson are just a few examples. I can’t help but wonder why these celebrities can say they support women, but not change anything about their own behavior to show they really support women. The only possible answer that comes to my mind is that they don’t want to change their behavior. They seem to not have any problems with their contradicting behavior and seem to believe that they haven’t done anything wrong.

I, on the other hand, do have problems with their hypocrisy, as do others.

Dylan Farrow, Allen’s daughter who revealed that he allegedly sexually assaulted her, also found an issue with the behavior of many celebrities. “That said, the people who join this movement without taking any kind of personal accountability for the ways in which their own words and decisions have helped to perpetuate the culture they are fighting against, that’s hard for me to reconcile,” Farrow said in a statement to Buzzfeed.

The message that Time’s Up is spreading is an important one. However, the message’s meaning is diminished when celebrities are not willing to take responsibility for how their actions contribute to the problem and not the solution.
