IT MAKES THEM LOOK WEAK: LILO AGAINST #METOO

Actor Lindsay Lohan has slammed the #MeToo movement, saying the campaign makes women look “weak”.

The movement, which was started outside Hollywood in 2006, became huge in late 2017, after a New York Times investigation into the alleged sex crimes of producer Harvey Weinstein. Many women, including well-known actors, have since then spoken of their harrowing experiences.

Lohan spoke about the movement in an interview with The Times, explaining that she never had negative experiences in Hollywood. “So, I don’t really have anything to say. I can’t speak on something I didn’t live, right? Look, I am very supportive of women. Everyone goes through their own experiences in their own ways,” she said.

“If it happens at that moment, you discuss it at that moment. You make it a real thing by making it a police report. I’m going to really hate myself for saying this, but I think by women speaking against all these things, it makes them look weak when they’re very strong women. You have these girls who come out, who don’t even know who they are, who do it for the attention. That is taking away from the fact that it happened,” Lohan added.

Last year, the actor had defended Weinstein after he initially faced a slew of sexual assault allegations.

“I feel very bad for Harvey Weinstein right now. I don’t think it’s right what’s going on. I think Georgina (his wife, now separated) needs to take a stand and be there for her husband. He’s never harmed me or did anything to me. We’ve done several movies together. I think everyone needs to stop. I think it’s wrong. So, stand up,” she had said in an Instagram video.
