‘Captain’ Joanna won’t be wearing black at the Baftas

TRUST Joanna Lumley to speak more sense than everyone else put together about the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the accompanying #MeToo movement.

In an interview with a magazine, the 71-year-old actress (pictured) refused to accept the feminist ideology that all women are victims and all men are aggressors.

She said: ‘I’m full of sympathy for the horrors that have gone on, but be your own judge. If you don’t know whether to take your pants off and sleep with him, don’t scream later: “I didn’t want to do it!” It’s your ship, you’re the captain, so if somebody does something you don’t like, speak up. Don’t feel you ought to do it because you need a job. ‘Don’t go to someone’s hotel room late at night when you’re drunk. It’s not going to end well.’ Lumley is hosting the Baftas this weekend but, unlike most female attendees, she will not be wearing black to show solidarity with abused actresses. ‘I sorted out my outfit a long time ago,’ she said, crisply — just like any good captain would.
