Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino, two actresses defamed film producer Harvey Weinstein claimed to have blacklisted, made a bold statement at Sunday’s Academy Awards by showing up as each other’s date.
“I want people to know that this movement isn’t stopping,” Sorvino said in a red carpet interview. “We want to take our activism and our power into action.”

“I’m so fortunate to be with my friend, acting colleague, fellow humanitarian, fellow Harvard graduate. I chose my date extremely well,” she added.

I love when people ask Ashley Judd what made her decide to come forward during #MeToo and you can see her use all her energy to stop from screaming “I’ve been telling this story since 97 and you just didn’t care!!!!”

Harvey Weinstein launched a smear campaign against Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino after they spurned his advances. Peter Jackson later confirmed that it ultimately cost both actresses roles in Lord of the Rings.
