Hollywood Rushes to Back Salma Hayek for Sharing Her Harvey Weinstein Horror Story
View Story"All female actresses attending the Globes are protesting by just wearing black gowns," a source told People. Claudia and Jackie Oshry also confirmed the news on their show, "The Morning Breath."
People's sources also said the all-black trend may extend through the rest of the 2018 award season.
As recently as Wednesday, Salma Hayek detailed the sexual harassment she allegedly experienced at the hands of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in a lengthy op-ed for The New York Times. "For years, he was my monster," she wrote.
She described the "Machiavellian rage" she experienced every time she'd say "no" to Weinstein's sexual advances while filming "Frida" alongside one of Weinstein's first accusers, Ashley Judd. Hayek said he threatened to shut down production unless she "agreed to do a sex scene with another woman" with full-frontal nudity, and that he once told her, "I will kill you. Don't think I can't."
