As we reported, Rose McGowan recently called out Meryl Streep and other actresses planning to wear black to the Golden Globes in silent protest to gender inequality and sexual harassment. The Harvey Weinstein accuser pointed out the ‘hypocrisy’ of the movement, saying the gowns would ‘affect no real change’ in a biting tweet.
Amber Tamblyn has now publicly (and privately) responded in disapproval to McGowan’s criticism of the Hollywood actresses trying to make a difference.

Tamblyn wrote in a thread on Twitter:
THREAD: Rose McGowan is a friend and while I support her kind of movement, I do not support any woman (or man) shaming or taunting the movements of other women who are trying to create change. Telling us to all wear Marchesa? This is beneath you, Rose.

You don’t have to support and stand with us, but we stand and support you. You may take below the belt shots at us but we will not take them at you in return.

Our movement is big. And a black dress is just the beginning of the darkness that will be drained from every industry across the country by the time we’re done. That’s a promise.

And we stand together in this fight, shoulder to shoulder, weapon to weapon, woman to woman (and man), body to burned body. And our arms are open. And our hearts two fold. And our fire will be a universal scorch. Heed the mantra: #ChangeIsComing

Asia, I did. I spoke to her for over an hour.

Her statement was public and hurtful to some women so a public response was earned. I spoke to her at length today, she knows how I feel. I love Rose fiercely, that will never change. To be critical of an action is not to condemn the person behind it. There’s your common message. https://t.co/zniyfPZzPT
