Scarlett Johansson has called Ivanka Trump “cowardly” and “uninspired” for not denouncing some of Trump’s more outlandish policies.
Ivanka had said something about standing up to her dad behind closed doors, which is what Scarlett was responding to.
“I thought to myself, ‘Well, that’s empowering.’ How old-fashioned, this idea that behind a great man is a great woman. What about being in front of that person or next to that person? … Powerful women often get concerned with this idea that they’re going to be seen in this unforgiving light. Screw that. … It’s so uninspired and actually really cowardly. And I was so disappointed by that interview she gave yesterday.”
Scarlett and Ivanka both grew up in New York City and have met a few times.
“She has an opportunity to make a big impact just by being vocal. She’s very well spoken, smart and intelligent woman and engaging. It baffles me.”
