I don't know. I think people are so conditioned to expect vitriol that they see it everywhere. But I'm not going to tell people how to feel about this. She's probably going to have to come out with a statement to address this statement.
Her production company Handsomecharlie films and their directors:
- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Burr Steers
- No Strings Attached: Ivan Reitman
- Jane Got a Gun: Gavin O'Connor
- Hesher: Spencer Susser
- Love And Other Impossible Pursuits: Don Roos
- Eating Animals: Christopher Dillon Quinn
- Foxy Trotter: Chris Pryonski
- Eve (short): Natalie Portman
- A Tale of Love and Darkness: Natalie Portman
The context of Portman replying to McGowan with that comment certainly implies that it is. But maybe Portman genuinely didn't mean it that way. She should probably clarify if that's not how she means it, because I can see how it would be interpreted that way, knowing McGowan's history.
What a shitty thing to say.
Fucking embarrassing that people apparently like that statement as well.

Performative wokeness is absolutely a thing and Hollywood is the greatest example you'll find of it in action.
I think most of the backlash seems to be because Portman's production company has never hired a female director other than herself out of I think seven movies.
I'm wondering if they stopped reading before they got to the part about the settlement.
.
Kinda messed up for Portman to bring this up in this kind of discussion....who are we to say how a victim should handle abuse ?
ah yeah the best forms of social justice are calling a rape survivor a coward and putting names on a Dior cape

There are no perfect victims. Rose McGowan is far from a perfect victim.
I keep going back to the last line of this OP and just shaking my head.Rose McGowan didn't like Natalie Portman's Oscar capes that had the names of snubbed female directors on it. McGowan basically accused Portman of performative wokeness. Portman responded to that shot with some savagery that I did not expect.

RIP Rose McGowan.
Oh wow, she implies a rape victim is a coward because said victim doesn't want to relive their trauma in front of the entire world.
Portman can fuck right off with this crap, and so can the OP with their framing of this.

Natalie Portman is not an idiot. She knew exactly what she was doing/saying/implying.
if she genuinely didnt mean offense uh...okay i guess
not sure i buy that but i dont claim to know everything about people
still is kind of a deflection from outright responding to the stupid cape thing

I know, I thought that maybe people weren't getting the whole context.
It wouldn't be "savage" if people didn't feel it dealt a blow to Rose.

Don't dish it if you cant take it. Why does Portman have to sugarcoat and be sensitive towards her taking a payout? She doesn't.
I thought that might be the title's work, but maybe I'm giving people too much credit.
You don't kick a rape victim for taking a settlement. That's a wee bit monstrous.
That's how I'm reading it and I choose to believe she didn't intend to smear Rose with that statement.
To be fair, Jane Got a Gun was supposed to be directed by Lynne Ramsay but she left the first day of production. Not a good look overall though
I don't think there's any argument on what she means, just that it's such an unbelievably shitty thing to say - and I'm surprised that she'd say it.
How the hell is that an acceptable thing to say to anyone?! Thats not being savage, thats just plain despicable.
Which she has been incredibly public about for years at this point. Do you even remotely understand what trial entails for a rape victim? There is a reason why most people never come forward. This is textbook victim blaming, it's disgusting, and you should be ashamed of posting this.
So Rose accuses Natalie of being a hypocrite and Natalie accuses Rose of being a sellout.
This is a lose-lose situation. Nobody is in the right here.

She can do what she wants. Maybe Rose should have left her alone and kept her name out her mouth.
Both lose here.
Rose shouldn't have criticized Natalie for her outfit. She was fucking presenting the Best Director Award ffs, it was a great way to get her point across.
Natalie's response is absolute shit though for shaming a rape victim for accepting a settlement instead of being forced to relive her rape in court.
I think Natalie loses more as Rose's criticism was just kind of petty while Natalie's is just disgusting.
