I mean, look at this thread with all the 'savage' and 'rekts'. The obvious implication here is that she is, indeed, calling her cowardly for not testifying.
There's no way Portman is dumb enough not to realize it when everyone in this thread did.
Eh, calling the ones who testify brave isn't the same as shaming the ones who don't.
Why are people giving Portman props? She's shitting on a rape victim like its some kind of gotcha moment.
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.
Why did McGowan make that comment in the first place? Isn't she a feminist? Uttering the phrase "performative wokeness" makes you sound like some alt-right troll. Is there beef between the two women that I am unaware of?

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.Natalie Portman Responds to Rose McGowan’s Criticism of Her Oscar Dress

RIP Rose McGowan.
That part was said by Variety, not Portman.I'm wondering if they stopped reading before they got to the part about the settlement.
There are no perfect victims. Rose McGowan is far from a perfect victim.
Eh, calling the ones who testify brave isn't the same as shaming the ones who don't.
Edit: I see what people are saying wrt the settlement, but I'm not sure the intent is as viscious as it looks. McGowan still supports the women testifying. I think Portman is just adding her name to that support.

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

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.
That's how I'm reading it and I choose to believe she didn't intend to smear Rose with that statement.Best case scenario, Portman meant no shade. Worst case scenario, yikes.
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 thoughHer production company Handsomecharlie films and their directors:
I mean I like her, but this isn't it.

Pretty obvious she's calling her a coward for taking money instead of helping get the scumbag a long prison sentence considering he raped and diminished her career.
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.Pretty obvious she's calling her a coward for taking money instead of helping get the scumbag a long prison sentence considering he raped and diminished her career.
You don't kick a rape victim for taking a settlement. That's a wee bit monstrous.
She can do what she wants. Maybe Rose should have left her alone and kept her name out her mouth.
