Award-winning actress Meryl Streep took a shot at first lady Melania Trump and White House adviser Ivanka Trump for their silence on sexual harassment.
Hollywood and Washington have been grappling with sexual misconduct allegations in recent months, and numerous well-known men in the media, politics, and the entertainment industry have been forced to resign or were fired as accusations surface.
In an interview with the New York Times published Wednesday, Streep was asked about her own silence on the allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein.
I dont want to hear about the silence of me. I want to hear about the silence of Melania Trump. (emphasis mine) I want to hear from her. She has so much thats valuable to say. And so does Ivanka. I want her to speak now, Streep responded.

Both Trump women don’t work in Hollywood.
They don’t know who the sexual predators are.
Strap Throat knows all the players and kept silent for decades.
FU MS.
This back when he was single. I have seen "groupies" do all kinds of stuff for some rock star. They will throw themselves at them.
How many years did she ‘keep silent’ on Harvey Wine Stine?
Sexual predators, of course, are by no means limited to only Hollywood and the “beautiful people”.
There may have even been some who, at one time or another, circled close to Trump World. But in just about every instance, they were quickly identified and slipped away ignominiously, or if they remained undetected, were swiftly set upon by the ladies of conscience in Trump World, when they did reveal themselves, whereupon those same predator types departed in more public ignominy.
There is no “cone of silence” in Trump World.
Melania and Ivanka have not worked in Hollywood or DC their entire adult lives. They have no knowledge if the issue. Man, Streep is dumb.
Yep, I heard it too. It’s the second time that I’ve heard a guest say the very same thing without the host making the correction. It’s irritating when the hosts let these things slide.
LOOK WHOS TALKIN!!!!!!!! Smh
Wow! Meryl really seems determined to go out guns a-blazin’!
Thats known as deflection
I would like to see the First Lady and Ivanka react to Streep in the same way as President Trump did to Eminem, don’t dignify her with a response. Nothing galls an attention whore more than being ignored.
This could be the first time Meryl doesn't want to hear about herself and thinks what somebody else has to say is more valuable than what she says herself.
A sign of progress?
Her lashing out proves she is angry and bitter over this Weinstein stuff.
I am on schadenfreude overload.
Meryl Streep..Up yours you phony!
I always liked Meryls movies but will never see another one of hers again.
Want to insult Streep? Remind her of Katherine Hepburn’s comments about Meryl’s acting. Tick tock, tick tock, she could see the gears working. A great actress or actor makes it look effortless and spontaneous. Meryl Steep is about as spontaneous as one of the automatons at Disneyland.
How long was streep silent about Harvey Weinsteins Grappling?!
Says the broad who slept with whoever(s) to get roles in Hollywood. My God! The hypocrisy!!!!!!
They’re waiting the 25+ years it took you to open your mouth about what you knew.
The Trump ladies probably have no experience with that sort of thing because they don’t hang out with perverts.
