WASHINGTON – Nicole Kidman conceded Wednesday that Hollywood has probably contributed to violence against women by portraying them as weak sex objects.
The Oscar-winning actress said she is not interested in those kinds of demeaning roles, adding that the movie industry also has made an effort to contribute to solutions for ending the violence.
Kidman testified before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee that is considering legislation to address violence against women overseas through humanitarian relief efforts and grants to local organizations working on the problem.
Asked by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., if the movie industry has "played a bad role," Kidman said "probably," but quickly added that she herself doesn't.
"I can't be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career," she said.

Oh and running around nude in movies didn’t portray them as weak sex objects, right?
I think Nicole Kidman is good looking beyond a shadow of doubt. I also believe Nicole Kidman wouldn’t know what real life was if it slapped her in the mouth.
LOL! That would be MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM-——MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Exactly. Nicole Kidman is nice but too old for those beaten bimbo roles. She’s not getting any invitations for such
First movie I saw her was 1990 or so. Two couples at sea start fighting and one guy is psycho. Zane? I think she was the heroine in that movie
Sometimes all you can say is “duh” !
LOL! I didn’t say she was bright...just mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Nicole Kidman’s movie “Birth”. The premise of the show is that Kidman’s dead husband is reincarnated and comes to visit her as a 10-year-old boy. The problems arrise when the 37-year-old “rekindles” her relationship with her husband, played by 11-year-old Cameron Bright. This includes some “tender” kissing and a nude bath scene.
You have to give her credit tho. She had to share a bed (?maybe) with that short little dude that Hollywood loves.
