Ashley Judd, who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, claims her mother Naomi instructed her to kick him out

Actress Ashley Judd stars in She Said, the new movie about the explosive New York Times investigation into the infamous movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. Judd was the first person to speak out against Weinstein to The Times.

When I told my mother about it, I will never forget the beautiful and harmonious tone she used when she said it to me. At the film’s New York Film Festival premiere, actress Ashley Judd told her audience that her late mother, legendary singer Naomi Judd, didn’t have a single vengeful bone in her body. said.

Judd said she was fascinated by my audacity, as she later heard from others.

The actress, who was greeted with a standing ovation when she took the podium at Manhattan’s Lincoln Center, said the Times’ investigation and the #MeToo movement started by Tarana Burke led her to reconsider her events and how they were assaulted. When she used to disrespect them.

The new film, directed by Maria Schrader, stars Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan as journalists Megan Twohy and Jodie Kanter respectively. The book the team wrote about their work on Weinstein, which inspired others to come forward, is the basis for the film.

Kazan said there had been several advances in the film industry, citing the increasingly common practice of employing intimacy coordinators on film sets as one example of these advances.

Kazan said that his first encounter with it felt “really weird” during the prep, but when it happened, he noticed a “pause” and told him not to throw punches unless the stunt coordinator was present. It makes perfect sense…why wasn’t this included in the first place?
