Actresses reportedly planning harassment protest by wearing black on red carpets this winter

The #MeToo movement has been raging since October, toppling dozens of powerful men across a variety of industries. Though it’s getting difficult to track all of the accused, nobody can or will forget the first to fall was Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.

As the industry that enabled his bad behavior for decades approaches its annual award show season, actresses appear to be preparing a statement. People Magazine reported late last week that “many major actresses,” including women who are presenting awards or are nominated for awards, “are planning to wear all-black looks as a symbol of protest against harassment in Hollywood.” According to People, the protest is slated to kick off at the Golden Globes on Jan. 7, but may be replicated at other ceremonies as well.
