Natalie Portman responds to 'fraud' criticism of Oscars cape

 

Rose McGowan hit out at Natalie Portman for the cape she wore to the Oscars

 

Natalie Portman has defended her choice to wear a cape embroidered with the names of female filmmakers who were not nominated at the Oscars, saying it was "a simple nod" to highlight gender inequality in Hollywood.

 

The Dior outfit the star wore on Sunday at the Oscars has divided opinion on social media, while actress and activist Rose McGowan expressed her "disgust" at Portman and accused her of "acting the part of someone who cares".

 

McGowan, 46, dismissed the Oscars gesture as a "protest that gets rave reviews from the mainstream media" and said Portman had only worked with two female directors during her "very long career - one of them was you".

 

She added: "I was at a Women in Film event that you spoke at once, Natalie. You reeled off depressing statistics and then we all went back to our salads.

Either way not only are you talking about the issue, you are also talking about her. Double win for win Natalie!!
