Scarlet said, “I have met her several times in the past, and many years ago, and we both grew up in New York, and we have some friends in common. And she is a very well-spoken and smart,
intelligent woman, and I think engaging … but the whole situation baffles me.”
During the interview held by Arianna Huffington, the
actress said, “been thinking a lot about Ivanka Trump … very recently.”
“It was kind of baffling, I have to say; it was really baffling,” She added. “You can’t have it both ways, right? If you take a job as a public advocate, then you must advocate publicly. … Yesterday, she said something that I found particularly disappointing, which is that she felt that the greatest change she was going to make … would be behind closed doors, and nobody would actually know she made this change.”
In
an interview with CBS, Ivanka Trump explained that, “But I think most
of the impact I have, over time, most people will not actually know
about.”
Scarlet
replied. “How old-fashioned? This idea that behind a great man is a
great woman. What about being in front of that person, or next to that
person? It is such an old-fashioned concept that to be this powerful
woman, you know, you can’t appear to be concerned, that someone is going
to think that you are b****y or a powerful woman, you know. They get
concerned with this idea that they are going to be seen in this
unforgiving light and, you know, screw that. It is so old-fashioned, and
it is so uninspired and actually really cowardly.”
