Actress Alyssa Milano did an interview where she broke down why she hasn’t said anything about Tara Reade’s credible story about Joe Biden assaulting her.

A lot of this is deeply disturbing, but these three quotes in particular stood out to me.

1/4

“I did my work and I spoke to Times Up”

Speaking to one elite organizing is not doing the "work." Has Milano tried reaching out to Tara Reade to hear from her directly? I’m not sure if Reade even wants to speak to anybody, but has an effort been made before dismissing her story?

“I’m sure that the mainstream media would be jumping all over this...if they found more evidence”

Really??? That Alyssa Milano feels that the mainstream media would take the side of a sexual assault survivor over one of the most powerful men in the world is astonishing.

“So I’m just kind of staying quiet about it.”

And her silence speaks volumes.

As an advocate, if skeptical, Milano should be calling for a thorough & transparent investigation that centers the story of the survivor.

Instead she’s going out of her way to dismiss Tara’s story.
