Meryl Streep, Amy Schumer And More Want Donald Trump To Know: ‘It’s Not Okay’

By Kate Morawetz.

Stars like Meryl Streep, Amy Schumer, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Whoopi Goldberg, Amber Tamblyn, Rosie Perez, Rose McGowan and Lena Dunham are putting their Hollywood power behind a new PSA created by Oscar-nominated Director Liz Garbus.

Throughout the video, survivors of sexual assault describe what happened to them, intermixed with lewd comments made by Donald Trump during his now infamous interview with former “Access Hollywood” Reporter Billy Bush.

Rose McGowan shares her own sexual assault experience, starting with the fact she was only 14-years-old when it happened.

While Amber Tamblyn comments on the Republican Presidential nominee’s inability to “understand [the difference] between words and actions.” “Especially when you’re a man in a position of power and you talk publicly and you say those things you are telling the world — you are telling everyone — that it’s okay to behave that way.”

Liz Garbus shares a statement regarding what inspired her to create the PSA, saying “Like so many others, I have been horrified and saddened by the language used in the Trump campaign to describe women, people of colour, immigrants, the disabled and others.”

The director says she wanted “to share the OTHER side of the story – stories of women being objectified, kissed, groped and humiliated by the words and actions of others. These words and actions have a huge effect on women’s lives. And we are here to say, together, in one loud voice, that this is NOT OKAY.”
