'Brave is a term I more strongly associate with actions like those of the women who have been testifying against Harvey Weinstein ,' says Natalie Portman
The statement comes after McGowanWhile walking red carpet before the ceremony, Portman, 38, wore a black cape
“I agree with Ms. McGowan that it is inaccurate to call me ‘brave’ for wearing a garment with women’s names on it,” Portman said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. “Brave is a term I more strongly associate with actions like those of the women who have been testifying against Harvey Weinstein the last few weeks, under incredible pressure.
Portman specifically responded to that part of McGowan’s post as well, saying that she’s tried to work with other female directors but the projects haven’t worked out.
