Priyanka Chopra supports Time s Up campaign
New York Jan 8 (IANS) Even if actress Priyanka Chopra was not at the 75th Golden Globe Awards it didn t stop her from lending support to the Time s Up campaign by sporting an all-black ensemble.
The actress took to Instagram to shared a photograph of herself in an all-black ensemble -- much like what was flaunted by Hollywood s Who s Who at the awards gala on Sunday in Los Angeles.
She captioned it: "Today we wear black. Wherever you are whoever you are whatever you re doing... join us. Time s Up. Why we wear black."
The Golden Globe Awards event saw most celebrities in black ensembles signifying a silent protest against the spate of sexual harassment scandals that have rocked Hollywood. Putting out the message louder were black-and-white Time s Up pins.
The colour black was chosen as a way for the movie and TV industry to make a statement against a pervasive culture of misconduct.
The Time s Up campaign is a coalition of 300 Hollywood women-actors directors producers writers agents and entertainment executives-who have also established a $13 million legal defence fund to provide support for women and men who have experienced sexual harassment or abuse in the workplace.
