Ivanka Trump is getting a lot of backlash for her part in the current US administration, second only, of course, to her father, also known as Cheeto-in-Chief. Actress Scarlett Johansson went after Ivanka at the Women in the World Summit. In reference to Ivanka’s interview with Gayle King, Scarlett judged Ivanka as “cowardly” and found her answers “baffling.”

Scarlett minced no words as she said, “[Ivanka] said … she felt that the greatest change, the biggest influence that she would have, the change that she would make, actually would be behind closed doors, and nobody would actually know that she had made this change. And I thought, well that’s empowering! How old-fashioned, you know, this idea that behind a great man is a great woman.”

The Ghost in the Shell actress spoke more on how Ivanka is pushing back the idea of women empowerment,  “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*tchy… screw that, it is so old-fashioned and it is so uninspired and actually really cowardly.”

Despite this, Scarlett was a little empathetic of Ivanka. The presidential daughter is faced with a whirlwind of issues since her father’s inauguration while her husband Jared Kushner is suddenly in charge of foreign policy. She said further, “I can’t imagine how complicated it must be to see your parent in this sudden position that he is in, and know deep down, that it is a position that he never really wanted, and now he is in this position, and he finds himself there and I think it must be—as a daughter, and someone that looks up to a parental figure like that—it must be a unique and strange thing, but she has an opportunity to really make a big impact just by being vocal.”

Ivanka has been quite the topic of recent headlines. She recently got schooled by Merriam-Webster over the word “complicit.” She is also judged for condoning the misogynistic remarks of her father and his systematic takedown of women’s rights. If there’s such a thing as “Free Melania,” should there be a “Free Ivanka” as well?
