Oprah Winfrey Gathers Hollywood's Most Powerful Women to Talk About the Impact of the Time's Up Movement

According to Hollywood Reporter, Oprah Winfrey sat down with some of Hollywood's most powerful women to discuss the impact of Time's Up on a recent segment on CBS Sunday Morning. Among the women were Reese Witherspoon, Kathleen Kennedy, Natalie Portman, America Ferrera, Nina Shaw, Tracee Ellis Ross and Shonda Rhimes.

Among the topics discussed was director Woody Allen, who has been repeatedly accused of molestation by Dylan Farrow. Allen has denied the allegations.

Farrow said in a series of tweets during last weekend's Golden Globes, "is time really up now?"

"I hope so," Rhimes said in the interview with Oprah. "You know, I'll be honest. I don't know about anybody else, but I hope so."

"I'd like to believe that time's up for silence," KENNEDY replied. "We can start there."

When asked if some men need some re-learning on the way to treat women, there was a resounding affirmative response from the seven women.
