FACT CHECK: Is Alyssa Milano Selling Her Red State Properties?
There is no evidence that shows Milano plans on selling properties in red states.
Amid Israel-Hamas war, celebrities urge Biden to call for a ceasefire
Amid the Israel-Hamas war, the website artists4ceasefire.org features a message pressing President Joe Biden to advocate for a ceasefire. The list of names below the message includes America Ferrera, Alyssa Milano, Andrew Garfield, Channing Tatum, Dua Lipa, Macklemore, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Moore, Quinta Brunson, Wanda Sykes, Jon Stewart, and various other people.
"We come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings witnessing the devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors in Israel and Palestine," the message states. "We ask that, as President of the United States, you call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost."
"We urge your administration, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay – an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages. Half of Gaza’s two million residents are children, and more than two thirds are refugees and their descendants being forced to flee their homes. Humanitarian aid must be allowed to reach them," the message declares.

Some leftist lawmakers have been advocating for Biden to push for a ceasefire.
After Hamas terrorists perpetrated heinous atrocities earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the Jewish state would "obliterate Hamas."
Israel has been carrying out airstrikes, and terrorists have been targeting Israel with rocket attacks.
"In the last 24 hours, a fifth of the rockets that terrorist organizations have launched, have fallen inside Gaza," the English text on an Israel Defense Forces video reads as a man speaks in Hebrew. "A fifth of the rockets — more than 550 rockets — were misfired by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which kill innocent civillians in Gaza. They are killing their own civillians from failed launches." The IDF made the post on X on October 21.

Joe Rogan slams COVID vaccine advocate who called him a 'neofascist,' challenges him to big money debate with RFK Jr., then Elon Musk jumps into the fray
Joe Rogan blasted a COVID vaccine advocate over accusing him of spreading health misinformation and calling him a "neofascist." Rogan challenged the vaccine researcher to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and backed it up with a huge payday for charity.
Peter Hotez is a self-described "internationally-recognized physician-scientist in neglected tropical diseases and vaccine development." Hotez expanded his public profile during the COVID-19 pandemic by making countless appearances on cable news, where he rigorously advocated the COVID vaccine for all ages.
On Saturday morning, Hotez shared an article on Twitter from Vice titled: "Spotify Has Stopped Even Sort of Trying to Stem Joe Rogan’s Vaccine Misinformation."
Hotez wrote, "And from all the online attacks I’m receiving after this absurd podcast, it’s clear many actually believe this nonsense."
The Vice article attacked Rogan's recent interview on Spotify with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – a skeptic of the mRNA vaccines and Democratic presidential candidate challenging Joe Biden.
The Vice writer claimed that the interview was "an orgy of unchecked vaccine misinformation, some conspiracy-mongering about 5G technology and Wi-Fi, and, of course, Rogan once again praising ivermectin, an ineffective faux COVID treatment."
The writer asserted that "The Joe Rogan Experience" episode promoted "Kennedy’s most dangerously incorrect views, a far too extensive list to outline in full, all of which Rogan accepted uncritically, his mouth quite often literally agape in awe."
Rogan fired back at Hotez on Saturday night with a challenge, "Peter, if you claim what RFK Jr. is saying is 'misinformation' I am offering you $100,000.00 to the charity of your choice if you’re willing to debate him on my show with no time limit."
Hotez responded to Rogan, but then quickly deleted the tweet, "Be serious Joe, that's what you throw out for your hunting buddies on a weekend. $50 million endowment (which You/Spotify/RFK Jr. can easily afford), not for me but so we can continue making low-cost patent-free vaccines for the world's poor. Preceded by RFK Jr.'s public apology."
Hotez replied to Rogan, "Joe, you have my cell, my email, I'm always willing to speak with you."
Rogan slammed Hotez, "This is a non-answer. I challenged you publicly because you publicly quote tweeted and agreed with that dogs**t Vice article. If you're really serious about what you stand for, you now have a massive opportunity for a debate that will reach the largest audience a discussion."
The prolific podcaster added, "To those misunderstanding what he’s saying, he’s NOT agreeing to debate @RobertKennedyJr. He’s just offering to come on my show by himself."
Rogan shared a reported screenshot of a May 2023 tweet from Hotez claiming that he was "concerned" about a "pretty formidable coalition with neofascist leanings" that included Rogan, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson.
Hotez later deleted the tweet because he said, "I decided to take down my tweet on the Tucker-Elon alliance. Some very smart people I respect thought my concerns were premature or shouldn’t be labeled at this point. Another, too over-the-top. I agreed, guess we’ll see what unfolds."
Rogan asked Hotez, "Are you sure I’m not a part of a coalition with neofascist leanings? Seems like that’s what you really think, or what you’re projecting to the masses."
\u201cAre you sure I\u2019m not a part of a coalition with neofascist leanings? Seems like that\u2019s what you really think, or what you\u2019re projecting to the masses.\u201d— Joe Rogan (@Joe Rogan) 1687047561
RFK Jr. accepted the challenge, "Peter. Let’s finally have the respectful, congenial, informative debate that the American people deserve."
Elon Musk jumped into the fray by replying, "Maybe @PeterHotez just hates charity."
Musk asked Hotez if he "endorses" Vice, then shared a 2007 Vice article documenting Columbian women who have sex with donkeys.
Musk told Rogan on Twitter, "He’s afraid of a public debate, because he knows he’s wrong."
Hotez lashed out at Musk, "Seriously Elon? This is monstrous. 200,000 Americans needlessly perished (including 40,000 Texans, our neighbors) because they were victims of antivaccine disinformation during our awful Covid delta/BA.1 waves in 2021-22. Please don’t do this."
Musk retorted:
"First of all, I am generally pro vaccine. I have been vaccinated against pretty much everything, as have my kids. Second, I think there is tremendous promise in synthetic mRNA. It is like medicine going from analog to digital. That said, the world obviously went crazy with excess vaccination against 'Covid-19.' I have that in quotes, because the RNA sequences changed so much that I called it the virus of Theseus. So many people I know had serious side effects from the vaccines, including myself. Failure to acknowledge that is a lie. As for the deaths you claim are due to COVID-19, why is the nation of Sweden still alive!? Just go on Rogan and do the debate."
Hotez then wrote on Twitter, "Let’s remember what this is about, not a small number of Americans lost their lives from antivaccine disinformation during the pandemic. 200,000 Americans perished, 40,000 from my State of Texas I have nothing personal vs Joe, Elon, RFK Jr. Just hoping to halt more destruction."
Hotez added, "Not easy to respond when those 3 gang up and tag team. Wish I could be more eloquent and clever when the moment demands, but there you are."
Hotez later retweeted the Twitter account for the "Sorry Not Sorry" podcast by liberal activist Alyssa Milano, which read: "For the record, @PeterHotez has been on our podcast multiple times. He doesn’t need to debate a science-denier on the podcast of someone who has given platforms to science deniers. He’s already won the debate with the truth."
Rogan has had Hotez as a guest on "The Joe Rogan Experience" in 2019 and 2020.
Rogan previously invited Hotez to debate RFK Jr., but deflected by comparing him to a "Holocaust denier."
\u201cListen to Hotez explain to @joerogan why he doesn\u2019t want to debate @RobertKennedyJr on vaccines\n\n\u201cHe\u2019s an attorney, he is very clever!\u2026 what am I? Im just a scientist\u2026\u201d\n\ndo you think this reason is legit?\n@elonmusk\u201d— aussie17 (@aussie17) 1687053204
During a previous interview, Rogan challenged Hotez about how he enhances his immunity without vaccines. Hotez admitted that he is a "junk foodaholic," which Rogan pointed out that there is a "large body of data that connects poor diet to a host of diseases."
Rogan questioned why Hotez doesn't regularly take vitamins, and the scientist said he "didn't think they're needed."
Hotez quickly changed the subject, "But you still need your vaccines."
Rogan rebutted, "But vaccines aren't going to prevent cancer."
\u201c.@JoeRogan grills Dr. Peter Hotez for exclusively promoting vaccines while disregarding exercise, vitamins, and a healthy diet:\n\n"There's a large body of data that connects poor diet to a host of diseases... You don't think vitamins are needed while you eat junk food?"\u201d— KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) 1687058359
Earlier this week, independent journalist Matt Taibbi questioned the consistency of COVID vaccine messaging from Hotez during the coronavirus pandemic.
\u201cIn his latest video, @0rf shows a before-and-after history of statements by celebrated health expert Dr. Peter Hotez:\n\nBEFORE: \u201cIf you wait, it\u2019s going to be too late to protect your child... I\u2019m strongly recommending for adolescents to get their two doses of vaccine... Two doses\u2026\u201d— Matt Taibbi (@Matt Taibbi) 1686589910

'Elon took my blue check away!' Reactions pour in as Twitter yanks legacy verification badges
Media figures, celebrities, and others lost their legacy Twitter verification badges on Thursday.
The social media platform previously provided the badges for free to people like journalists and celebrities, but now with Elon Musk at the helm, the company provides verification badges to people who pay to subscribe to Twitter Blue. Organizations can pay for verification as well. Government figures and entities now get gray verification badges.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York sounded the alarm, claiming that the new checkmark system lays the groundwork for "major potential harm" to result due to confusion about which accounts are real and which are fake.
"Jokes aside, this is setting the stage for major potential harm when a natural disaster hits and no one knows what agencies, reporters, or outlets are real. Not long ago we had major flash floods. We had to mobilize trusted info fast to save lives. Today just made that harder," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
The congresswoman was retweeting someone who shared a screenshot of a fake New York account claiming to be the city's official account.
"This is an authentic Twitter account representing the New York City Government This is the only account for @NYCGov run by New York City government," the real account tweeted on Thursday.
"No, you're not. THIS account is the only authentic Twitter account representing and run by the New York City Government," a fake account replied.
The fake account has been suspended and a gray verification badge currently appears on the city's official account.
\u201cJokes aside, this is setting the stage for major potential harm when a natural disaster hits and no one knows what agencies, reporters, or outlets are real.\n\nNot long ago we had major flash floods. We had to mobilize trusted info fast to save lives. Today just made that harder\u201d— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) 1682027688
Outspoken left-wing celebrity Bette Midler referred to Musk as a "worm," tweeting, "Elon took my blue check away! I'm unverified! After all these years and thousands of tweets and free content, this worm has the nerve to de-certify me!"
"So by revoking my blue check mark because I wouldn’t pay some arbitrary fee, someone can just be me and say a bunch of bull****. Does that mean Twitter and @elonmusk are liable for defamation or identity theft or fraud?" Alyssa Milano asked.
Even Elmo, a character from the children's program Seasame Street, lamented the loss of the verification badge.
"Elmo will miss you, little blue check mark. But don’t worry everybody, Elmo is still Elmo!" the character's account tweeted.
\u201cElmo will miss you, little blue check mark. But don\u2019t worry everybody, Elmo is still Elmo! \u2764\ufe0f\u201d— Elmo (@Elmo) 1682030939
Elon Musk indicated that he is personally paying for Twitter Blue subscriptions for NBA player LeBron James, actor William Shatner, and author Stephen King.

Alyssa Milano says she needs therapy over Twitter — even 'The View' hosts find her RIDICULOUS
On “The Rubin Report” Wednesday, BlazeTV host Dave Rubin shared a clip of Alyssa Milano telling the hosts on “The View” why she has "spent many, many days with [her] therapist" talking about Twitter.
"Never ever read the comments [on Twitter]," co-host Sunny Hostin advises at the beginning of the clip.
"I always read the comments. Who doesn't read the comments?" Milano countered.
"Do you turn the comments off?" she asked co-host Joy Behar.
"No," Behar answered. "I just don't read them. I'm not interested unless it's somebody that I respect."
"I left [Twitter]," co-host Whoopi Goldberg chimed in.
"Listen, I've spent many, many days with my therapist talking about Twitter and social media," Milano said.
"Because of what some anonymous person said to you?" Hostin asked.
"Yeah, it's hurtful," Milano answered.
"Somebody who doesn't know you, hasn't met you, doesn't know your family, doesn't know you, doesn't know anything about you?" Goldberg asked.
"Yeah," Milano repeated, seemingly missing the point.
"Yes, there are mean anonymous people out there," Dave said in response to the clip. "It's just the nature of all of this, and before social media, people used to ... write mean things about people in the bathroom stall ... people do mean things."
Dave likened Twitter and other social media platforms to an "old school" town square where people would congregate and share ideas.
"Let's go back 100 years, right, little towns all over America," he said. "Then in the town square, that's where people would congregate. That's where everybody would go for commerce, to get food, etc. And then they'd start talking and exchanging ideas. And there might have even been a guy on a soapbox and he'd be complaining about this or that, but you did not have to talk to everybody. You did not have to turn to everybody who commented on something, and if there was a crazy person over there, you might just walk the other way."

Alyssa Milano virtue-signals about scrapping her Tesla because of 'white supremacy,' but flood of comments point out how her new electric car is problematic
Actress-turned-activist Alyssa Milano backed herself into a corner after she bragged about ditching her Tesla electric vehicle. Milano hinted that she got rid of her Tesla because Elon Musk is the CEO of the electric vehicle brand, suggesting that nobody should do business that aligns with "white supremacy." However, reactions on Twitter pointed out how her new electric car is problematic.
Milano posted a virtue-signaling tweet on Saturday morning about scrapping her Tesla in favor of a Volkswagen (VW) electric vehicle (EV).
"I gave back my Tesla. I bought the VW ev. I love it," Milano wrote on Twitter
The Hollywood actress added, "I'm not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model."
\u201cI gave back my Tesla.\n\nI bought the VW ev.\n\nI love it.\n\nI\u2019m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company\u2019s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn\u2019t seem to be a winning business model.\u201d— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa Milano) 1669470736
Despite demanding that companies stop advertising on Twitter because of the social media platform's "alignment with hate and white supremacy," Milano has not said that she will stop using Twitter. She previously said that Musk's acquisition of Twitter would not force her to leave the social media network.
In April, Milano declared, "I’m not leaving Twitter. I’ve never considered leaving Twitter. It doesn’t matter who owns the company — my platform is — my platform. I’ll be right here continuing to use my voice and sharing truth."
Milano has been a fervent user of Twitter since 2009, racking up more than 3.5 million followers.
Numerous Twitter users noted a flaw in Milano's rationale to switch from a Tesla to a Volkswagen to fight "white supremacy." Several commentators pointed out that Volkswagen was created by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party.
The Libertarian Party of Tennessee: "Volkswagen… who were they founded by?"
Radio host Jennifer Barreto-Leyva: "Someone clearly doesn't know the story of Volkswagen. Poor thing."
The Hodge Twins: "Volkswagen was literally founded by the Nazi’s and Hitler."
Writer Mark Hemingway: "Nothing says 'I'm concerned about white supremacy' like buying a car from a company founded by the Nazi government."
Music composer Deborah Lurie: "Buying a VW in righteous defiance of white supremacy? I can't tell who's doing dark parody at this point."
Podcast host Zeek Arkham: "So… you already bought the Tesla, which made Elon money, and then 'gave' it back, which costs Elon nothing. Yeah, you sure showed him. I hope he learned his lesson on that one."
History.com noted, "On May 28, 1937, the government of Germany—then under the control of Adolf Hitler of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party—forms a new state-owned automobile company, then known as Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH. Later that year, it was renamed simply Volkswagenwerk, or 'The People’s Car Company.'"
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum added, "On May 26, 1938, Nazi dignitaries gathered near Fallersleben in northern Germany to lay the foundation stone for the Volkswagen Works. The Führer himself was present, predicting that this Volkswagen, initially known as the Kraft-durch-Freude-Wagen, or KdF-Wagen, would be 'a symbol of the National Socialist people's community.'"
The Nation reported, "According to historical records, as early as June 1940 Volkswagen had already begun using forced labor. German historian Ulrich Herbert has documented in his 1997 book 'Hitler’s Foreign Workers' that, at times, as much as 70 percent of the company’s workforce was conscripted, primarily from Eastern Europe. Basically, these workers were slaves, given just a pittance to live on. But Volkswagen subscribed fully to the Nazi racialist theories that categorized non-Aryans as subhuman — and, like the Nazis themselves, it had a pecking order, which factory director Hans Mayr later outlined for Allied war-crimes investigators."
Alyssa Milano says fathers telling sons to 'take care of your mother' is misogynistic, gets thoroughly trounced: 'Her woke opinion only hurts women'
Alyssa Milano – who has no shortage of questionable tweets that have been widely panned – uncorked yet another post on Twitter that was thoroughly trounced by many. The "Who's the Boss?" actress ticked off a generous number of Twitter users this weekend by claiming that fathers telling their sons to "take care of your mother" is misogynistic.
On Thursday night, Milano tweeted: "Can we stop saying to our sons things like: 'take care of your mother while I’m gone.' This is insinuating that women can’t take care of ourselves. And it's bulls**t."
Can we stop saying to our sons things like: \u201ctake care of your mother while I\u2019m gone.\u201d\n\nThis is insinuating that women can\u2019t take care of ourselves. And it\u2019s bullshit.— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa Milano) 1649994014
Twitter reactions to Milano's tweet flew in fast and furious. Many commentators only saw positives in dads telling their sons to care for their mom and not to let anything bad happen to the matriarch. While at the same time, others believed that the actress was fishing for attention.
Actor Adam Baldwin said: "The only thing it might 'insinuate' to women who can actually take care of themselves is a fatherly sense of familial love & duty encouraged to sons staying behind on the homefront while dad’s away. Regular healthy women aren’t offended by this."
Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing replied: "We basically have. Look what it’s gotten us."
Columnist Kurt Schlichter simply said: "No. We can't."
Reporter Alana Mastrangelo tweeted: "No. Boys need to become men."
Actor Nick Searcy questioned: "Imagine being married to someone who hates men this much."
Author Chad Felix Greene snarked: "Run out of things to be outraged over, huh."
YouTuber Adam Grandmaison just wrote: "Mental illness."
Actor Matthew Marsden exclaimed: "I always say this to my sons. So no. F*** off. I’m raising men."
Tablet Magazine's Noam Blum fired back: "Or maybe the point is to make the kid feel important and responsible and not everything is about you."
YouTuber Justin Whang joked: "Father on his deathbed: Take care of your mother while I’m gone. Alyssa Milano: This is insinuating that women can’t take care of ourselves. And it’s bullsh**t. Father: *dies*"
A commenter added: "What a miserable mind. I will always tell my son to take care of his mother while I'm gone. Sometimes it's the little things that reveal the cultural divide."
A Twitter user said: "Alyssa Milano is so self-centered she doesn’t realize it’s at least in part for the benefit of teaching boys to look out for and protect others, especially the women in their lives. Ironic that she was one of the people who spoke during the me too movement."
Another person stated: "God forbid that people ask families to...act like families."
Someone pointed out: "Weird Alyssa Milano showing us once again why most of us are better at this parenting thing. Why in the world would you insinuate it’s a negative thing to teach our sons respect and the importance of always taking care of their mother? This is one unhinged lady."
A female commenter responded: "What @Alyssa_Milano doesn’t realize is that her statement further deprives boys of opportunities to learn compassion and respect for women. Her 'woke' opinion only hurts women and ensures boys remain boys, like all wokeism."
Another Twitter user advised: "Boys....take care of your mothers if your dad is gone. And never, ever listen to Alyssa Milano."
A woman said: "Imagine finding fault with a man telling his son to look after his mother. Every woman should be so lucky."
Because of the backlash, Milano made it so only her followers could directly respond to her tweet. However, even her own followers called her out on her parenting premise.
Reuters reporter Rollo Ross wrote: "I understand this take if it's from a man but everybody who said this to me growing up was female and in that respect, I don't feel it was a bad thing. It showed me just how much my mother was doing for me and that I could and should help her out rather than being complacent."
Columnist Leslie Streeter retorted: "As a widow who lost my husband when my son was not yet 2, I don’t feel the same way you do about it. It’s not 'Protect her from a bear' on an episode of ‘Little House.' I feel my husband would just want my son to love me and comfort me."
Alyssa Milano was a trending topic on Twitter during the weekend, and the "Fear" actress addressed the controversy by once again making it about misogyny.
"Apparently, I trended on Twitter today for tweeting that saying things to our sons like: 'take care of your mother,' implies to the son that women are incapable of taking care of themselves. The fact that this recognition of innate misogyny trended is part of the problem."

Alyssa Milano: Giving birth to my first child reminded me 'of being sexually assaulted'
Left-wing activist and actress Alyssa Milano said giving birth to her first child reminded her "of being sexually assaulted," People magazine reported.
What are the details?
Milano — who two years ago said "my life would be completely lacking all its great joys" had she not gone through with two abortions in 1993 — appeared this week on the magazine's new podcast "Me Becoming Mom" and reflected on her experience giving birth to her son Milo Thomas, now 10.
"I remembered at one point [during childbirth] really not enjoying the fact that lots of people had access to my vagina and thinking to myself, 'Why does — I don't like this. Why does it feel so familiar? I've never had a baby before. Why does this invasive feeling feel so familiar?'" Milano recalled, People reported. "That was just a fleeting moment, a tick in time, but I didn't forget about it."
Milano added to the podcast that going through therapy for her postpartum anxiety and depression helped her connect the dots.
'Very reminiscent of being sexually assaulted'
"After going through therapy after giving birth to Milo and remembering that one moment of feeling like I was being held down and had things being done to me that I didn't want, to me, was very reminiscent of being sexually assaulted," she said, according to People. "It triggered all of these memories that I thought I had dealt with. I think anyone who has dealt with trauma has the moments where you're like, 'Yeah, I'm fine. I've dealt with that.' Versus the moments where you go, 'Oh, no I didn't. I just tried to tuck it away so no one could see them or I couldn't see them or feel them anymore.'"
Milano — who also has a 7-year-old daughter, Elizabella Dylan, with husband David Bugliari — also said part of her childbirth emotion was feeling "like I wasn't in control," the magazine said.
More from People:
Back in 2018, Milano was one of several celebrities who spoke out about surviving sexual assault using the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport on social media to protest then-President Donald Trump. She wrote on Twitter, "I was sexually assaulted twice. Once when I was a teenager. I never filed a police report and it took me 30 years to tell my parents."
Weeks later, the actress recounted her experience with sexual assault during an emotional speech at Sen. Susan Collins' office. Milano recalled that while at a concert as a 19-year-old, there was a stampede with people "smashed against each other" to the point she "couldn't breathe; I thought I was gonna die."
"From behind me, I felt a hand up my skirt, and I was punched repeatedly in the vagina," she explained at the time, according to the magazine. "I couldn't turn around. I looked to the stage, and I looked to the security guards, and I said, 'Please help me,' and they couldn't help me. They shook their heads. I managed to break free, and I climbed up the stage to get away from my predator. I turned around, and I didn't know which one it was. I looked to the sea of people, and I couldn't find him."
Anything else?
Milano has been actively promoting left-wing causes for a number of years — arguably eclipsing her acting notoriety — and her outspokenness against sexual assault and harassment has been a big focus.
But it hasn't always gone well.
In 2019, Milano defended then-presidential candidate Joe Biden against allegations from two women of inappropriate and unwanted touching and emphasized his claim that his actions carried no bad intentions.
"Just as we must believe all women that decide to come forward, we cannot assume all women's experiences are the same," the #MeToo activist said.
Yet when Christine Blasey Ford claimed without corroborating evidence that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers, Milano had no problem believing Ford and said Kavanaugh's confirmation to the high court served to "institutionalize sexual violence."
Then Tara Reade — a former Biden staffer who in 2019 accused him of sexually assaulting her — ripped Milano for hypocritically supporting Biden despite Reade's credible allegations.
Milano said in an interview around that time that she "never thought [#MeToo] would be something that was going to destroy innocent men" and that "we have to find this balance in the 'Believe Women' movement, and also giving men their due process."
But after Reade called her out and media backlash hit, Milano changed her tune, tweeting that she was "aware of the new developments in Tara Reade's accusation against Joe Biden. I want Tara, like every other survivor, to have the space to be heard and seen without being used as fodder. I hear and see you, Tara."
