Angela Lansbury receives backlash for saying 'attractive women' are partly to blame

British actress Angela Lansbury received significant backlash after she made a comment about the issue of sexual harassment saying that "attractive women must sometimes take the blame."

Lansbury said in an interview with Radio Times, “There are two sides to this coin. We have to own up to the fact that women, since time immemorial, have gone out of their way to make themselves attractive. And unfortunately it has backfired on us — and this is where we are today."

“We must sometimes take blame, women. I really do think that. Although it’s awful to say we can’t make ourselves look as attractive as possible without being knocked down and raped.”

Hollywood, broadcast media, and politics have all been plagued by the mounting allegations of sexual assault and those who have criticized the #MeToo movement have also been blackballed. Just this morning, 20-year NBC veteran Matt Lauer was the latest to get the boot.
