Shonda Rhimes says she’s “exhausted” by the worsening Time’s Up crisis in a new report published by the New York Times Saturday about conflicts of interest within the organization founded at the height of the #MeToo movement to support workers who had experienced sexual harassment on the job.
“The fact that Time’s Up has become viewed as a receptacle for and the focus of men trying to cover up their obscene behaviors is exhausting to me,” Rhimes, a co-founder of the organization, said in a statement to the Times. “Saving men, especially predatory men, is not on Time’s Up agenda.”
According to the Times, some board members “are privately questioning” whether the organization will survive following the reveal that several top Time’s Up leaders had advised New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo as he faced multiple sexual harassment accusations that led to to his abrupt resignation earlier this month.

Updated, with The View video: Former Fox News and NBC News host Megyn Kelly unloaded on the decisions to pull Gone with the Wind and Cops in light of protests after the death of George Floyd, with a series of tweets and “unfollow me” replies to her critics.
HBO Max said Tuesday it removed 1939 Best Picture Oscar winner Gone with the Wind from the recently launched streamer, saying it would restore the classic film to the service with “a discussion of its historical context.” The Paramount Network, meanwhile, has canceled the long-running docuseries Cops, while A+E Networks is evaluating the future of its A&e megahit Live Pd.
Kelly warmed up by retweeting an article from the conservative Daily Caller about the HBO Max decision. Then she asked, “Are we going to pull all of the movies in which women are treated as sex objects too? Guess how many films we’ll have left?...

Stephen Colbert released an extended interview with former Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, nearly five years after the candidate was a guest on the very first week of Colbert’s Late Show hosting stint.
In that interview, Biden explained how he was not prepared to run for president in 2016 due to the recent death of his son, Beau Biden, from brain cancer. And on Thursday night, toward the end of the 50-minute conversation, the topic once more turned to grief, this time in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bill Maher’s final “New Rule” on Friday’s Real Time With Bill Maher was, as usual, a doozie.
“The liberal media and liberal party,” said Maher, “is doing…exactly what Republicans want: for us to go down the rabbit hole of ‘Joe Biden, sex monster.'”
Maher was of course referring to allegations made by Tara Reade, who recently accused Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993. Biden says the incident “never, never happened.”
To some, the story brings back memories of Christine Blasey Forde’s testimony against conservative Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Not so for Maher.
“There is no fact finding here,” said the Real Time host. “It’s a he said/she said.”
Some, like The National Review, disagree.
But an even more important point to Maher is that, amid the coronavirus crisis that has killed 77,000 Americans, “this person [Reade] literally changed the subject from ‘Donald Trump,...

Update: Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993, wishes that he would withdraw from the 2020 presidential race.
“I know he won’t, but that is how I feel emotionally,” she told Megyn Kelly in an on-camera sit-down interview. Kelly asked her what she would want to say to Biden.
“I would say, you and I were there, Joe Biden, please step forward and be held accountable,” she said. “You should not be running on character for the president of the United States.”
In an appearance on Morning Joe last week, Biden said that the incident “never, never happened.”
Reade also said that it was “stunning” how some of Biden’s “surrogates have been saying really horrible things about me and to me on social media. He hasn’t himself but there is a measure of hypocrisy with the campaign saying it is safe. It has not been safe.

Attorney Douglas Wigdor, who now represents Reade, said that former NBC News producer Richard McHugh produced the Kelly interview.
"She will describe to the American public what happened to her," Wigdor said in an email previewing the interview. "Her harrowing account is credible and supported by numerous 'outcry' witnesses from decades ago."

On Friday, Time’s Up Now’s president, Tina Tchen, addressed the sexual assault accusation against Joe Biden and said allegations like Tara Reade’s should not “go ignored.” But Reade has said she felt “betrayed” by Time’s Up’s Legal Defense Fund, run by the National Women’s Law Center, which has said it provided Reade with attorneys to contact but was not able to subsidize PR and legal fees for her over concerns that doing so would hurt its nonprofit status.
“Today, Vice President Joe Biden sat down and directly addressed the allegation against him with the seriousness it deserves, something that the current president has never done,” Tchen said in a statement on Friday. “No longer can claims like this go ignored. Vice President Joe Biden needed to address Tara Reade’s allegation today. We call for complete transparency into this claim and the multiple claims against President Donald Trump.

In 1993, Tara Reade was a 28-year-old junior staffer in the office of U.S. Senator Joe Biden. Reade alleges that Biden pushed her up against a wall, put his hand under her skirt, and penetrated her with his fingers. The assault, she said, occurred in a hallway somewhere in the complex of office buildings near the U.S. Capitol. Afterward, Reade said she filed a complaint with the Senate personnel office and was pushed out of her job in Biden’s office.

Editors’ Note: Actress and activist Alyssa Milano has been a leader of the #MeToo movement, as her 2017 tweet calling on women to share their stories of sexual harassment and assault helped create a national conversation. Milano also endorsed Joe Biden in this year’s presidential election, having interviewed him for her podcast last year shortly after he got into the presidential race.
Tara Reade’s allegation against Biden, in which she claimed that he pinned her against a wall in a Senate building and sexually assaulted her, has been denied by the Biden campaign as something that “absolutely did not happen.” Milano addressed the allegations on Andy Cohen’s radio show earlier this month, telling him that “we have to sort of societally change that mindset to believing women, but that does not mean at the expense of not giving men their due process and investigating situations.
