Matt Damon Slammed for Sexual Harassment Comments (Again)

Downsizing star Matt Damon keeps getting himself into trouble. Last week, he provoked backlash by saying in an interview that not all cases of sexual harassment are equal in their severity. Now he's facing similar rage for pointing out that he and many men he knows aren't sexual harassers. Several celebrities promptly stepped up to blast Damon on Twitter, making it clear that his thoughts on the subject are not welcome. Maybe it's time for Matt to realize that the best course of action in the current climate is for him to remain silent. Unless it's not.

Matt Damon is getting slammed for the second time this week for speaking out about sexual misconduct in Hollywood — this time he appeared to be saying men who aren’t sexual predators should be recognized for their good behavior.

“We’re in this watershed moment, and it’s great, but I think one thing that’s not being talked about is there are a whole s—load of guys — the preponderance of men I’ve worked with — who don’t do this kind of thing and whose lives aren’t going to be affected,” Damon told Business Insider on Monday, December 18.

“If I have to sign a sexual-harassment thing, I don’t care, I’ll sign it,” he continued. “I would have signed it before. I don’t do that, and most of the people I know don’t do that.”

Damon also told Business Insider that he wouldn’t immediately refuse to work with men who are accused of sexual misconduct.

“That always went into my thinking,” Damon said. “I mean, I wouldn’t want to work with somebody who – life’s too short for that. But the question of if somebody had allegations against them, you know, it would be a case-by-case basis. You go, ‘What’s the story here?’”

Now celebrities, including Debra Messing, Rose McGowan and Cher, are taking to Twitter to react to Damon’s latest comments.

“Matt Damon- SERIOUSLY? You are a smart man. A privileged, white man,” the Will & Grace star wrote on Monday. “This is NOT the time to ask for a pat on the back. How about we NOT celebrate men who are simply decent human beings. Stay on track, Matt. It’s not about you.”

“Matt Damon is the epitome of a faux ally whose performative wokeness is more about servicing his own ego than the needs of the oppressed & disenfranchised,” the singer tweeted.

“Matt Damon is dense AF,”McGowan, who has taken aim at Damon and pal Ben Affleck before amid the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal, wrote.
