It started with conservative actor James Woods criticizing Armie Hammer’s new film, “Call Me By Your Name,” on Twitter, saying it “quietly [chipped] away the last barriers of decency.”
Hammer plays a gay man who connects with a 17-year-old (Timothee Chalamet).
Hammer was quick to respond: “Didn’t you date a 19-year-old when you were 60?”
Woods once dated Ashley Madison, who was then 19.
In no time, actress Amber Tamblyn joined the fray.
“James Woods tried to pick me and my friend up at a restaurant once. He wanted to take us to Vegas. ‘I’m 16,’ I said. ‘Even better,’ he said,” alleged the former “Two and a Half Men” actress.
Woods called it “a lie.”
Tamblyn, now 34, then penned an open letter to Woods via Teen Vogue, detailing her encounter with the ex-“Shark” actor, now 70.
“What you are experiencing is called a teachable moment,” said Tamblyn. “My friend Billy and I were at the Roxy on Sunset Boulevard [to see] a band we loved. We decided to go to Mel’s Diner…to get burgers after. Upon leaving…we were stopped by you and your friend, who both seemed very nice. At one point, you suggested we should all go to Las Vegas together. ‘It’s such a great place, have you ever been?’ You tried to make it sound innocent. This is something predatory men like to do, I’ve noticed,” wrote the ex-“House” actress.—OLIVER PULUMBARIT
