In an open letter, Amber Tamblyn destroys James Woods for hitting her at the age of 16
In an open letter to James Woods published on Teen Vogue, the actor and director Amber Tamblyn accused his colleague interpreting to have tried to seduce her when she was 16 years old. The letter comes after a short twitter war between Woods, Tamblyn and actor Armie Hammer
The conflagration began on September 10, when Woods, whose conservatism is well publicized, criticized Hammer’s next film, “Call Me By Your Name”. In the film, Hammer plays a 24 -year -old man who enters a romantic relationship with a 17 -year -old young man. Woods tweeted, “while they quietly distance the last barriers from decency”, the hashtag “Nambla” in reference to the North American Man / Boy Love Association, the controversial organization of pedophile and pedophile plea. We do not know if Woods would have a problem with the film if he presented a heterosexual couple of a significant age difference.

Hammer replied the next day, tweeting: “Haven’t you left 19 years at the age of 60?”
Didn’t you get out of 19 years when you were 60 years old …….?

Hammer is around 95% here: Woods started to go out with Ashley Madison, 19, in 2007 59, Not 60 (big difference, we know). The couple separated in 2013, and then concluded with Kristen Bauguss, 20. He was 66 years old.
Tamblyn sounded to say that Woods had tried to look for her in a parking lot for a restaurant at the age of 16, even by publishing a screenshot of a text with a friend who was with her that night, corroborating the story.

Woods immediately connected this to a liberal attack against his conservatism while accusing Tamblyn of lying. Swell.
All this inspired Tamblyn to write a powerful letter addressed to Woods, which was published by Teen Vogue. In this document, Tamblyn addresses the defensive of woods with serious and unit, calling it a “moment of learning”, before entering into the personal details of the night in question. “Since you have now called a liar, I will now call you a silencer. I see your gas light and I will now raise a burned land, ”she says.
Tamblyn’s detailed account of the meeting includes honest admission that Woods probably did not know who she was. She was only another girl, this is how Tamblyn connects her personal history to the story of sexual aggressiveness towards minor women. She then underlines that survivors are often invited to prove an event that has only been observed by the aggressor and the victim.
“The saddest part of this story,” she writes, “does not even concern me but concerns the history of universal women. The harmful account of the nation of the unbelieving of women first, above all. Asking them to corroborate first or first to give proof or first of all to make sure that we are not informed or must not first consider the last. “
Tamblyn ends by asking Woods to look at herself well. “It is therefore with hope, Mr. Woods, that I ask you to go inward now and ask you for difficult things. The disturbing unconscious things … Archetypal masculinity stuff … Identity is the most expensive.” Despite this, Tamblyn has no hope for her rehabilitation. “Are you and your story with women and girls who are part of the problem, Mr. Woods?” She asks. “Go now and look in the mirror and ask yourself if it’s true.” Go ahead, I’ll wait. But I will not remember my breath. “
Woods has not yet answered.
