Days after the Time’s Up movement took over the Golden Globes, Taylor Swift quietly made a hefty donation to the its legal defense fund.
Taylor Swift is the victim of sexual assault, and now she’s helping others who are also victims.
Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted back in 2013 when a radio DJ reached his hand under her skirt and groped her butt. The man was fired for his actions, and later sued Taylor for ruining his career. The two faced off in court in August 2017, and a jury ruled in favor of the singer. She only got $1 in damages because she didn’t care about money -- she cared about justice.
She said at the time QUOTE “I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this. My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard. Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves."
Taylor meant what she said in that statement, because she recently donated $100,000 to Time’s Up’s Legal Defense Fund, which was created to QUOTE “provide subsidized legal support to women and men who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace and while in pursuit of their careers. “
TIME’S UP is a movement that was started just several weeks ago as a way to stand in solidarity with those who have been sexually mistreated in the past and prevent sexual abuse from happening in the future. It also pushes for women to have equal opportunities, pay, etc., as men. Many female celebrities wore black to the Golden Globe Awards and men wore Time’s Up pins to show their support.
Taylor joined the likes of many other big-name celebrities to give a large amount of money to the fund. Just to name a few… Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston all gave $500,000. Oprah Winfrey donated $100,000. And Emma Stone, Natalie Portman, Jessica Chastain and more gave $50,000.
OUTRO VO: Taylor often gets criticized for staying quiet on important world issues such as sexual assault, but just because she doesn’t make a show out of her charitable efforts doesn’t mean she doesn’t care.
