A 56-year-old actress participated in the Take Back the Workplace
March and #MeToo Survivors rally in Hollywood on Sunday, carrying a sign
that read “James Woods #MeToo.”
Yahoo Lifestyle has reached out to
representatives of both Perkins and Woods for comment.
Elizabeth Perkins is the latest actor to suggest that she
has also experienced sexual harassment in Hollywood.
The Weeds star
walked alongside hundreds of other women who have claimed to experience
harassment, including TV reporter Lauren Sivan, who has accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct.
“Not in pots, not in plants, keep your junk inside your pants,” the crowd reportedly chanted, along with, “Harvey Weinstein is a joke, women workers just got woke.”
While
it’s not clear what Perkins is alleging that Woods has done, this isn’t
the first time the 70-year-old actor has been publicly named. Amber
Tamblyn, 34, claimed the actor tried to pick her and another female
friend up when she was 16.
“He wanted to take us to Vegas. ‘I’m 16’ I said. ‘Even better’ he said,'” the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants actress alleged. Woods, an avid Twitter user, tweeted that Tamblyn’s story was a “lie.”
He has yet to weigh in on Perkins’s sign, but instead tweeted his gratitude for reaching 1 million followers.
While Perkins has not elaborated on the meaning of her sign on social
media, she has been posting pictures and videos from yesterday’s event.
