Celebrity #MeToo activist Alyssa Milano has a new op-ed out in Deadline Hollywood explaining her support for Joe Biden despite the Tara Reade allegation along with some advice on how he should move forward:

The TL;DR version is that “the world is gray” and we need more “nuance”:
Now that Biden has been accused “the world is gray” and we need more “nuance.” Hmm. https://t.co/gw96rhjg11

Joe Biden, however, is the only one that appears to fall into this “gray” category of hers:
Alyssa Milano attempts to separate the MeToo world into the black and white (ie those whose actions were clearly wrong) and the gray. Here's her list:
Black
Harvey Weinstein
Donald Trump
Brett Kavanaugh
Matt Lauer
Bill CosbyGray
Joe Bidenhttps://t.co/uL7IqQkG1g— Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) April 30, 2020
Also not on the list? Al Franken. Weird, right?

But she does want you to know that the allegations against Biden concern her “deeply” and that he should “face the allegation head-on, answer every question, and admit any wrondonging, and be the example for men who face these kinds of accusations whether founded or not”:

And she’s really, really tired of women having to take the lead on this:

The hypocrisy, IT BURNS:
When a Democrat gets accused of rape, the Republicans place too much pressure on women to act like they meant the things they said 18 months ago. https://t.co/DMmNXkly1z

Man, this won’t end well for her:

The word you’re looking for is coward:
What's interesting about this is that @Alyssa_Milano had professed a set of principles and claimed moral high-ground during the #MeToo movement, but had nothing to lose. Now that her principles put her in a position to sacrifice, she's choosing to abandon principles for gain. https://t.co/fE1Up9NMHI
