Win McNamee—Getty Images by [Casey Quackenbush](https://time.com/author/casey-quackenbush/) ## Casey Quackenbush Jan 9, 2018 9:10 AM UTC Praise is still pouring in for Oprah Winfrey’s[ address](http://time.com/5092249/golden-globes-oprah-speech-transcript/) at the 75th Golden Globes, a rousing declaration that “a new day is on the horizon” for women and girls in light of recent public discourse about sexual misconduct. During the actress’s acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award, Winfrey made a statement so powerful it elicited calls for her to [run for president](http://time.com/5091871/golden-globes-2018-oprah-president/) in 2020\. But not all praise is created equal. Ivanka Trump took to Twitter Monday to join the chorus, urging women and men to unite and say “times up,” referring to a Hollywood-led movement against harassment. > [](https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/950561402053447685) But the first daughter’s tweet drew instant scrutiny; her father, President Donald Trump, himself faces several accusations of sexual misconduct. Actor Alyssa Milano, comedian Rosie O’Donnell and model Chrissy Teigen were among the first and fiercest responders. Many called on her to use her money and influence to help bring about justice for the women who have accused her father of abuse. > [](https://twitter.com/Alyssa%5FMilano/status/950566793453678592) > [](https://twitter.com/JessicaYellin/status/950570066818420737) Others claimed she was attempting to co-opt a social movement at the height of its popularity. > [](https://twitter.com/ramprasad%5Fc/status/950568979734638592) More still found her intervention hypocritical. > [](https://twitter.com/JRubinBlogger/status/950565658374393856) > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/950564681147543552) Michael Wolff, the author of an explosive new book about her father’s White House, called her out in a television interview. > [](https://twitter.com/TheLastWord/status/950573293068804102) But many were simply struck by the same question: > [](https://twitter.com/molly%5Fknight/status/950567670243500033) > [](https://twitter.com/TyroneGayle/status/950564208319647745) > [](https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/950564161913868293) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5094585/ivanka-trump-oprah-winfrey-golden-globes-backlash-twitter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5094585/ivanka-trump-oprah-winfrey-golden-globes-backlash-twitter/"},"headline":"Ivanka Trump's 'Clueless' Tweet Praising Oprah Winfrey's Golden Globes Speech Has Backfired","datePublished":"2018-01-09T09:10:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:38.886Z","description":"Twitter users called her a hypocrite","url":"https://time.com/5094585/ivanka-trump-oprah-winfrey-golden-globes-backlash-twitter/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Social Media","Internet","celebrities","golden globes","Hollywood","Oprah Winfrey","Sexual Violence","entertainment","sexual harassment","Donald Trump","Ivanka Trump","onetime","overnight","MeToo"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt15132ea3ad3d210b/6988f784929fadee85bef25c/gettyimages-892901958.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Casey Quackenbush","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/casey-quackenbush/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt15132ea3ad3d210b/6988f784929fadee85bef25c/gettyimages-892901958.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President Trump Participates In Deregulation Event At The White House","caption":"President Trump Participates In Deregulation Event At The White House","creditText":"Win McNamee—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5094585/ivanka-trump-oprah-winfrey-golden-globes-backlash-twitter/","name":"Ivanka Trump's 'Clueless' Tweet Praising Oprah Winfrey's Golden Globes Speech Has Backfired"}}]}] ```
