Hollywood Women Launch Time's Up Legal Defense Fund To Protect Women Facing Sexual Harassment

Posted: 01 Jan 2018 02:59 PM PST

So needed, and so necessary -- and so perfect to roll out to begin 2018.

Shonda Rhimes, Reese Witherspoon, and more than 300 other prominent and powerful women in the entertainment industry rolled out a new initiative this morning called Time's Up -- and it's all about protecting women from sexual harassment.

The new plan includes a multi-million dollar legal defense fund made largely by donations from the rich and powerful women of Hollywood, which will in turn be used to defend women across the workforcte and all over the country who are facing backlash from sexual harassment claims at work.

The defense fund itself will be administered by the National Women's Law Center, and it includes a GoFundMe page (HERE) that was seeking to raise an initial $15 million to begin.

By noon on New Year's Day, the fund had raised more than $13.4 million -- much of it coming from high-profile Hollywood women.

In an open letter announcing the Time's Up initiative, the prominent women wrote in part (below):

"To every woman employed in agriculture who has had to fend off unwanted sexual advances from her boss, every housekeeper who has tried to escape an assaultive guest, every janitor trapped nightly in a building with a predatory supervisor, every waitress grabbed by a customer and expected to take it with a smile, every garment and factory worker forced to trade sexual acts for more shifts, every domestic worker or home health aide forcibly touched by a client, every immigrant woman silenced by the threat of her undocumented status being reported in retaliation for speaking up and to women in every industry who are subjected to indignities and offensive behavior that they are expected to tolerate to make a living: We stand with you. We support you."

And prominent celebs who had a large hand in founding the organization wasted no time to start promoting it on Twitter (below):

We wrote and issued this letter of solidarity to stand with women across every industry in saying: #TIMESUP. Time's up on silence. Time's up on waiting. Time's up on tolerating discrimination, harassment and abuse. The @TIMESUPNOW Legal Defense Fund provides subsidized legal support across industries to those who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace. Join me!

So many years in the making -- and well worth it for Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro!!!

The TV host wed her longtime boyfriend in a surprise ceremony live during Fox's New Year's Eve broadcast last night, tying the knot on TV despite record cold temperatures in Times Square -- and everyone couldn't have been happier!

The longtime TV host and her beau, who had been engaged since March of 2016, decided to up and tie the knot with Steve Harvey officiating the ceremonies just 48 hours after he was officially ordained to perform the wedding!

Considering all that Maria has been through recently, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time!

It looked like a great surprise for Constantine and Lisa Menounos, Maria's parents, who were both in Times Square along with Maria for the ceremony itself, too!

Ch-ch-check some of it out (below):

Finally some good news for mom! We are getting married tonight in Times Square! I will be the coldest bride ever but the happiest! Seeing my parents happy means everything! #nye #foxnewyearseveA post shared by ❤️MARIA MENOUNOS (@mariamenounos) on Dec 31, 2017 at 7:18pm PST
