Celebrities that have worked with director Woody Allen like Timothée Chalamet, Greta Gerwig, Rebecca Hall and more have continued to distance themselves from him; some of them even donating their salaries they earned to the Time’s Up movement.
Then there’s celebrities like Selena Gomez and Justin Timberlake, who — despite publicly supporting Time’s Up and having worked with Allen — haven’t said anything about Dylan Farrow’s sexual assault allegations against Allen.
Now, she’s calling one of them out.
On Tuesday, Timberlake tweeted about how he didn’t understand the saying, “You just want your cake and to eat it too.”
Random question: Can someone please explain the saying, “You just want your cake and to eat it too.”
What else am I about to do with a cake??

This was more than likely just a joke, and not at all intended to spark a conversation about Time’s Up or Allen.
Farrow, however, quickly replied.
“The saying means, for example, you can’t support #TIMESUP and praise sexual predators at the same time,” Farrow said. “You can’t retain your credibility as an activist (i.e. – retain the cake) and, at the same time, praise a sexual predator (i.e. – eating the cake).
