Jacqueline Bisset gets schooled after she admits being ‘unsympathetic’ to #MeToo stories: ‘Victim blamer’

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actress Jacqueline Bisset is seemingly not the greatest fan of the #MeToo Movement that shook the world in 2017. 

In fact, the popular actress of the '70s admitted that she is rather “unsympathetic” toward the harassment stories that came out during the movement while opining that women are partially to blame for any harassment, as reported by Page Six. 

During a recent interview with the outlet, the ‘Bullitt’ actress shared her opinion about the movement that began after women started speaking out against workplace abuse and harassment in Hollywood in 2017.

Jacqueline Bisset is ‘unsympathetic’ to #MeToo movement

“I understand as an idea, it’s important that men behave, but I do really think it’s important that women behave, too,” shared 80-year-old Jacqueline Bisset, known for her roles in hit movies like ‘The Deep’ and ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. 

She continued, “I think how you dress, what your subtext is very, very important. It’s very dangerous and not to be played with,” before clarifying that women are, however, free of any blame if “you don’t know anything about men".

Nevertheless, she claimed, she’s “very unsympathetic to these stories, these #MeToo things".

“You have to be very careful what you put out [there],” continued the ‘Airport’ actress. 

Bisset, who came to Hollywood from the UK, further suggested that as an antidote to possible harassment, women “need to learn the word ‘no’ or the F-word or something and you have to do it and you can get through it without any problem".

‘The Detective’ actress further claimed that she has never had to experience any such mistreatment, saying, “I was very determined not to have anything happen to me and I was completely devoted to that idea."

The #MeToo movement went viral in 2017 when several Hollywood women started speaking against producer Harvey Weinstein’s alleged abuse and assaults against female employees and actresses.

Following the initial complaints, several other honchos from various other sectors also experienced a fall from grace when women started speaking out. 

Bisset’s latest interview came a few years after she opened up about her displeasure seeing the viral promotional poster for her 1977 movie ’The Deep’, which featured Bisset in a clinging white wet T-shirt. 

The actress who came to the US from UK in 1967, shared, “I tried to get the thing stopped,” before adding, “I tried to get an injunction on them.”

Internet calls out Jacqueline Bisset for her opinion on #MeToo movement

The internet was not impressed with Jacqueline Bisset's opinion on the #MeToo movement and they schooled the octogenarian.

A social media user said, "Please, exactly why we are losing our rights with women STILL downgrading and blaming other women. There’s more than enough men already doing that. We need to stand united, not divided by old ways of thinking."

Someone else chimed in, "So much for being strong for all women. She just threw them all under the bus."

"How out of touch can one person be....," noted the third. 

Another penned, " So a woman is responsible for a man s***ally assaulting her because of the way she is dressed? I cannot believe how many people are agreeing with this. I thought this kind of thinking went out of style 30 years ago."

One user added with a touch of sarcasm, "Of course! If women only knew how their clothing choices kept men from being able to control themselves, we'd all be safe everywhere, every day."

"What a twit. It’s like telling people to not wear flip flops to avoid foot fetish people. Just another sad victim blamer," castigated someone else.
