She won’t be silenced. After actor James Woods denied ever trying to pick up Amber Tamblyn when she was only 16 years old, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants actress is fighting back.
Celebs Fight Back on Twitter! Tambyln, 34, penned an open letter in response to his denial detailing her encounter with Woods, 70, to Teen Vogue on Wednesday, September 13. “Dear Mr. Woods,” she wrote. “What you are experiencing is called a teachable moment. It is called a gift. It is called a humbling. It is called Jesus, I come to thee. It is called an awakening. It is called a growth edge. It is called hope. The hope being that through this experience, you can change. You can redefine the man who will come after this moment and this man who came before. Since you’ve now called me a liar, I will now call you a silencer. I see your gaslight and now will raise you a scorched earth.” She then alleged he tried to convince her to join him on a trip to Vegas, even though she was only a teenager. “My friend Billy and I were at the Roxy on Sunset Boulevard seeing a band we loved,” she continued. “We decided to go to Mel’s diner on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood to get burgers after. I had just gotten my driver’s license and very specifically remember my nervousness trying to park in the diner parking lot. Upon leaving the restaurant we were stopped by you and your friend, who both seemed very nice. At one point you suggested we should all go to Las Vegas together. ‘It’s such a great place, have you ever been?’ You tried to make it sound innocent. This is something predatory men like to do, I’ve noticed. Make it sound innocent. Just a dollop of insinuation. Just a hair of persuasion. Just a pinch of suggestion. ‘It will be so much fun, I promise you. Nothing has to happen, we will just have a good time together.’ I told you my age, kindly and with no judgment or aggression. I told you my age because I thought you would be immediately horrified and take back your offer. You laughed and said, ‘Even better. We’ll have so much fun, I promise.’”
