Claire Foy Almost Violently Hurt An Anti-#MeToo Protestor

Don’t f*ck with the queen. Claire Foy apparently got so mad on a recent trip to D.C. for the premiere of First Man when an anti-#MeToo protestor caused her to nearly attack him. 

“I just want to rip it up,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. The protester was wearing a media badge while he carried a sign that read, “#MeTooFraud.” Upon asking him why he had media accreditation, he called himself an “editorialist.”

She wasn’t happy with that response.

“How dare you write #MeTooFraud on a placard?” she said. “It just breaks my heart, how other human beings just care so little about people. That person must not have any idea of what those women have been through. I have a real problem with people not understanding the effect that they have on other people.”

She added, “That makes me want to violently hurt him, which is obviously bad. I can’t. Because he’s a lot stronger than I am … It would completely undermine my position.”

Claire explained that men probably feel threatened by the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements:

“They feel vulnerable because women are becoming more powerful, so they want to put us in our place to let us know we’re weak and we’re feeble and we’re emotional,” she said. “Why do we need to be controlled? Why are we so dangerous? We are really powerful. We can bring people into the world. We have the capacity to hold children in our bodies. They can’t do that. I admire men and think they are amazing. So why does it have to be a competition?”
