Just five years later, Time\u2019s Up is now officially closing its doors after the group was revealed to be nothing more than another partisan operation that opted to protect Democrats from the very type of sexual assault and workplace inequality allegations they claimed to be fighting against. The celebrities who enthusiastically supported the legal fund are now radio silent. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTime\u2019s Up\u00a0will formally cease its operations by the end of January and direct its remaining $1.7 million in funds to the Time\u2019s Up Legal Defense Fund (TULDF),\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/general-news\/times-up-closed-1235306328\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> Report this week <\/p>\n<p>Time\u2019s Up first revealed its partisan bias during Joe Biden\u2019s presidential campaign when former Senate staffer Tara Reade came forward <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/04\/30\/evaluating-tara-reades-sexual-assault-allegation-against-joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accusing<\/a> A married Sen. Biden accused of pushing her against a wall and kissing her. He also forcibly penetrated her skirt with his fingers in 1993. Although the organization claimed Reade\u2019s allegations should not \u201cgo ignored,\u201d It was later revealed that SKDKnickerbocker was run by Anita Dunn who was a top Biden campaign strategist. <\/p>\n<p>Dunn was also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/stevenperlberg\/former-obama-adviser-anita-dunn-helped-harvey-weinstein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> To have given Weinstein previously \u201cdamage control advice.\u201d The irony \u2014 that Time\u2019s Up was created in response to the Weinstein allegations as an effort to stop and prosecute other predators \u2014 is lost on no one. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually cried a little because I felt really betrayed,\u201d Reade told <a href=\"https:\/\/lawandcrime.com\/high-profile\/joe-biden-accuser-says-times-up-betrayed-her-in-that-hallway-he-was-a-man-assaulting-a-woman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Law &#038; Crime<\/a> At the time. \u201cThey never told me that their public relations was run by Anita Dunn. I found out in real-time reading Ryan [Grim]\u2019s article.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my perspective: the payments look like a way to silence me further from getting my story heard,\u201d Reade said of the conflicting interests between SKDKnickerbocker and Biden\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t that they were staying out of politics. Time\u2019s Up was of course proud to take bold stands against politicians such as Donald Trump and figures like Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, over whom it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/general-news\/times-up-calls-national-walkout-support-brett-kavanaugh-accuser-1146325\/#!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">organized a \u201cnational walk-out\u201d<\/a> Based on the most tenuous of allegations <\/p>\n<p>But Time\u2019s Up\u2019s silence on Biden and other Democrats such as Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax would be small potatoes compared to revelations found in New York Attorney General Letitia James\u2019 2021 report that Time\u2019s Up chief,\u00a0Tina Tchen, and TULDF co-founder Roberta Kaplan were asked by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s office for guidance on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations brought by a former Cuomo aide, Lindsey Boylan.<\/p>\n<p>Kaplan resigned from the Time\u2019s Up board after the AG\u2019s investigation found that Kaplan<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/general-news\/andrew-cuomo-accusations-times-up-failing-survivors-1234994707\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> gave input <\/a>on a letter Cuomo\u2019s office drafted to rebut Boylan\u2019s allegations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Cuomo aide Melissa] DeRosa reported back to the Governor that Ms. Kaplan and the head of Time\u2019s Up thought the letter was okay with some changes, as did<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time&#8217;s Up is closing its doors after the group was revealed to be nothing more than another partisan operation that opted to protect Democrats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":590,"featured_media":1823765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[4770,4038,8455,5791,4912,4685,5893,16444,5579,16443,4126],"class_list":["post-1823762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-abusers","tag-alleged","tag-beloved","tag-closes","tag-democrat","tag-gender","tag-hollywoods","tag-nonprofit","tag-rights","tag-siding","tag-times"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1823762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/590"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1823762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1823762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1823765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1823762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1823762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1823762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
