Hollywood star Debra Messing is in hot water this week after she shared an anti-Tara Reade blog post despite her previous calls to “believe all women” who accuse men of sexual assault.
Debra Messing Attacks Biden Accuser Tara Reade
Messing, 51, best known for starring on the sitcom “Will & Grace”, is an avid Trump critic. Most notably for her controversial call to doxx all Trump supporters in Hollywood.

This probably explains her otherwise completely hypocritical attack of Biden accuser Tara Reade this week.
“Biden Accuser, Tara Reade, Allegedly Stole from Non-Profit Organization,” Messing’s tweet read alongside a link to a Medium post by the controversial Krassenstein brothers.
The brothers were branded “two of the biggest stars of #Resistance Twitter,” by The Daily Beast before being banned from Twitter for violating the site’s guidelines.
Fox News reported that the brothers have since been attacking Donald Trump on other platforms, and they are now trying to poke holes in the story of Reade, who is accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault.
Tara Read Fires Back
Reade immediately fired back at Messing.
“This is slander and untrue,” she said simply.
This is slander and untrue.

Journalist Katie Halper, who has covered Reade’s story on her podcast, also spoke out to blast Messing. Halper wrote, ”This has been debunked and you’re quoting people who have been permanently banned from twitter.”

Debra Messing Hit With Backlash
Messing has since deleted the tweet and refused to comment on the backlash, which has kept on pouring in.
Many pointed out that it’s comments like Messing’s that make women reluctant to accuse powerful Democrats of such crimes.
“Gee, I wonder why a woman might be reluctant to come forward with allegations against a powerful male Democratic politician,” journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted “Democrats are good watching liberal sitcom actresses like this dig into her past to try to smear her reputation? This is the standard to use generally?”
“Who would watch what Democrats are doing to Tara Reade and even think about coming forward with similar allegations ever again?” he later added. “The message being sent could not be clearer. It’s like watching a bloodthirsty mob. Way closer to #DemeanWomen than #BelieveWomen.”

Others have been calling Messing out for her hypocrisy as well:

At this point Debra Messing is vying for Alyssa Milano’s position of useful idiot shaming survivors.

I reported Debra Messings tweet as harmful to someone else. As an advocate for survivors, I see this all the time but for Ms. Messing to use her platform for slandering a survivor, it’s disgusting! @SusanSarandon had her pegged! @johncusack @MMFlint @MeTooMVMT @TaranaBurke

This is disgusting to post. Tara is a human being and deserves to break her silence without being dragged through the mud and lied on.

Disgusting how they are so quick to grab anything to defend their anointed one. It doesn’t have to be credible or accurate, just as long as it speaks to the narrative. Yet ignore the damage they are doing to a victim.#BlueNoMatterWhoRapedYou

Don’t Believe Her
Messing is known for having one of the worst cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome in Hollywood, which is saying a lot given how anti-Trump the entertainment industry is.
Her hate for Trump goes to such extremes that she’s willing to believe anything that paints the the President in a negative light. Even blatant fake news.

When she’s not shaming survivors of sexual assault, Debra Messing enjoys blaming the coronavirus death toll on President Donald Trump and his supporters.

Maybe someone should consider starting a #DontBelieveHer campaign against Messing. At least until the actress decides to start using her celebrity platform more responsibly.
The hypocrisy is strong in this one.
