Alyssa Milano, an American actress and #MeToo activist, drew attention on social media after she attended the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday.
Milano attended the hearing as a guest of Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein, wearing a black pinstriped dress, which, as USA Today noted, “some deemed ‘disrespectful’ and ‘revealing.’”
A number of Twitter users concurred with this assessment, blasting the actress for her choice of clothes and her conduct.
So, you want to keep people in the room to a minimum so as to not make #KavanaughHearings a #Circus, but you invite someone who will make it into one? #Idiocracy #Hypocrisy at it's finest

Good lord she’ll do anything for relevance. Z list actress go home no one cares if you’re thrown out or arrested or whatever you’re planning…. go volunteer at a women’s shelter if you REALLY want to help.

@Alyssa_Milano the revealing (#inappropriate) outfit you wore to the kavanaugh hearing is in itself revealing to your own motives for being in attendance.

Some however apparently took Milano’s side, arguing that she can wear whatever she wants.
If you’re going to attack @Alyssa_Milano for her OUTFIT, you’re part of the problem. Women can wear whatever they want and your reaction is not their problem.

Oh are you the dress code police. What does it matter what she is wearing. Your priorities are screwed. Oh no cleavage. Grow up

@ThomasWictor Did you just say tit dress? Who cares what she was wearing. Because her cleavage is out, damn, only thought middle schoolers got heavy over that. @Alyssa_Milano is wearing what she is confident in. https://t.co/UDhnM9g4eb
