Sean Penn recently published a debut novel titled Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff. It has been making a buzz but for the wrong reasons as the epilogue opens with a poem, which criticizes #MeToo, the movement to combat sexual harassment, and references Charlie Rose and Louis C.K., who last year faced allegations of sexual misconduct.
Penn writes, “Where did all the laughs go? / Are you out there Louis C.K.? / Once crucial conversations / Kept us on our toes / Was it really in our interest / To trample Charlie Rose? / And what's with this 'Me Too'? / This infantilizing term of the day… / Is this a toddler's crusade? / Reducing rape, slut-shaming, and suffrage to reckless child's play?”
Many people took to Twitter to voice outrage and also mock Penn over his poem and novel. The actor has not commented as yet.
