Ivanka Trump, daughter of US president Donald Trump, tweeted her support for Oprah Winfrey's speech against sexual harassment but aroused the ire of Hollywood women, who reminded Ivanka that there are numerous claims of sexual harassment against her father.

Actress Alyssa Milano called on Ivanka to donate to the "Time's Up" fund and said that the money could support women who had complained against her father.

Right wingers came out against Winfrey and said that she had been photographed repeatedly in the company of Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood producer accused of tens of cases of sexual impropriety and rape.
