Dolly Parton was heavily criticized after making an appearance with her “9 to 5” co-stars, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin during the 2017 Emmy Awards while Fonda and Tomlin went on an anti-Trump tirade.
Parton stood and remained silent during the triad and had a look of discomfort or embarrassment on her face.
James Woods quickly came to her defense and set the record straight on what really happened at the 2017 Emmy Awards.
Woods stated that Parton was “caught off guard” between “two gargoyles” and that she is a “great, loyal American.”
Bizpac Review reported:
The trio, who had co-starred on the 1980 film “9 to 5,” reunited at the Emmys to present an award.
That’s when Hollywood moonbats Tomlin and “Hanoi Jane” Fonda tore into President Trump with a thinly veiled attack.
“Back in 1980 in that movie, we refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot,” Fonda said.
Tomlin chimed in: “And in 2017, we still refuse to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.”
You can tell by the shocked expression on Dolly’s face that she does not share her colleagues’ anti-Trump views and was stunned by the vitriol.
Afterward, many country-music fans bashed Parton, accusing her of being just another clueless Hollywood hypocrite who trashes Trump without understanding the issues.
That’s when noted conservative actor James Woods leapt to Dolly’s defense. Woods, who co-starred with Parton in the 1992 movie “Straight Talk,” praised her as a “great, loyal American” who was obviously “caught off-guard.”
Woods also told his Twitter followers that it’s not Dolly’s fault that she was placed “between two gargoyles.”
I know and love @DollyParton. We worked together for months on #StraightTalk. She is a great, loyal, stand-up American. They sandbagged her. https://t.co/4UMydIJyVJ

Do not judge @DollyParton because she was caught between two gargoyles. I guarantee she would never have approved that copy ahead of time. https://t.co/YWJEhtHGW8

She is a very sweet person by nature. I am certain she was so caught off-guard, she was literally speechless. @DollyParton #AmericanTreasure https://t.co/nVI4ELDhrf
