'With her heart racing as she went onstage, Kelly Bachman knew she had to speak up.

“I’m a comic,” the 27-year-old said to open her routine, in a video later shared on social media. “It’s our job to name the elephant in the room. Does anybody know what that is?”

A few people nodded and muttered in affirmation. Most of the crowd, a hodgepodge of 20- and 30-something performers at a basement bar in Manhattan, was dead silent.'

(CNN)-- 'A night of comedy ended in a performer and an audience member being asked to leave a bar in New York City after they confronted Harvey Weinstein in the audience.

Kelly Bachman was one of several performers at Manhattan's Downtime Bar in a variety show sponsored by Actor's Hour Wednesday night where, she told CNN, she spotted the former Hollywood producer. She used her time onstage to call Weinstein "Freddy Krueger" and call out rape allegations against him.'

The way she got booed and told to shut up by men when she spoke up.
Fucking ghastly.

“I welcome all walks of life into my space,” the 26-year-old said, adding that she protected other young actors “by freedom of speech."

So the organiser thinks being a predatory rapist is just a walk of life?

Well done Kelly for having the courage to call him out, I hope it doesn't damage her career at all.

I hope so too, Ginger.

I don't understand how he is tolerated. 'Ghastly' is spot on.
