Kobe Bryant made it to the stage at the 90th Academy Awards, taking
home the Oscar for animated short film for “Dear Basketball.” Some noted
that with past rape accusations against Bryant, his appearance seemed
an odd fit with the night's Time's Up anti-harassment theme.
Bryant,
39, was charged with sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman in
Colorado in 2003. A year after the accusation, prosecutors dropped the
charges because the woman did not want to go ahead with a trial. Bryant
said the sex was consensual.

The
Oscars on Sunday focused heavily on the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements,
meant to empower women to speak out against sexual harassment and
abuse, and some viewers reacted harshly to seeing Bryant win the award.
