Elisabeth Moss is being branded a hypocrite on social media after she wore black in solidarity with the #MeToo movement and gave a rousing acceptance speech in support of feminism during Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards — all while remaining a prominent member of the highly controversial Church of Scientology.

Ms. Moss, who accepted a best actress award for her starring role in Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel “The Handmaid’s Tale,” quoted Ms. Atwood in her speech and thanked “all of the women who came before you and after you who were brave enough to speak out against intolerance and injustice and to fight for equality and freedom in this world.”

The speech was praised in some circles as a feminist rallying cry, but many social media users discounted her words as hollow due to her continued affiliation with the Church of Scientology. The organization, plagued by allegations of rampant harassment and abuse, has faced renewed scrutiny stemming from Leah Remini’s Emmy Award-winning docuseries “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.”

Beautiful speech by Elisabeth Moss, whose religion imprisons people and forces abortion on women in its priesthood. — Daniel Bentley (@DJBentley) January 8, 2018

As I say at every award show: Elisabeth Moss funds and defends an organization that profits off of human trafficking and child abuse. Her pretty words mean nothing. pic.twitter.com/OdnDY3pVFa — Ryan Houihan (@RyanHoulihan) January 8, 2018

Elisabeth Moss winning a golden globe at an award show supporting abused women while scientology mistreats women and forces them to have abortions because kids are a distraction…. — hattie (@hattiesoykan) January 8, 2018

Elisabeth Moss has done a very good of making the world forget she’s a Scientologist. She is actually much better for Scientologists than Tom Cruise. She’s Sally Yates to his James Comey. — Jacob Bernstein (@BernsteinJacob) January 8, 2018

Elizabeth Moss is a Scientologist, a religion that actively silences women (see: Danny Masterson) while covering up their own faults, and they aggressively go after those who dare speak up against them. But, she’s wearing black in support of #TimesUp . So… ??? #GoldenGlobes — Yolanda Machado (@SassyMamainLA) January 8, 2018

Let’s see what hypocritical thing Elisabeth Moss says about human rights while being an oppressive Scientologist! — Zach Heltzel (@zachheltzel) January 8, 2018

Ms. Moss, who was raised in Scientology, has defended her beliefs in the past, telling an Instagram user in August that “religious freedom and tolerance and understanding the truth and equal rights for every race, religion and creed are extremely important” to her.
