Once an unnamed sexual assault victim, Chanel Miller accepts Woman of the Year award — this time, herself

When she was recognized as one of Glamour’s Women of the Year in 2016, Chanel Miller watched from the audience as someone else accepted the award for her.

The victim-impact statement she wrote to the man convicted of sexually assaulting her — former Stanford University student Brock Turner — had been published by BuzzFeed and read millions of times, including on the floor of Congress. Yet she was known only by a pseudonym: Emily Doe.

A trio of actresses read Miller’s words before a Stanford professor read a statement on her behalf. All the while, Glamour reported, she sat silently in the back — her presence at the ceremony unknown to even the magazine putting it on.

On Monday, Miller was again recognized as a Glamour Woman of the Year. This time, she took the stage to accept the honor herself. Dressed in a yellow gown, she smiled while reciting a poem she had written.

Tears of Triumph and Cheers for Change at the 2019 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

If you didn’t cry at the 2019 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, “you are dead inside,” according to Rebel award honoree Charlize Theron. Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City was quite alive last night as there wasn’t a single dry eye in the audience. From chanting for child protection with the empowering women of the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) to sharing wildly relatable moments of laughter with host Busy Philipps, the 29th annual WOTY awards proved just how far women have come and are willing to go to make change, no matter how uncomfortable it might be.

“Our theme this year is ‘Go Big,’ and every woman that we honored has really been going big, making bold choices, and pushing the envelope,” said Glamour editor in chief Samantha Barry. “Whether it’s fighting for equal pay like Megan Rapinoe or fighting for our climate like Greta Thunberg, all of the honorees are creating a ripple effect of change for women in the generations to come.”

Of course, the black-tie affair kicked off with celebratory cocktails and Champagne before guests, honorees, and their families settled in for the main program with welcoming words from Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch and Glamour’s chief business officer Susan Plagemann.

Charlize Theron’s Speech at Glamour’s 2019 Women of the Year Awards Is Required Reading

“We’re all in this together. All of us. There’s nothing we can’t do. And I’m here to back you guys.”

Charlize Theron gave an incredible speech when she accepted her Glamour 2019 Woman of the Year Award on Monday night—and it should be required reading.

The actor, who’s set to appear in the upcoming movie Bombshell, took the stage at New York’s Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on Monday, November 11.

She was introduced by her Bombshell costar Kate McKinnon, who told the audience about the first time she was captivated by Theron—her Oscar-winning performance in Monster—and what it was like to share the stage with her on Saturday Night Live.

“For some reason I was asked to introduce Charlize Theron at this Glamour event, which is sort of like a bridge troll being asked to introduce a queen, but trolls love snacks and green rooms, so here I am,” McKinnon joked. “What can be said about Charlize Theron, a person whose Helen of Troy-esque, ship-launching face is absolutely the least remarkable thing about her? A person whose real-life badass-ness makes her character from Mad Max: Fury Road look lazy and selfish? A person so grand that when you meet her, it only feels right to get on the floor—but who is so nice and normal that you end up just kind of doing a little curtsey?”

Around NYC Monday Night: Denise Rich Raises Millions More for Cancer Research

Denise Rich has been throwing her Angel Ball for about 20 years, since her daughter Gabrielle died of leukemia. She renamed the charity Gabrielle’s Angels, and kept raising money. Rich’s charity has actually sent drugs into the market, and had successes battling leukemia. It wasn’t such Denise’s daughter who died of cancer, but her mother and sister, too.

So there she was last night on stage at Cipriani Wall Street in front of a room filled with well heeled patrons. They donated millions more, and Denise gave them a decent meal plus Patti Labelle, Boy George, and Flo.Rida as musical guests. Other guests included Heidi Klum and her new husband, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Coco Rocha, Lorraine Schwartz, and philanthropist Jean Shafiroff (in an amazing pink taffeta gown). Clive Davis brought Nikki Haskell, mourning Robert Evans, and famed actress Brenda Vaccaro.

Back in 2000, 1500 people showed up at the Sheraton ballroom on Seventh Avenue to support Denise. Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Milton Berle were among the guests. There were lots of real stars. There was no seating plan, so Geraldo Rivera took the mic and told everyone to sit down wherever they were. Nineteen years later, the “papered”guests have been replaced by actual donors. Clive Davis takes a table every year. Star Jones is on the scene.
