Hours after issuing an apology for attending the controversial event, the actress responds to questions raised by the Human Rights Foundation.
First she apologized; now her publicists say she is donating the money.
In response to a query from The Hollywood Reporter, Hilary Swank‘s rep says the Oscar-winning actress will give fees that she received for attending a controversial celebration in Chechnya “to various charitable organizations.”
Swank has drawn criticism for attending the Oct. 5 government-organized 35th birthday bash for Kremlin-backed Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who according to human rights groups has been linked to torture, abductions and killings.
