Speaking at the Women in the World Summit, the 32-year-old actress says she was baffled by Ivanka's tete-a-tete on CBS "This Morning", reported The Telegraph.
"It was kind of baffling, I have to say, really baffling. You can't have it both ways, right? If you take a job as a public advocate, then you must advocate publicly, right?
"And yesterday, she said something that I found particularly disappointing, which is that the greatest change she was going to make... Would be behind closed doors, and nobody would actually know she made this change," Johansson says in a sarcastic tone.
The "Ghost in the Shell" actress adds what confuses her is that Ivanka is in a position to make a change through her words but is not utilising the chance at all.
"... She has the opportunity to really make a big impact, just by being vocal. And I have met her several times in the past, we both grew up in New York and have some friends in common, and she's a very well-spoken, smart and intelligent woman. ... It baffles me, the whole situation baffles me."
