HOLLYWOOD - Actress Scarlett Johansson has branded the furor surrounding her email communications with presidential candidate Barack Obama "sexist."
Johansson is a huge supporter of the White House hopeful, and told reporters in May how she regularly offers the politician advice via email.
But the star is stunned by the media interest in their virtual relationship, calling it an embarrassing product of "extreme sexism."
She tells the New York Daily News, "I kept thinking to myself, 'God, if this was just, like ... George Clooney or any of the other (Obama) surrogates or supporters ... there wouldn't be (any) question about it. Nobody would even talk about it.
"It seemed to me to be like a product of extreme sexism."
