ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - Driver was the first celebrity to quit the global charity as accusations over staff paying for prostitutes during crises widened.
“All I can tell you about this awful revelation about Oxfam is that I am devastated,” the Oscar-nominated actress wrote on Twitter.
“Devastated for the women who were used by people sent there to help them, devastated by the response of an organisation that I have been raising awareness for since I was nine years old.”
A spokesperson for the charity said Driver’s decision “saddens us deeply, but we also understand and respect her choice,” according to a statement quoted by The Telegraph newspaper.
Oxfam has denied a cover-up over the use of prostitutes by senior aid workers in Haiti following the country’s devastating 2010 earthquake.
