Yeah, it seems like people are reaching and exaggerating to find a way to criticize this. What he said isn’t quite what he’s being accused of saying.

Putting aside the sexist undertones, I think everything he’s saying is accurate.
Tracie also famously got drunk during a professional interview and said, “I wouldn’t get raped. I’m too smart.”

Dude your former roommate AJ is on the Shitty Media Men list. Your Pot Therapy co-host called what Roman Polanski did “banging a thirteen year old” right here on Jezebel. Maybe people should be badgering YOU on #MeToo.
This was an interesting read. Thanks for parting the curtain on interview scheduling, I was dying to know all about that process. Making a woman uncomfortable over a man’s bad behavior isn’t the framing device I’d have gone with, I don’t think, but then I’m not a man so...
But, on the bright side, we’ve managed to make #metoo about putting women on the spot and make them uncomfortable in fun new ways. It was the natural endgame.
This article is one long bad take.
She died with more money than Abagail Folger who was a pretty big name heiress.
you inspired me to make this and it was very difficult bc realistically 99% of the cast is chaotic evil
You have zero experience to know what it means to be Number 1 on the call sheet. You have zero clue as to the dynamics of working on a set. Sit down, and do your homework as to how the day-to-day of being a working actor actually works before typing again.
Ding. Ding. Ding. It wasn’t a dig at Faye, except for people who can only imagine anything said by a successful woman about another successful woman must be a dig because, bitches.
Wow love how quickly people read this frank discussion of how the economics of Hollywood disenfranchise women, and went; “Fuck her she said a mean thing about Faye Dunaway.”
I think you really misread all of that if you think she was insulting Faye Dunaway.
I feel like you’re missing the point. The comment came from respect. She named someone she feels should have all the power and money she can handle. She isn’t calling out Dunaway she’s calling out a patriarchal power structure that has left one of the greatest actors of her generation without any real financial or…
I think she’s trashing the industry for not paying Faye enough, not Faye herself. I’m sure Ellen was at Whole Foods and saw Faye in her Prius and was like “fuck this industry!” Even though Faye probably likes her Prius. She should’ve left Faye’s name out of this, but I don’t think Ellen is wrong about the industry…
I don’t think that was the intent of her comment. My read was that Faye was her example of how actresses get public accolades but are financially undervalued. And just how fucked over by the grist mill of Hollywood women have been due to inequity in the power structure.
I didn’t see it as a dig, quite the opposite. Faye Dunaway is a fucking legend but she doesn’t have the economic power to match, and the only explanation for that is sexism.
Her interview was insanely real. Who gets to say that Disney is making too much money so she was going to get hers, and gets away with it! It’s incredible.
