It’s the exact same thing. You’re looking at an attractive woman complaining about how a sexist system has treated her and devalued her for her looks and shrugged and said “What does she have to complain about”. It’s not entitled to demand respect and consideration for talent and complain when it’s not forthcoming.

She’…

Yeah, she comes across so articulate and compassionate. I really love that interview too. And for me it’s nice to see someone from my home country, which doesn’t have a lot of famously good things to put its name to, produce someone who not only made it big in the US, but still reaches back home to help end some of…

It’s not the job of any actress to be “chill” in order to placate a testy male co-star. It’s not the job of any director to cast an actress based on how “chill” she is because he/she knows their male actor might not be so chill.
So they fought a bit of set, who cares? Mad Max probably wouldn’t have been as tense and…

Oh god yeah. I’ve been watching Charlize’s movies since I was a teen, but I had no idea how off-the-charts fucked up her past was. I don’t think I would ever have left therapy if I was her.

I’m usually really good at picking up sarcasm. It’s just becoming harder to distinguish between people making sarccy jabs at sexism and people actually being really sexist here. Jezebel has its fair share of genuine meanies. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen the comments section take a perceived transgression…

I don’t usually stan for celebs, not many anyways, but I’ll stan a bit for Charlize, because she’s always seemed cool to me and the South African animal activist teen in me still has crazy nostalgia goggles for Mighty Joe Young and pride reading my Peta newsletter that told the story about how she saved an endangered…

I’m sorry for assuming. It didn’t read like sarcasm initially, it read like someone being happy that a woman they didn’t think had a right to complain about an issue would potentially end up facing a bigger issue and see how she likes that.
Sorry I made that assumption, but you gotta know the comments here usually end…

If you are a “pretty” actress in Hollywood’s eyes you might get roles, but you can kiss goodbye to being taken seriously as a human being or a professional. You get to work for a little while in the designated hot prop collection and if you’re a great actress, that’s going to be frustrating as hell.
Hollywood is a…

Being paid to be a name to a cast of nobodies was pretty much what her and Michael Fassbender were doing in Prometheus. If it wasn’t a Ridley Scott movie they would have looked so out of place as supporting cast.
But yeah, she does a lot of dark, very intense character driven stuff, usually about a woman facing some…

Depends what you mean by blunt and abrasive. I have never seen her be abrasive or an asshole, only direct in the way that most South Africans are. Maybe I can relate being ex-patriot South African myself and having had Americans tell me I come off rude sometime. I’m not being rude, I’m not being personal or insulting,…

I too probably skew much older than most of the commenters here, which was why I was honestly so upset about the comments being full of what seems like so much venom and smug glee that “Oh, here’s a woman that’s talking about how Hollywood thought she was too hot to be taken seriously as a new actress. Well don’t…

It was pretty obvious she was referring to the beginning of her career if you actually read the quote, not where she’s at now. She’s already talked about turning up in baggy clothes in an effort to stop casting directors trying to push her into roles with no real substance or longevity in them.
When she turned up to…

Jezebel commenters to vaguely decent attractive male actor that has managed not to say anything terrible for a week: “Dream man! Perfection! This is what a feminist looks like!”
Jezebel commenters to female actress: *pulls out recipts from 5 years ago* “Man can you believe this absolute unsalvageable excuse for a human…

Mom roles are bad if actresses *only* get those roles from a certain point onwards, then it sucks. God knows JLaw has played enough Moms at 25 now. Like, seriously, 90% of the roles she’s played have been Moms....
And most of Charlize’s roles have been unglamorous anyway. Have you not seen any of her movies? She played…

I honestly can’t. Are you really saying women need to sit down and not talk about the shit that goes on with film casting and the way women are treated in this industry? Y’all know if Jezebel had spun this quote in the way it was obviously intended you’d be talking about how terrible it was that the men running this…

So Robin Wright and Scarlett Johansson are also assholes by default of dating Penn? Robin Wright is fucking awesome and she married him and had kids with him!

I’ve only ever heard that’s she’s kind and caring. She’s a blunt talker, but god knows there are enough beloved men that are blunt that don’t get half the shit women do for the same.
She’s a pretty tireless humanitarian, pours a ton or her own time and cash into her outreach charities, she’s a UN Messenger of Peace,…

Wow, this is actually really cruel. Isn’t this the same for all actresses and isn’t it actually horrible and disgusting that genuinely great actresses are cast aside the second they start looking older? Why would be sound so gleeful about something like a woman’s value being depreciated as she’s no longer considered a…

Wow, so now Jezebel is employing men to write articles that misrepresent what female actresses say regarding topics of objectification in the film industry by men? Now THAT has left a sour taste in my mouth.

Firstly you say that Charlize is complaining about being hot. She isn’t. How is that even what you inferred from…

That’s very true. Still, you would think it would be known in movie star/celeb circles, who are the select few delivering great results and they would be the only ones getting used. It’s not like they have to worry about price tags either. But yes, Kris’ first nose job was probably done at a time when their techniques…
