While the announcement of Halle Bailey's groundbreaking casting as Ariel in Disney's upcoming live-action film"The Little Mermaid" was met with a lot of supportive feedback, it also brought in some backlash.
Diana Huey, the Asian American actress who played Ariel in the first national tour of"The Little Mermaid," shared her own story about some of the responses she faced when she was cast in the role. "Isn’t Ariel’s entire message about finding where she belongs, where she is her truest self, and where she feels full and accepted?" she added."Halle is going to make a beautiful Ariel, a powerful Ariel and an inspiring Ariel and I am so excited to watch her change the world with her performance as she helps continue to make our world a more loving, inclusive and open minded place," she continued.
And she shouldn’t she was picked to play the part best of luck to her
When us Snow White going to be played by a black actress, an LGBT+, or maybe by Ilhan ? I think Snow White is a Supremacist story!!!
Good for HalleBailey. Go high. You have the power,talent, beauty and strength to silence the ignorant! 💞🤗🧜♀️🙌🍥🕉️
Still waiting on an original movie idea and not a rehashed one
she should let her light shine
Im not seeing this shit, I WANT A TRANS WOMAN DOING little mermaid
ariel isnt black jasmine isnt white
I didn't know mermaids exsisted?
Look at that face! She makes a perfect Ariel!! People need to get over this color crap! She’s perfect!
I think Disney wanted to try a more authentic little mermaid. The legends of mermaids did originate from Mesopotamia.
Keep your head up high Halle!!! And for anyone still stuck on stupid thinking that she can’t play the role because of her beautiful skin color 💺sit down and 🖕🏾
Pretty sure the ‘backlash’ is a manufactured crap. Honestly haven’t seen or read anything negative about it. I don’t know one person who cares.
Good for her! Mermaids are fantasies that started in sailor's ravaged minds. As for them being white, the first report of a mermaid was in now Syria roughly 400 bc, and was not the white girl Disney portrayed her as.
I thought that the lion King was a racist, xenophobic, bigot, White Supremacist, Hater, White Nationalist movie and now this Little Mermaid is in trouble Can't win these days with a movie.
How can they have dark skin under the ocean? If anything this bitch should be whiter than snow/gray.
What a terrible casting, is almost like getting Brad Pitt to be Black Panther
I don’t know a single person who has issue with this.
I think it's mer-person these days....not sure anymore though
Cuz there isn't any.
GOOD ! I can’t wait to see it !!
there 👏 was 👏 no 👏 backlash 👏
When nobody goes to see the movie, she will.
我不喜欢迪斯尼的“政治正确”，但不意味着这个姑娘不能去演美人鱼，“抵制”是件非常严重的指控，你们都什么毛病？
Reading the backlashers remarks..There from very young fans who’s barely lived in the world outside their home and a movie. Some even say ‘Walt wouldn’t do that’. Yes..Walt would do that..why.? “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them” ~ Walt Disney
hopefully we get Morgan Freeman to play the new Cinderella
because there isn't any
Noone even cares about the little mermaid disney movie let alone her casted as ariel! She just want to be talked about. How many times i have to tell these liberal celebrities all that clout chasing isn't good for them.
She shouldn’t. This is not about her
The fake backlash
She is very beautiful and I’m sure HCA would be proud!!
What backlash?
Though I may criticize the decisions of the people that hired her sometimes, it’s certainly not her fault. Glad to see she’s not letting it get to her.
