🤔🤔🤔

Just....LetItGo and sit down

Disagree with her it is ur right but it appears that the offending statement started w/ “in an ideal world....” For example In an ideal world 52% of white women would know not to vote for Trump” but in reality that was not the case..

Uhm. Seems like she's saying the exact same thing.

So basically the exact same thing she said in the article? 🙄

Protect her at all costs.

Why is this such a thing?

Can't wait for her Oscar worthy preformance when she can be cast as ANYBODY and portrays Rosa Parks...

The Hollywood Brotherhood? The Hollywood Spring? is this the apology tour? and you forgot they are ALL dedicated liberal democrats as well so lets get it all out

She bent the knee, it's over for her.

Never apologize.

Ppl don’t want to see the REAL issue. ScarJo CAN portray a self-proclaimed “unapologetically lesbian” LESBIAN, but 1st, ppl, including ScarJo, would have to: A) Acknowledge that lesbians who don’t “conform” are not men B) Stop rewriting lesbians postmortem

WE LIVE IN REALITY. I WISH YOU COULD JOIN US BUT YOU LIVE IN HOLLYWEIRD SO I REALIZE THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

Click meet bait

Scarlett Johansson is rumoured to replace Vin Diesel in voicing Groot for the next guardians film x

When you still need to get those Marvel checks...

Ah, so she read her script when threatened. I thought she was supposed to be brave.

Jesus. Atleast have the self respect to stand by what you said, cause you definitely meant it.

Considering that “white cis gendered” people make up 70% of the US population, that would stand to reason. But common sense isn’t so common with the left.

God I hate Twitter

Wtf is CIS?

Does this mean she’s retiring? She’s very Caucasian and already quite wealthy. If she believes this she should retire.

Supply & demand. Studios dont care about race. they care about money. they'll put the actors they think will bring in the most pay. US population is 77% white (2013) Most a-list actors are white. its not a race thing but demographic thing. you cant say the same in Africa or India

2 genders

Stop backing down! Stand up for yourself! Apologizing just emboldens the enemy!

I bet she hasn't relinquished any jobs to POC in reparation....

“CIS” WTF, IDK, WFC,

Save room for desert when you idiots all eat yourselves.

Well, she kept her spine for as long as she could.

The PC bullies silence free speech again. Proving her point.

Do you really, Scarlett? Because if you did, you would apologize for taking roles that should have rightfully gone to other actors and stop doing it now. Also, “political correctness” is a term used by douchebags to dismiss people who stand up against oppression.

Give all your I'll-gotten gains back then. Call it wealth redistribution if it makes you feel better.

Liberals: You never appropriate a beloved character that’s not in line with your gender or race!!!!! 5 minutes later: We’d to praise the new black female James Bond

Poor thing. I feel so bad for these victims of Hollywood.

Noooo Scarlett.... never apologize to the e-mob. You will just feed their delusion.

Sad she had to cave!

Nobody reads articles anyway. All anyone does is react to headlines. We are in a generation of clickbait headlines and scathing soundbites that are all out of context.

Entry of the Gladiators Intensifies

Sold her soul with this statement.

Never apologize to the mob-like bullies.

There is a significant difference b/w white actors playing Black/'POC' characters, & women/men playing transgender ppl (which Dante Gill was not). The transgender community is itself predominantly white, and this is yet another appropriation of history/suffering of Blacks/'POC.'

Clean up on aisle 6

I'm not even mad at her comments about playing any person because of race. I'm mad because, well she's not a GREAT actress. I mean she doing her thing with Marvel though.

We really don't CARE !!

'...but I will continue to go out of my way to benefit from that.'

No, you dont get to backtrack on comments you made this past week for something you've been dragged about for YEARS.

People: You're racist if you think a black girl can't play Ariel. Same People: It's a disgrace that Scarlett is playing a trans character in a movie! How dare she!!!

Meanwhile, all sensible, thinking people understand what she was saying. .people are fucking lunatics these days. I legit feel badly for you guys. What's miserable world you choose to live in.

Cis gendered? Lmao 😂 wtf does that even mean?

Guess who's cancelled?

It's called acting. She's hired to play a part. That's it. So, Tom Hanks shouldn't have played a gay man in Philadelphia!?

We go live to the ScarJo PR team.

If a black woman can play 007 why can't Scarjo play a tranny?

You think sweetheart? You think?

Scarlett_Jo why did you have to get politically involved. I barely have respect for actors/actresses as it is. All respect gone. You should bring those comments to script writers not the GP.

She knows the identity obsessed are angry but also is aware she merely just needs to hunker down until next weeks 'worst thing ever lets attack them now' and she'll be out of the crosshairs

Oh girl, shut up.

The left eating its own. Get in line or else....

Oh Scarlett, you were doing fine. You didn't need to apologize. Twitter outrage isn't real. These Twitter numbskulls have nothing better to do all day than complain.

I didn't watch the interview, but overall, the viewing public is over 80% white and over 95% straight, so catering to that definitive a target market could hardly be termed anything but 'wise.'

So if the role calls for a black german 56 year old man then if scarlett Johansson wanted to play that she should? So then why even have auditions for roles then?

True .

Only in 2019 would a person whose job it is to portray people they aren't in movies have to apologize for saying they can portray different people in movies

working overtime to save black widow movie lol

I pity her. She has to pander to stay relevant. Poor thing

did she- did she think we was gonna accept for this apology? and to think i actually shed some tears during her death in endgame .. wow

Ffs

Stop apologizing!!!!!

Ugh. Just stand by your words. Own what you say. There's no point in taking it back since people are going to dislike you if you back track. Might as well own what you say. Now both sides are like.

“Too late!” “Where is the faux outrage?” “There!” “Wha, behind the rabbit?” “It is the rabbit.” etc...

She fells to realize is that it isn’t that way. Only when artists start standing up for others who don’t get these opportunities will it be a level playing field. Unfortunately,we are a long way from that reality. She will have to miss a paycheck, & I don’t think she likes that.

Tree?

When are these actors going to stop apologizing for nothing and just say fuck you to the haters

ffs when will celebs realise that instead of “apologising” or “clarifying” they are suppose to say “eat my balls pussycat” and give everyone the finger.

Groot when she said she could play a tree

👏 Stop 👏 saying 👏 Caucasian 👏 when 👏 you 👏 mean 👏 European 👏

What bullshit

Apologizing to the mob? BIG MISTAKE. Now she is toast

Translation: I pissed off my crazy friends.

She can play what ever the hell she wants. Ignorethebacklash

She said what she said. She meant it last time and she meant it now. No studio forced statement will change the fact that ScarJo has shown us who she is and we believe her. We believe that she is

You do not need to apologize.

owned

But I thought u could play any person tree or animal. Keep that same energy

Don't apologize when you're right

Doesnt make her previous statement less true. Both statements are accurate and bravo for not apologizing for it. There is nothing to apologize for.

Then quit...

she over there trying to take Groot away from Vin Diesel

Scarlett, you should have just kept your statement and let people be mad. If they get triggered, who cares? But that? That was a bad response.

What a clown omg

So quit?

Why is she even apologizing? It's her job. She's an actor. Tf is happening to our society? Smh.

Did anyone actually think she was going to stand by her opinions with integrity?

Scarlett_Jo, mollified by the manipulative Hollywood powers-that-be? Write your memoirs now, while everything is fresh in your mind. Write. About. Everything. Your story. ALL OF IT. BeBrave HollywoodCorruption Pedophilia MeToo

Don't do it!!!

She also used the phrase “political correctness” in the way right wingers use it instead of what it actually means which is “having manners”

You respect them until they open their out of touch mouths.

Going through the comments,s it just reaffirms my belief that its not worth apologizing to these idiots

She could have come out against trans activists who said a normal person shdnt play a trans. Instead, shes whipped by a VERY small minority.

So? Glad it's not an apology anyway.

What a roundabout, pussyfooted response that isn't going to please anyone.

What is cis gendered?

Weak. You guys play pretend for a living. My daughter sometimes pretends to be a unicorn. Anyone can pretend to be anyone or anything.

'I recognize, that in reality...' I'll just leave it there- 😑

Nice PC statement by your publicist.

Don't ever cave to the outrage mobs. Ever

Oh why o why did she apologise to the mob 🤦‍♂️

Might have wanted to say that in the first place. Seems like ba k pedaling to me

Black Widow will be the only MCU film I don't see. I can't support someone who is too dumb to grasp why she should stfu and enjoy her advantages while she can. Hollywood will dump her in the gutter in a few years anyway because she gets too old.

She’s hitting the panic button

We have serious first world problems here!

I guess the audience doesn't get a say in who or what they want to see. Here I thought it was a free market ...

'Cis-gendered' means 'normal people.'

What a disappointing capitulation to the woke thought police.

Trannys acting as trannys aren't actors.

A commercial enterprise that panders to the majority of its market? A cultural phenomenon that seems to be centered on the people that create and consume it? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!! I demand all American films be in Swahili and all the actors be paraplegic Amazon tribesmen.

NAW! YOU DON'T SAY!!!!

Is she becoming annoying and problematic to promote Black Widow movie like Br*e L*rson did with Captain Marvel?

Holy shit this woman is weak, cowering at the first sign of controversy.

Never cave in to the mob

Cue the usual idiots....

because no one wants to watch trannies

How about the person most qualified gets the job? I'm sick of giving someone something just so nobody can claim (insert_your_trendy_label_here)

don't bow down to trans-fascism

'... so therefore i will no longer be accepting roles that are not cisgender, white women, and will be pointing casting agencies towards minority actors who don't have the opportunities i have, and actually fit those roles'

Backtracking ass

She has nothing to apologize for. At all.

She has nothing to apologize for

Ir maybe it is because white STRAIGHT actors/actresses make up the majority of the population?

Now, you have shown they can leverage you. They will now eat you now.

Oh no you don't Scarlett. You don't get to back out of this one. You're in it with us now. They won't forgive you for what you said. Never apologize to the woke. Never show weakness.

Never apologize to the mob

A professional Hollywood PR firm put out a statement that includes “a wide spread discrepancy amongst my industry”? Free advice, ScarJo: don’t pay a firm a fortune for all of its wily strategists if not one of them can use the English language.

To people who say you shouldn't play roles outside of your gender i say

Never apologize to appease irrational bullshit.....

This was saved in a draft lol

Do they not realize correcting an interview means you're remembering suddenly to edit and filter your words? But the original is the real them? Shout out to actors with the sense to just say, 'my bad, I f--ked up'.

ScarJo’s publicist got to work.

Guess when your movies that were drummed up and created by other minds and all you do is say a few lines and make billions you can say whatever shit comes out your brain. I wonder how well paid the entire staff making the films were? They deserve the cut also.

cis gendered is such a derogatory term in itself, Difficult to respect those that use it on a regular basis.

Should have quit when you were ahead. They'll never leave it alone now.

“I was answering a question about political correctness and art” So why not point out that political correctness is code for ‘acting right’ instead of getting defensive?

Ugh. She was right! I was *THIS* close to saying “good for her!” If you’re going to fold so easily and capitulate to the mob, you may as well not bother thinking for yourself.

So what, they chose their way and it comes with consequences

Anyone want to tell these Libiots that people will actually pay money 2 see Scarlett act in a film while they won’t 4 a lesser or unknown trans actor? It’s all about box office draw & being right for a part. They can presell territories based on her name alone for part of budget.

“In an ideal world”...yes, as someone in her industry, I agree that you’re trained to fill any role. However, it is very obviously not an ideal world or industry and she’s ignoring the prejudices that make it not-ideal when she accepts problematic casting.

Way to cave Scarlett Johansson 🙄

Caucasian cis gendered....WTF is going on here?

Ugh, she ruined it!! I was so proud of her for giving that interview.

This bitch is exhausting.

Bitch really didn’t change a thing did she

If you stop saying stupid things, then you wouldn't have to apologize

Congrats, Leftist mobs. You got another scalp.

She still doesn't get it and stop talking girl. You've bee. basking in your privilege for so long that you're not even aware of the problems that exist in your industry in terms of diversity.

Your success should be celebrated and don't let others shame you for those successes. Just ensure while climbing the ladder of success you pull those behind you up to the next rung.

ScarlettJohansson has no reason to apologize. Actors are paid to pretend to be someone they are not. Decrying an actor for being an actor is down right stupid.

'discrepancy'?

KeepIt

People make me laugh... she’s explained herself. That’s it. Doesn’t matter now. Twitter just will NOT, accept any form of explanation or apology, even when demanding one. I believe her & plus people are entitled to their opinions... just like she is. Doesn’t make it fact 🙄

Do this celebrities stand by anything they say? Or is it always a calculated statement based on how much interest or backlash it generates? How fake do you have to be in Hollywood to join the elite club?

GirlBye

She doesnt have to apologize for wanting to ACT

Job should go to the best person for it period.

As long as Twitter is outraged at ScarlettJohansson fer wanting to play any role, please direct some of that outrage on captdope, who plays a role a disabled actor should play on Superstore. It seems diversity casting doesn't include the disabled in AmericaFerrera's mind.

Bend the knee!

RAH-EEELY Noice

Gender is not isomeric.

NEVER apologize to the pathetic mob!!!!

Im so lost what did she do

Thats a big I don't give a fuck from the rest of us.

These bullies are not in as a large a numbers as they appear. Twitter is not real life. These people are an extreme minority. STOP APOLOGIZING TO THEM !!!

Tf? Was that supposed to be restated bc that’s basically the same damn thing she said the first time 😂😂😂. Y’all funny

It’s called living in a country where the majority demographic is Caucasian, heterosexual and don’t suffer from dysphoria. Arguably, minority groups are already over-represent in the media when compared to their national demographic percentage.

I don’t even know what this means. She bad for being a woman?

Issue was no trans actors&wrong gender playing. In other news,transphobic,closet case to fame,not sure what a trans role in film is Hollywood,continues to ignore America’s first award winning trans Bralalalala still owed $2 mill by Iron Man etc sup art director after sex assault

Never, ever apologize. Now they know they can manipulate you, and they'll be coming for more. There is no end to it.

Here ya go Scarlett

She doesn't need to apologize for anything. It's called acting for a reason.

She shouldn’t apologize tbh

It came across they way it was just overreacted to by Snowflake idiots.

Giving someone special consideration because of skin color, sexuality or gender is not equality in any scenario, even it’s when non-binary people or people of color that are being given the advantage. It’s just participating in the very thing you’re against.

Oy. Enough with the 'cis' nonsense.

So if she “understands” that.... why.... is she arguing her defense? Why not use your privileged status to open the door for those who don’t even get the CHANCE to audition for the same roles she can get?

Jesus

I realize it but still am going to take yall roles

I still don’t understand what she said that anyone got upset with

Lame. Never give in to harpies.

Are people mad at this statement or...?

I had so much more respect for her yesterday stop it scarlet stand your ground!

If you’re black and don’t make it in Hollywood as an actor, then you’re not working hard enough. Stop making lame excuses.

As this comment thread shows, apologizing just riles up the woke mobs even worse. Ignore them and in 12 hours they're chasing some other shiny thing.

“I recognize that in reality, there is a wide spread discrepancy amongst my industry that favors Caucasian, cis gendered professionals' - loggers, firefighters, roofers, steel workers...

Yeah you better just retire

Why even care ffs? Just release a statement - telling all the pretentious c*nts online to very (politely) go very f*ck themselves! For all they do is come online to try and find fault or something to complain about; because most are lonely, fat bastards who have no life. 👍🏻

Goddamn it, Scarlett. You were doing good. Don’t give in to their bull crap. We need consistency to fight against this revolting ideology.

Should have never apologized!!!!

Her agent told her to say that. These people ha e no backbone. The real fascists are the studio executives who force this type of fraudulence onto people.

Is she trying to make herself look better bruh she’s literally repeating the same stuff

No you were right the first time

Its ok guys. Im sick of the real enemy, those evil white men, too! Please like me! 🥺🤮

I’m sick of this damned “cis” labeling.

Oh gawd, why would she give in to the perpetually outraged community 🙄🙄🙄

Not to worry as u can c no one attends Hollywood movies

She doesnt owe anyone an apology.

2019 be like:

Whyyyyy Do not apologize ffs.

Hmmm, you know, if you don’t make super offensive statements from the get-go, then you don’t have to call in your PR teams to do damage control on a weekend.

Scarlett, be proud of your talents and your ability to land roles that you can play. There is no such thing as 'privilege' - that is what caste systems provide, and USA is market capitalism. There is no such thing as cisgender, just humans who are men and women. Keep acting well.

The Harriet Tubman story, starring Scarlett Johansson.

No her industry favors crapping on Caucasians. It's literally the only race you're allowed to bash and constantly replace.

Nice hair cut lmao.., brought a beautifuul complete smoke show down to a Bieber look a like, probably a bad choice..

She is not caucasian. She is Jewish.

Pathetic. So quick to total surrender.

When the mob comes after you demanding you apologize, it's not because they're looking for a chance at redemption, but an admission of guilt, which they've already decided you are guilty. Tell them to go eff themselves. We don't need the PC Police's money. Get woke, go broke.

Which she is not one so, what is the issue here? She’s Jewish. Would we be having this conversation if she was half black?

I want to be her PR it seems like a lifetime job

So last week the mentality was 'Anyone could play Ariel, don't narrow it down!' Johansson says something along those lines and gets bullied into a groveling apology. Ah! The beautiful fascism of identity politics.

Scarlett's next role must be a clown because she's really getting into character 🤡

... no. No one has the right to be discriminated against based on their gender. She has a right to play any role she's offered, despite what social justice warriors think.

Hahahaha, let the left eat itself

No need to apologize

Her comments were taken “out of context” but she is basically repeating herself in her statement again. Okay then!

NEVER follow up an honest statement with anything that could be interpreted as caving to woke-scolds. It only eggs them on. Any actress or actor should play any role if they audition best esp if they have, through tireless work as SJ has, built star power that sells tickets.

What does she need to apologise for lol

Never, ever, ever apologize to the Woke. 1. They can’t accept an apology because the ideology requires being permanently aggrieved. 2. So you’ll just degrade yourself in the process.

Too late straighty. Gay actors for Gay Roles 🏳️‍🌈 you shouldn't be 'allowed' to play anything you want. Gay actors should be 'allowed' your self entitlement roles. What a privileged joke.

Stay woke Scarlett. Maybe they’ll eat you last...

Why apologize? These miserable sjws will never be satisfied.

We understood correctly both times. Not the first time she has demonstrated to be blind regarding the reality others experience. I bet Marvel gave her a call which is why she is attempting to correct the record.

Scarlett, never apologise to SJWs. Never. They don’t care and will still attack you for being normal.

Live by the Woke Die by the Woke

The left eating itself is truly a sight to behold.

We are truly the capital district in the Hunger Games.

I heard very similar statements about the casting for the reboot of little mermaid. Now suddenly it's problematic.

another one bends over for the idiots.

“Business in a country of majority white, non-trans people employs majority white, non-trans people” More on this shocking discovery at 11

PR.

Smh of course she folds

Why backtrack? Apologising to the lunatics just promotes their fundamental psychotic nature.

Never apologize to the SJW and Cucks.

Stop apologizing dummy! You can never apologize enough for these crazy left wing lunatics! Pick one side or the other. Be a man, man!

good luck booking that black widow movie you speak of

How about a director/casting director cast whoever they want to cast? Novel concept, innit?

Never apologise to the mob.

Don't apologize. It's unnecessary.

Now no one likes Scarlet Johansson

Happy she spoke up about it. The whole idea that an actor can't act like one particular type of person or thing is complete horsefeathers.

What is she apologizing for? Because she didn’t say anything wrong.

Hmmmmm Caucasian pop of the US at around 65% wonder why the movies favor white actors. Damn you people just don't get it.

Cis gender Does she mean straight people? This PC crap has gotten beyond ridiculous

If she was black, all yall would be defending her, don't lie.

Does she even know what half of these words mean

Never apologize to the morons.

You were correct the first time. No need to explain yourself. All good from the get go

We all realize that none of this matters even a little bit in any way that anyone should care about at all, right? We're just commenting inane opinions here (including me) bc we're bored today, not bc we think any of this has any import, right? juatchecking

I love watching the left eat it's own children .. kind of like .. rats.

Who are these “Caucasians” she speaks of?

Just ignore the crybabies on social media. Outside of this echo chamber, no one really gives a fuck.

And just when I thought you made sense....

Little mermaid. 007. Nothing from the media

There are only 2 genders.

muh scary white people

Don’t apologize. The mob are idiots. Don’t give them a win.

Mary Jane, Ariel, and the next 007 are now black women. Y’all are running out of things to complain about 😂

Phew! I'm so glad she came out with this. I didn't sleep a wink last night!

I can't stand her. She has been incredibly problematic for a long time. Super arrogant to boot.

she basically just reworded her original statement.... clownery, absolute clownery

I keep wondering...if she thinks she can play any character, WHY does she keep playing the same one?

She used to term 'political correctness.'

nycsouthpaw Yeah...that didnt help

Not good that in her statement she chooses to use the word 'Caucasian' instead of 'white'. This follow-up statement doesn't really help. At all.

Let me laugh

She was 100% correct and needs to stick to her views on this issue. Don’t let the nutjobs make you backpedal! ❤️❤️👊

When you leave Sodom and Gomorrah, you are to NOT LOOK BACK 'lest you turn to salt. Now you can sprinkle her on fries. Sad.

What a stupid statement. Never given into the mob.

Never apologize to these fools

What. What happened, what did she say?

Stop catering to deranged people. You are an actor. Actors act. They play someone who they are not

nycsouthpaw

🖕🏿

Is that a tree talking? 🌲

nycsouthpaw I have a feeling that she's not very good at words.

scarlett girl can you be more white

Girl, bye

nycsouthpaw Can we be mad that she’s a poor actress, too?

nycsouthpaw There's too many things going on right now...For me to care.

I thought Rub&Tug had already been canceled? Am I wrong? Cause if I'm wrong, what the fuck.

LOL cancelblackwidow

Sweetie, I love you but like maybe read the room ...

Yeah not buying this. She said what she said and did because that's how she feels. Suddenly backpedaling isn't going to fly.

'I recognize that I don't live in reality' - ScarJo

She is telling the truth..the bigotry and racism is the cancer of this nation. 90%of the white people are still very Racist.

Not only that Scarlett, but there’s a preference for your type in Hollywood, and that’s why what you previously said sucks.

Marvel's PR Team:

No she doesnt. She's just giving a half assed apology so marvel doesnt cancel her movie. She would not have said what she said if she really understood the plight of marginalized people

Is true though because you know how Niel Patrick Harris (a gay man) played straight men in shows like how I met your mother? He absolutely killed it. That's what acting is and you guys don't know the first thing about it.

This is absolute truth. When I was in Hollywood in the day & it hasn't changed very much, they laughed at me & told me the roles I wanted 2 play were reserved for White women. It is the industry practice to engage in White set-asides no matter the genre. I admire her honesty.

Apologizing for getting called out I see

Just pump out your mediocre black widow movie and go

“I recognize that my white/straight/cis sense of entitlement will never ever be more important than that Marvel money so I apologize despite not having done any research or self-reflection whatsoever.”

But she doesn’t, other wise she wouldn’t be stealing all these roles from PoC. Lol. She didn’t even apologize.

ScarJo’s uncritical use of the word “Caucasian” is a bad sign.

Girl please!

What does CIS means? Excuse my stupidity

Off topic, her make up is horrendous in this photo

Control “Z”

Marvel before they called her up:

A capitalist system with entitled elite shills saying whatever to sell you junk?!?

Nah ScarJo keep that same energy from your interview cause Black Widow seats will be empty sis

Sat'down b!tch

PR team working all nighters

literally the only reason she mentioned « politically correct casting » is because she already knew what people thought of her taking on roles that don’t belong to her and now suddenly she « realizes » bitch realize what that people were right the first time ?

Wow, she just said the same thing again and pretended it was more enlightened this time.

thank god i BARELY watch any superhero movies....much less Marvel/Avengers tripe

Keep it.

“Apologize....but then say it again with new words”

Money talks.

She just doubled down on her original statement. Good luck with that Black Widow movie gurl.

Bye trick.

PR clean up on express shipping

Please just stop talking

She should stop doing these interviews if she’s just gonna put her foot in her mouth every time

Nah girl, you we’re right the first time. It’s called ACTING.

Everyone reading this statement

Lit rally a mess luv x

This is overused (by me) but frankly, sounds about white.

Scar Jo has been canceled to me since she was cast in Lucy. She clearly doesn’t care about diversity in media or else she wouldn’t accept these roles and would use her privilege to uplift marginalized populations. But nah. Instead she compared trans people trees

People still love to burn witches

Now shut up. No more interviews.

She can keep that. I won't be watching her movies.

The apology tour begins......

HA!! Ok.

Really just... Ugh.

Please. She's contradicting herself. 'I recognize there are differences in opportunity and we should fight to fix that' but art should also be exempt from political correctness, part of which is moving art away from sexist and racist tropes. Backpedal away, girl.

Are you going to cover the straight men that have been cast as gay men or transgender. Bash them too. Taron Egerton, Rami Malek and Jake Gyllenhaal should apologise for taking roles that belong to other.

Oh, ScarJo.

“I personally feel that, in an ideal world, any actor should be able to play anybody and Art, in all forms, should be immune to political correctness. “ Isn’t particularly better sis.

🤫

She needs to apologize to trees!

No you don't

LOL

THATS RIGHT PR. FIX IT

The term cis gender is offensive and a dis at biological woman

Hollywood is such a miserable industry. She says something profoundly correct and then backs off and apologizes because some woke leftists get offended.

Scarlett Johansson is the best , her haters are bunch of trolls... Queen 😍😍...

The world is stupid. Actors now have to play themselves in every movie, or else it is offensive. Stop choosing to view the world through the lens of who gets to be the most offended all the time, and just live life. If someone gets offended, let it be their problem.

scarlett johansson needs to stop “claiming” anything

Probably. The real journalism is dead.

lol

Sure

Because she has taken roles confirming those comments soooo 🤷🏻‍♀️

She’s just upset that she couldn’t play Groot.

What’s the problem? She was right 🙄

An actress saying she should be able to play any role is what passes for 'controversial' nowadays? In my time that'd be called 'common sense'.

What a surprise.

Makes more sense. Figured there was more to the story.

I gotta say when I first saw I thought it was likely out of context.....

Blame the media when you say some problematic shit, right?

“I personally feel that, in an ideal world, any actor should be able to play anybody and Art, in all forms, should be immune to political correctness. That is the point I was making, albeit didn’t come across that way.” That’s not much different from the original report.

She’s right.

Girl bye, in the words of maya Angelou, “ When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”

Scarlett Johansson, Rethink ThisScarlett Johansson’s been subjected to a fair amount of criticism over a few roles she’s agreed to take on. There was, for instance, the uproar over her casting as Major Mira Killian in 2017&39;s Ghost in the Shell, as her character was based off a Japanese manga. More recently, Johansson dropped out of the (ostensibly cancelled) film Rub & Tug, after she received criticism over being cast as a trans man. Women: attacking the pretty girl for being cute/talented. Typical. You guys must have been furious about Eddie Redmayne and Jeffrey Tambour playing trans people... it is it just Scarlett I'm conflicted. Can't transpeople play straight and straight play trans? Why not broaden the field for every good actor regardless of gender or gender-fluidity?
