Trying hard to ruin her career


Calling Hollywood execs stupid and scared.

😂 Yeah, I've seen better career moves!

The “Insecure” showrunner and “American Fiction” and “Barbie” actress told Time magazine that projects are seemingly only being greenlit for maximum profits and not artistry.

Duh. It's a business. Filmmakers enjoy making movies; studios exist to make money. Y'know, for all those investors.

Agreed. But if they were only being greenlit for maximum profits, there wouldn’t be so many woke (and going broke) projects coming out.

What has Issa been watching??
I know for me
when I turn the TV on, every newscast is extremely diverse. Just about every single commercial, very diverse. Awards ceremonies
diverse. TV shows, movies, game shows
.

It’s like the pendulum was slammed completely to the opposite side of where it was, and the people who should be complaining now are not black people. Maybe Asians still
maybe Latinos, Middle Eastern, etc
..

Stop playing the victim card, Issa. It’s played out. Your representation is omnipresent, no longer a “minority”. Maybe you just lack bankable talent.

The only color Hollywood executives see
is green.
