Rose McGowan was fired by her agent for criticizing Hollywood sexismOn June 17, McGowan tweeted a casting note for Adam Sandler’s next film. It told actresses to wear a “form-fitting tank that shows off cleavage.” A week later she tweeted she’d been fired. Worse though, is that few have spoken up in her defense. Only The Princess Diaries’ Heather Matarazzo defended her publicly.
I think it’s because of things like this that people are afraid to speak up about anything. Especially when it comes to a person’s job, the minute you say anything other than the absolute best about it, you’re tanked. I once had a boss get mad at me for thinking the wrong thing. THINKING THE WRONG THING. I understand that social media is out in the public, but we need an outlet. Sending out the thought police is some scary 1984 shit.
