I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.
My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.
Perhaps you should all listen to the podcast The Witch Hunt of JK Rowling before you start cancelling another person without listening to them properly.
Oh trust me, I have listened to everything she’s put out wanting to give her the benefit of the doubt and that is why I don’t support her anymore. She has made a total ass of herself, literally tweeted Merry TERFmas and comparing trans people to Death Eaters, her own wizard Nazi stand-ins. She can make all the excuses she wants but she just doubles down on being hateful and I’m done with her.
“Don’t judge her by her words and actions, let this kiss-ass PR piece podcast do it for you!”
I have listened to her. That’s why I don’t like her, she’s a moron.
I listened to this, excited to perhaps hear perspective from an old favourite author. It was incredibly biased, and there was only a brief section where two trans people talked, and J.K. Didn’t converse with them at all.
Also, not that I’m not impressed by the leader of the podcast leaving a hateful cult she grew up in, but she is perhaps not the most unbiased person to have hosted this podcast.
