Life comes at you fast and we’ve got a lot to discuss this week, people, so #letsgo.
Even in Hollywood, the land of make believe, people are getting real about racism.
Nathan is that cutie many viewers are pulling for to win back Issa’s heart on that show, but in real life Sampson is a passionate activist who was beaten with a baton and shot by rubber bullets during a recent demonstration in Los Angeles.
Also this week, Jenny Slate and Kristen Bell announced that they were leaving their roles on animated series to make way for actresses of color.
Slate said she was stepping aside from voicing a mixed-race character on Netflix’s “Big Mouth” because “Black characters on an animated show should be played by Black people,” and Bell dipped out of a mixed-race character role on “Central Park” on Apple TV+, citing “a lack of awareness of my pervasive privilege.”
