Emma Watson piti lyhyen puheen viikonloppuna pidetyssä BAFTA-gaalassa, jossa hän kertoi olevansa paikalla ”kaikkien noitien puolesta.” Tämä oli ilmeisesti kannanotto JK Rowlingin väitetystä transfobiasta.
Watson on ennenkin kritisoinut julkisesti kirjailijan sanomisia.
Koomikko-näyttelijä Rebel Wilson esitteli katsojille seuraavin sanoin: ”Hän kutsuu itseään feministiksi, mutta me kaikki tiedämme hänen olevan noita”.
Rowlingin fanit syyttävät nyt Watsonia vihanlietsonnasta. Heidän mukaansa näyttelijätär käytti arvokasta gaalaa hyväkseen.
31-vuotias Watson näytteli Harry Potter -elokuvissa Hermionea.
Alla Watsonin puheen kirvoittamia Twitter-kommentteja.
Without JK Emma would be nowhere and a nobody!!!!

Does this woman ever stop virtue signalling and slagging off the genius who made her?! BAFTA 2022 Film Awards: Emma Watson appears to shade JK Rowling

Huh…. If not for JK Rowling, Emma Watson would still be eating ramen noodles in her closet studio apartment waiting to be rejected from her 1,000th audition before going to wait tables.

BAFTA 2022 Film Awards: Emma Watson appears to shade JK Rowling https://t.co/uVFLrHHTfz what an utter snowflake & 💩 @EmmaWatson is – without JK she’d still be a nobody. She can’t accept JK‘s opinion? Fine. But stop the bad mouthing, it’s ridiculous

Oh Emma. You are as feisty as Rowling.
It's so sad to see this culture war between trans people and women rage when we all know the real winners are men.Emma Watson fans react to ‘subtle shade’ thrown at JK Rowling during Baftas ceremony https://t.co/ShOjWh1ye5

Ahh. How quickly some people forget where they came from and how they got there. @jk_rowling has infinitely more courage than any of you could even hope to have. #ProudSlytherin #IStandWithJKRowling 🐍⚡https://t.co/GQUsFERk1c

Let me just quickly say, yes, Emma Watson roasted Rowling at the BAFTA'S, but pay her enough money and she will play Hermione again. That's just how the industry works.
Nothing against Emma Watson, just some critique on the acting business in general.
