Allie Trimm speaks out against Marc Platt’s intimidation tactics

She directly calls out the producer of ‘WICKED’, Marc Platt, who actively uses his position of power to silence anti-genocide sentiment, citing multiple instances where her employment was threatened because of her view on the ongoing Middle East conflict

(Note: I’m posting this, not to litigate the actual conflict itself, but to highlight that one of the most powerful producers in entertainment is engaging in this alleged behavior)

In order to have an anti-genocide sentiment, there needs to be a genocide. And there isn't. And as long as people yell "free Palestine" while murdering Jews, Jews will be afraid to be around the people yelling it.

This is a very bold generalization and, frankly, infantilization of Jewish people who are also saying “Free Palestine.” Judaism is not a monolith and what’s playing out in Gaza is a genocide by any legal, technical, or spiritual terms we want to define it by.

What happened to Allie Trimm at Wicked is deliberate oppression of personal views outside the workplace where other topics are clearly not forbidden to speak out on. Good for her for not only calling it out, but pointing directly to the man at the top making those calls.

THIS is exactly what I hope the conversation of the thread will be revolving around. As I mentioned, this thread is not intended to be a litigation of the actual ongoing conflict itself

Producers certainly have a right to hire whomever they like for whatever reason they like. But once somebody is employed and on contract, it is wildly inappropriate to attempt to censor them outside of the workplace as an ongoing condition of their employment. And Trimm seems to be implying she was told that a reason would be created to terminate her, which flies in the face of the conditions for termination under Equity's contracts which generally only allow termination for cause.

Is he intimidating them because he doesn’t want a scandal from one of the wicked leads at risk of putting the show in peril? I think it’s more of a business move than a personal thing. Look at what’s happened with Ed Sheeran’s tour. Perfect case in point.

Stop speaking on behalf of all Jews. It's disgusting.
