It’s not lost on me that she posts her disbelief and anger that the industry is in denial and not addressing important issues and some of the first responses are tone deaf. Someone is worried that actors will go on strike (which would be performers defending their right for equity and safety) as it could possibly delay re-opening. That’s pretty crummy. Others are salivating over replacements. It completely illuminates her point. People are more concerned about the product than people. These are lives. Real people whose livelihood was cast to winds by their industry and their country when the pandemic hit.
Stage actors all over Instagram are posting how Equity is not responding to them. Their plans aren’t clear and they are muting or kicking members out of Zoom Town Halls who have questions and concerns.
Houston, we have a problem. And it’s bigger than Rudin. Karen clearly says he is just the easy one. The “no-brainer” yet no one is speaking out. She wouldn’t be risking her livelihood if she wasn’t aware of the multitude of people with stories who could speak out. I assume she believes that this is an open secret and it’s being passed over way too easily.
She is naming that people are putting money over people and she is taking a huge risk putting her neck on the line. She has some power and she is asking people to speak up.
It’s easy to just start calling her difficult or crazy or impulsive (she left before) but she’s also human and entitled to change her mind and feelings when ever she likes.
