Even if she thinks about it she still won't give a shit because that's how people born with a silver spoon in their mouth are.

She’s such a sourpuss. I miss Carrie Fisher

I feel like John talks a little bit about his experiences and schooling in the most recent Hot Ones post

Her answers in that little blurb make such little sense that it seems like a lot of context is missing from previous sentencesX like she’s obviously clueless, but it seems like the conversation was about confidence as an actor?

if you go to the article, the lead in to the privilege discussion was the interviewer asking if her background--the privilege in her family connections, boarding school--help her feel more confident navigating the new/uncomfortable/posh/entertainment circles she has to now that she's famous and more under a microscope.

what she said is still stupid and ignorant but since she has so many issues with severe anxiety i imagine she might have been thinking along the lines of "no i'm not comfortable/confident in any of those spaces because of my anxiety" or whatever. i mean, even if that is it, she totally missed the point of the question i'm sure because she's never actually thought about it.

yeah, it was brought up specifically in relation to the ease of acclimating to fame (which I thought was a reach but okay)
