As if Charlize needs any help looking fuckable!

Seriously though it’s so fucked up. I recall Sarah had to fight Joss a lot on Buffy too. I’m glad it’s gotten better but you know it still happens. *cough* Euphoria *couch*

Not surprising in the least, I've had my fair share of listening to directors being absolute assholes about actresses. And the more pathetic thing is it's not even about making the woman look more attractive, it's simply a power play to let them know they're meat and everyone's there to consume them as they wish.

Men are a fucking mistake.

They definitely sexified the shit out of her in The Devil’s Advocate.

Omg that was her in Devil's advocate???? I thought it was Dina Meyer of Starship Troopers fame for years.

Yup! I had never seen a woman so beautiful 🥹

I'm going to assume this was Woody Allen but I don't have proof or anything.

I absolutely understand why they wouldn't but I wish they would name and shame these men when sharing stories like this. it's so frustrating to know most men will never face consequences for their actions.
