“I’m sorry, I don’t understand the correlation or why me specifically.”

I mean

yeah O_o

did they ask everyone this or just her

[ginainabottle]

“You’re asking me that?” she responded during the jury press conference today. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand the correlation or why me specifically.”

I'm glad she said that bc people continue to treat that type of question as natural/mundane when the only point of those is to make women uncomfortable by assigning them some sort of obligation over the mistakes of men, including those they might not even know.

Yeah. I think Brie specifically as well, who has been the subject of years of global harassment, has valid reasons to not want to put herself in the crosshairs of the Deppford wives

Women always have to bear the responsibility to comment about this stuff and it's so unfair

[trekkiepetrelli]

regarding the THR roundtable when they were asked about pay, Amy Adams immediately starting saying along the lines of 'they always ask us this question and put us in this awkward position when they should be asking the producers these questions' i was so proud of her for that bc it's so spot on. the men are NEVER asked the questions that need answers

Pretty cheap from variety

They tried to set Brie Larson up twice and she didn’t take the bait either time. Nice to see these are the caliber of journalists that get access to Cannes. pic.twitter.com/OcFy3hb26A

omg she's so good i would have crumbled so bad like wtf do i SAY

[trekkiepetrelli]

she's experienced in dealing with major assholes who want her to slip up

[vanhrh]

Variety stays messy. Don't forget how they also instigated the DWD interview circuit too.

[sandstorm]

Ah yes, Cannes the yearly reminder of how the French view crimes against women - badly.

Brie remains one of the few people who has convictions and stands by them.

i understand why she evaded the best she could. saying "no" outright would just open the floodgates to the disgusting fans he still has.
