idk much about her but everything I've heard her say in an interview has been highly relatable and defensible

c/p from my comment in a post about her a few days ago. (It's also weird that we've had two posts about this woman in less than a week)

Margolyes has been accused on several occasions of making racist comments or jokes. During a 2012 appearance The Graham Norton Show, Margolyes said to Will.i.am "I'm just fascinated by you, because, unfortunately, I don't know many black people in show business”, and went on to state that it was surprising that a rapper would be philanthropic. In 2016, Margoyles was accused of making a racist joke which left a black man reportedly "humiliated" at the London Film Convention.

During a 2022 appearance on This Morning, Margolyes responded to one caller to "lose weight", telling another "not to mix with other cripples". In a separate 2022 interview with Radio Times, Margolyes came to the defence of J. K. Rowling, commenting that "There is a spectrum and people can be anywhere along that. There isn't one answer to all these trans questions".Reply

If you've never negotiated for a job you didn't want/need, I highly recommend it, it's the best feeling.
