hmmmmmm I get that some things may be out of an actor's hand. It must suck to be associated with something you do not agree with (or have to pretend you don't agree with publictly, I don't know her like that lol)

Sounds like you & I are both anticipating some bad faith reactions. 😶

[zibbydoo324]

I cannot imagine how frustrating that’d be. It’d be like helping to pioneer gps and then 50 years later the tech being used for missile and bomb attacks. What do you do??

Didn't she also support anti-vaxx and homophobic views in the past?

[daredevilwolf]

i think she did

[iznanassi]

yeah i feel like, while she obviously didnt choose this particular association, she painted herself into a corner that made her attractive to the far right. she has no one to blame but herself for that.

Exactly. The views she's aligned herself with are the same ones the Daily Wire has touted but to more visceral extremes. She did her "born again" shtick and the movie itself sounds like something Mel Gibson or Mark Walberg would make. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I mean, if it's faith based it was always going to end up in unsavory hands?

From a review I watched it wasn't a bad story, it was just that Daily Wire was the one that bought the distribution rights to it. If that's the case, and I'm inclined to believe it because none of the insane people do a cameo or anything from what I recall.
