Tatiana Maslany, star of the Disney+ series ‘She-Hulk,’ doesn’t mince words when talking about studio president Bob Iger after his controversial remarks about Hollywood strikers.
Tatiana Maslany shares one thing in common with her character in She-Hulk: when she’s angry, she lets it be known. And this, regardless of the consequences. The actress is particularly involved in the writers’ and actors’ strike which is currently continuing in the United States.
Present at one of the pickets organized in New York in front of the offices of Netflix, the American star attacked Disney CEO Bob Iger, who recently castigated the strikers, believing that their demands were not “reasonable”.
“I have friends who have been struggling for 30 or 40 years and have lost their health insurance because their income is already very low, but the basic salary has gone down again”, protests Tatiana Maslany in remarks reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
About the president of Disney, the actress launches: “I think he’s completely off the mark. Next to the plate with those who ensure that his series see the light of day, those who allow people to see them, who bring him money.”
She continues: “I myself worked for a Disney series and I know how workers are left out, how they are taken advantage of. It’s outrageous that such wealth isn’t fairly shared among those who create the show. The team, the cast, the writers.”
On social networks, many Internet users have welcomed the speech of the actress. Herself employed by Disney, Tatiana Maslany takes a considerable risk by taking a stand against the president of the studio.
“It’s funny because if he wanted to, he could fire her.“
“She is absolutely right. I’m afraid this guy has lost his mind. It’s time for him to retire.”
