- I debated whether to post this because I don't like giving people who push hate attention but this is entertainment news. So, apparently Edy Ganem, the actress who is playing Marisol on 9-1-1 reposted on her Instagram story a transphobic "joke" that mocks trans athletes. Since it was in her story, it's since disappeared as apposed to if she had simply posted it.
Now that 9-1-1 has moved to ABC, I hope the executives over there will look into this and let her go from her guest/recurring role. Since she doesn't play a main character it would be easy to get rid of her character by writing her out of the upcoming 7th season. But I doubt anything will happen with her getting fired since she's already such a C-grade/irrelevant actress that they probably don't think she's worth getting rid of. The 9-1-1 franchise has a very large LGBTQ+ fan base and that should be taken into consideration when looking into this. It's disappointing what the actress posted but not unexpected because hate is everywhere. But if you're silent about hate then you're enabling it.
- The Little Mermaid is the #1 movie and has made $163.5 million worldwide at the box office. It's currently listed as the fifth-highest Memorial Day weekend opening of all time. I'm glad the movie is doing very well especially since there was a racist backlash when it was announced that actress Haile Bailey was cast as Ariel. I can't wait to see this movie.
