Power of the dog is the most OVERRATED film i seen in a long time…boring movie💩
Jane Campion is so rude and entitled…. She is a legend in her own mind!
As Ricky Gervais said: “get your award, thank your God and your agent and then eff off!!!”
If she had just done that she wouldn’t need to be apologising 😓
That was a calculated move you made so nobody is gonna take your dusty a&& appology.
white women Are Not Black Women's allies………………
Conscious Black Men Are!!!⚫🗿
Maybe she should also apologise to men for her stereotyping insults
Too little, too late….the woke mob always eats its own. They smell fresh blood and Campion is going to be eaten alive.
She made a mistake, it was a bad remark, she Apologized…lets move on.
People of color especially those that are successful often experience back handed compliments…micro aggressions…”shady jokes”…etc.. whatever she meant the comments were insulting
😆 the truth hurts Bees!!! 😆
This is just another controversy at a Hollywood awards show. The Liberals in Hollywood are ruining their brand. I have decided to tune out all of them be it the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes .the Grammys etc. These events are constantly losing viewership. The remote control is a beautiful thing.
Campion definitely a racist !!!!
Wow, Jane showed everyone her true colours. What a nasty woman she is
Yt women you really need to check yourselves. I don't know anymore with y'all. Imagine comparing yourself to people who won so many titles at Wimbledon they should be charging everybody rent. Peak White Feminism. Just total peak baloney
Why did everyone laugh 😳
A film director is a master of planning & detail! She planned that speech, thought it was clever & did NOT see what was wrong with it until it was humiliatingly pointed out to her! Why would you use an opportunity where you are being lauded to bring up two iconic black women, just to publicly diminish their accomplishments? She's a hater and an ungracious woman!! Imagine working for her!!
and she is who . . .?
I’m sorry but she has no humility, an extreme ego and she is just plain rude and the only reason she's apologising is because she knows that this could affect her in some way.
Who gives a sh*t? 🙄 There is a war going on in Ukraine … Also, Serena is a graceless, classless brat when it comes to losing matches and pitches a hissy-fit that ruins it for the winner 🤣 Venus deserves a movie … Serena deserves a dunce cap ☝🏻
As a black person, I was not surprised at her comments or her apology. As I have learned over time is the bigotry of liberals runs deep and sometimes slips out. That smiling in your face should only be trusted so far. Wall off your emotional self, even though you have to deal with them because that is where the money is.
She’s creepy asf! Nobody has teeth that white!
ANybody notice the new censoring software?
****SATAN REMAINS SOOO EXTREMELY
JEALOUS & ENVIOUS OF US MELINATED
PPL**
She didn’t say she was more oppressed
Nor did she “tear them down”
An innocent playful quip
Who are you two blabbers to judge?
What she said was foolish, but it’s even more foolish to completely cancel her and ruin her film career over a careless comment. This world is way to sensitive. Learn how to forgive.
No, so called blacks folk can't stop racism. Our only hope is to build our own united nation. What's crazy is so called others are offended by such thought, Its totally evident. Not peak white feminism, evil racism is what it is.
😂 this kind of sensitivity is ridiculous. She made goof. She wasn’t trying to offend. Get a grip
