odie Turner-Smith calls out Disney for not protecting actors in ‘THE ACOLYTE’ in the face of online harassment.
Call to Action:
- Turner-Smith says Disney did not put their feet down in the wake of racism exhibited towards the show’s cast
- She calls on studios to say this is unacceptable: 'You're not a fan if you do this.'
The context:
- Jodie Turner-Smith played Mother Aniseya in three episodes of ‘The Acolyte’
- Multiple cast members including Amandla Stenberg spoke out about the intense vitriol they experienced even before the show was aired
Looking back: Lucasfilm previously issued statements defending Moses Ingram against racist attacks during the premiere of ‘OBI-WAN KENOBI’ in 2022
Looking ahead:
- Turner-Smith believes a brighter future is possible where “people stop having a stick up their arse about people of color being a part of IPs that were created by white people.”
- She challenges studios to “make a really big statement and just see if any money leaves” noting that people of color make up a large part of buying power in franchises
