Manny Jacinto’s lines cut from Top Gun. Simone Ashley reduced to a cameo in F1. Tracy Ifeachor and the other actresses of color left off The Pitt’s Variety cover.
There’s a pattern in Hollywood of casting actors of color, only to minimize, sideline or exclude their presence.
So when Daphne married she was a basset,Penelope is a bridgerton, Francesca is a stirling,but Kate is still Sharma even though she is Viscountess, lady of the household, literally titled Lady Bridgerton? It’s such a small thing but these “small things” keep happening ALL THE TIME
I applaud actors of color carving a path for themselves in the industry. It shouldn’t have to be up to them, but it’s inspiring to see they don’t allow racism to dictate their careers.
Relevant Manny Jacinto interview, after learning Simone Ashley’s role was cut down on F1.
“Simone Ashley may have been left on the cutting room floor for F1: The Movie, but that didn’t stop her from making a bold statement at the London premiere—and frankly, her absence from the final cut feels like the film’s loss.”
Pra não falar que é mentira, vídeo da taylor levantando rapidão depois de champagne problems provavelmente pq viu a movimentação mais cedo do público pra falarem o nome da Ana nessa parte.
Season 2 of Bridgerton remains the only season that didn’t receive a promotional photoshoot or magazine cover featuring their leads, Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey.

As some people were doubting she ever had an actual role in the project, this is the director confirming that indeed she had a storyline. Ultimately, it’s very disappointing to see another actor of color having their role reduced or cut from major blockbusters.
so Taylor let Joe be dragged through the mud when his biggest crime was being depressed and not wanting to get married… while writing a bunch of songs about Matty, the racist dude swifties pretend she never dated
