Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett has been slammed by netizens over what many are calling hypocrisy, after reports emerged about her new X-rated film project and her collaboration with Michael Fassbender surfaced the same day she delivered blunt remarks supporting the Me Too movement. Critics online were quick to point out Blanchett's long-running support of Roman Polanski despite the director's controversial history, with some accusing her of selective activism. Others also highlighted how Blanchett has faced scrutiny for not being as vocal in championing female directors compared to fellow Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, who has publicly committed to working with more women filmmakers.

She will be fine. She has her kids Dashiell, Ignatius, Edith and Roman (whom she named after Roman Polanski) to give her company

This won't do anything to her career. But I agree that she should be called out for it.

She should be dragged for agreeing to star with Selena

Yeah, she's wishy-washy to say the least. Terrific actress but definitely isn't consistent in her supposed views. But I will say she strikes me as someone who is mature and open enough to genuinely listen to criticisms and uses them to self-correct. As opposed to rolling her eyes and brushing it off. I don't know her, obviously, so I could be wrong.

The 150 people that liked those twits are the only ones in the world that care

Key word, alleged. That enough gives us her leeway.

Stop blaming women for the crimes of men

Doesn't matter what she says or supports, she'll get bashed

Are these people delusional? Even an A list actress can't change the entire Hollywood system

Sure she could do more herself to work with more female directors, but that's not going to change the sexism within Hollywood instantly, and as a woman she still has a right to call out the obvious

Well there's more than just a director on set. If the director is female that means one (1) more female

What is she supposed to do? Lmao another outrage by twitter warriors who hasn't done anything for the good of the world

At some point we need to stop targeting people and painting them as problematic just for the clicks and the likes. Which, apparently, those tweets didn't even get.

If you don't like cinema because of the poor female representation behind the scenes, stop going to the cinema. Don't expect a female actor to fix the industry and then label her "rotten" when she doesn't. Also, can we stop making women accountable for men's failures?

i wonder why the moment someone is working/associated with selena gomez get immediate drag and hate online.

Pretty sure the comment about naming her son after Polanski was a joke?

Reminds me of Kirsten Dunst dragging a round table of actresses for filth for moaning about there not being enough Women Directors but pointing out none of the actresses complaining are giving first time women directors the chance and opening the door for them.
