Susan Sarandon Says She Was Banned From Hollywood After Calling for Gaza Ceasefire: I Feel 'Repression and Censorship'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Susan Sarandon is speaking out about her current film and television career, saying that after she spoke out and called for a ceasefire in Gaza that she was unable to take on roles in the United States.

“I was fired by my agency, specifically for marching and speaking out about Gaza, for asking for a ceasefire,” Sarandon said. “It became impossible for me to even be on television. I don’t know lately if it’s changed. I couldn’t do any major film or anything connected with Hollywood. I found agents ultimately in England and in Italy, and I work there. I just did a film in Italy, and I did a play at the Old Vic for a number of months. I know this Italian director that just hired me — he was told not to hire me, so that’s still recently. He didn’t listen, but they had that conversation. Right now, I kind of specialize in tiny films with directors who have never directed, in independent films.”

The “Thelma and Louise” star also said that Spain has more intellectual freedom than the United States.

“In a place where you feel repression and censorship, to see Spain and to see the president and what he says and the support that he’s giving about Gaza, and to have actors like Javier Bardem come forward with such a strong voice, is so important to us in the United States,” she said.

My dear your career was in the crapper before that.

2. Face meet leopard...fafo

Had she not opposed HRC, I might have sympathy for her. But alas. You work towards electing mango Mussolini and you reap what you sow.

3. Susan Sarandon is a piece of shit

I will never forgive her for saying that here is no difference between Hillary and Trump in 2016.

Fuck her. I don't care what she says on any issue.

[NNadir]

4. I admired her as an actress, but as a human being, I have no respect for her at all.

[Blue Owl]

5. Can't spell "Sarandon" without "Don"

[Harker]

6. And 'rando'.

[NNadir]

21. Thanks for the new word. I didn't know that one, but it is definitely applicable.

[Harker]

25. I've heard only a couple of times from my wife's 28 year old son.

I suppose it could be spelled 'rand-o', which I think I prefer.

7. If I had to coose someone to 'deserve' censorship

Well, you know the rest.

[PeaceWave]

8. Stop whining lady. You were in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. You had a LOOONG run.

9. Sarandon wasn't ostracized for her views on Gaza, she became a pariah when she supported Stein over Clinton in 2016.

And saying Hillary's presidency would be "as dangerous as Donald Trump's" didn't endear her to most progressive women. It seems Sarandon failed to appreciate the demographics of her own audience.

32. TY.. That's what I said.. Sarandon is Lying Again.

[Bluetus]

34. Be that as it may, the American taxpayers should not be spending hundreds of billions every year

to help Bibi exterminate the people with whom he has no interest in finding any good faith solutions.

[delisen]

35. Sarandon, Stein, Gabbard are Russian operatives nt

[MIButterfly]

10. She used to be my favorite actress.

I saw her for the first time in the early 80s in a television play with Christopher Walken called "Who am I This Time?" based on a short story by Kurt Konnegut. She really stood out and I thought "who is she?" and was a fan after that. Now, not so much. I know she has every right to express her opinion, but unfortunately her words caused a great deal of damage, in my opinion.

And I hate to say it, but Hollywood is not kind to older actresses. There are probably a lot of older actresses who find it difficult to find work after the age of 40, regardless of their political views.

[Klarkashton]

11. She shows up every now and then to remind everyone

That she is a victim.

[betsuni]

12. Kamala Harris and lots of public figures called for a ceasefire.

Um, I don't think it was that, Susan.

[Cha]

33. It wasn't ... Sarandon is Gaslighting, Again.

Good point.

[mzmolly]

13. Susan "Trump will bring the revolution" Sarandon?

[mercuryblues]

14. Poor little rich girl

Whining her ass off that she can't make any more millions of dollars a year. Fuck her and the orange man she rode in on.

[Demsrule86]

to open your mouth. Go away.

[WhiteTara]

16. womp womp

She begged people to vote for that loathsome creature and should have lost her job then. Who wants to watch that?

[Initech]

[Vinca]

19. Boo fucking hoo. She enabled the Trump genocide in Gaza.

[Prairie Gates]

20. She's such an insufferable nitwit

[hatrack]

23. Wow, some galaxy-shaking self-importance in this report . . .

[lastlib]

24. Susan who??

What WAS that gurgling sound I heard? My guess is some 'D'-list Hollywood schmuck.......

[edhopper]

26. She is lying

she said Hamas rejected the ceasefires because they were terrible deals for them. And then went on to say the rapes and baby killing on Oct 7th were myths.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. This makes me smile
