NAGPAHAYAG ng paghingi ng kapatawaran si Michelle Rodriguez dahil sa kanyang naipahayag na mga komento para sa mga batang aktor na napapanood sa superhero films.
Gamit ang kanyang Facebook account, ipinaliwanag na mabuti ng aktres ang kanyang intensiyon sa mga naipahayag na komento.
Nagsimulang lumaki ang isyu noong Biyernes nang pabiro siyang tanungin ng TMZ cameraman kung gaganap siya bilang The Green Lantern.
“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” pahayag ng Furious 7 star, 36. “Because of this whole ‘minorities in Hollywood’ thing. It’s so stupid. It’s like, you know, stop stealing all the white people’s superheroes. Make up your own.”
Nagbigay ng komento si Michelle matapos itakda ang ilang aktor katulad nina Michael B. Jordan bilang Human Torch sa Fantastic Four at Chadwick Boseman, na pumirma sa multi-movie deal.
“I stuck my foot in my mouth -- once again,” pahayag niya. “I have a tendency to like, you know, speak without a filter. Sorry about that. What I really meant was... there’s a language, and the language that you speak in Hollywood is a successful franchise. I think that there are many cultures in Hollywood that are not white, and can come up with their own mythology.”
“It doesn’t matter what culture you come from,” sambit ni Michelle. “I’m just saying that instead of trying to turn a girl character into a guy or instead of trying to turn a white character into a black character or a Latin character, I think that people should stop being lazy and, you know, that people should actually make an effort in Hollywood to develop their own mythology.” - Yahoo News/Celebrity
