On Monday Jane Campion apologizes for her thoughtless comment about Serena and Venus William. After her useless comment about Serena and Venus’s achievement, she faced a lot of backless online.
Jane issued a public apology to Serena and Venus William after getting trolled online. She said, “I made a thoughtless comment equating what I do in the film world with all that Serena and Venus William have achieved. Black women and World-class athletes. The Hollywood reporter published this apology video.
At Critics Choice awards, Jane made a comment about Serena and Venus while she was receiving her honor. She remarked that though they are marvels, they do not play against the guys as she does. At the moment camera captured Serena clapping animatedly. And after seeing the footage people got triggered and started trolling her.
People started tweeting about her remark and many critics criticized her. As per people, she was being racist towards these two black badminton legends.
Issuing the apology, she also stated that William’s sisters have achieved a milestone and they have squared off against men. They have set a new bar for women. That’s why she celebrates them.
However, Jane Campion won the best director award for her “The Power Of The Dog” at the Critics award. She was the only woman director nominated in that category. The other nominated directors were- Thomas Anderson(Licorice Pizza), Kenneth Branagh (Belfast), Guillemaro Del Toro(Nightmare Alley), Steven Spielberg(West Side Story), and Denis Villeneuve(Dune).
The William sisters were attending the function to support the film “King Richard”. In this film, Will Smith portrayed their father, Richard William. Will won the award of best actor for this film. Everyone adored these two legends. They were the sweetheart of the ceremony.
Moreover, Jane’s film “The Power of The Dog” also won the honor of best screenplay. Therefore, William’s sisters and the executive producer of “King Richard” got a standing ovation from the audience while introducing the biography about William’s family. “King Richard” was nominated in four categories.
You guys should note that, after the critics’ choice award, Jane and Willi were dancing on Netflix after the party. So we can be sure about the fact that Jane and Wiliams are on good terms.
Moreover, critics are still angry with Jane and they think Jane is an inspiration for so many people so she should not say these kinds of racial things. Some also tweeted that Jane has gone from the good spotlight to the bad spotlight in just 24 hours.
Well, Serena or Venus has not commented anything about that remark. So we don’t know their stand about it.
