Georgia governor Brian Kemp dismissed calls for a boycott of the state on Saturday following the passage of a law that outlaws abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
Kemp signed Georgia's heartbeat bill into law on May 7, prompting many celebrities to rail against the measure on social media and in interviews.
Actress Alyssa Milano told BuzzFeed News that she would leave the Netflix show Insatiable if the production chooses to continue filming in Georgia.
“I have to be there for another month but you can be sure I will fight tooth and nail to move Insatiable to a state that will protect our rights. And if it doesn’t move to another state, I will not be able to return to the show if we are blessed with a third season. This is my leverage. I will use it for the betterment of society and our great country," Milano told BuzzFeed via email.
Milano was one of over 50 actors who signed a letter addressed to Kemp and Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston. Others who signed their names to the letter include Jessica Chastain, Amy Schumer, Brie Larsen, Mark Ruffalo, Alec Baldwin and Don Cheadle.
"As actors, our work often brings us to Georgia. We've always found your state to be populated with friendly and caring people. We've found the hotels in which we stay and the restaurants in which we dine while filming there to be comfortable and of a high quality. We've been glad to bring billions of dollars in revenue to support Georgia's schools, parks and communities," the letter says in part. "But we cannot in good conscience continue to recommend our industry remains in Georgia if H.B. 481 becomes law."

Have no fear. They will come running as soon as the next job is offered.
A couple of film directors are quietly continuing with their filming in Georgia, Pro-Life law or not. The studio rental fees are just so much lower than they usually are in California. A grassy mountainside, or a twisty grove of aged timber looks about the same in either state.
Milano and the the rest of the Hollywierd perverts staying out of Georgia sounds good to this Georgian.
I had asked then candidate Kemp about this situation, and was not satisfied with an answer that was short on specifics. I have since moved out of Georgia, but appreciate his not cowtowing to coastal lefties trying to dictate terms backed with economic extortion.
Exactly.. remember, these are the same clowns who promised to leave the US when Trump was elected.
Spewage from the mouths of liberal Hollyweirdlings should not be taken seriously. And.. I find completely laughable the comment that they bring in billion$ in revenue.
“Have no fear. They will come running as soon as the next job is offered.”
Nothing so desperate as an ACTOR OUT OF WORK...
Stand strong, Georgia! Hollywood has no morals and continues to corrupt the nation with its filth.
Actress Alyssa Milano told BuzzFeed News that she would leave the Netflix show Insatiable if the production chooses to continue filming in Georgia.
Do her one better. Greet her at the airport and forcefully kick her ass out of the state
And that hasn't changed.
So in reality, you're just PO'd that they won't kill babies any more.
please tell these ‘celebrities’ “Georgia doesn’t want you and you filthy evil murderous liberal agenda here- do us a favor and refrain from ever visiting- We’ll survive without your presence just fine- seeings how hardly anyone knows who you are anyways- thanks for playin!”
More like Z list actors.
I moved home to TX after retiring but that DUMB-bunny is correct about ONE thing: GA is full of NICE, FRIENDLY people.
Fwiw, I liked Ft Benning/Columbus better than other “Army towns” that I was stationed in. = Certainly much better than Baltimore, MD or Leesville, LA.
I suggest that the Holly-WEIRD crowd stay OUT of GA & the rest of the South. - We don’t need their (TRASHY) kind here.
Yours, TMN78247
Good for him!
I’m sick of our side getting spooked by this shit. I think in Texas a few years ago when we almost voted to protect little girls who need to use bathrooms and showers, one of the reps added up the economic impact if all the threats were carried out and it came out to something like 0.002 percent of our GDP - calling it in the noise would be overstating.
Because being the hypocrites that they are, the folks that actually write the checks to get the shows and movies made, love the wages they pay in those, Right to Work states. Don’t have to abide by union rules if they don’t want to. A little easier on the bank account if you’re not a slave to the union rules of California and New York.
And to this one.
And hopefully, when these folks leave or decide not to ever come back, they can lure all the liberals from the Northeast, Chicago, and any other liberal dump they moved from. They’re as an invasive a species as illegal aliens and locusts. They’re ruining the state and I would love to see them all go the way of the Dodo.
I wonder what Tony Danza thinks of that beyotch now?
Dingbats desperate for attention. Sorry, you are mostly yesterday's news or a "never made it" kind of libtard.
For gawd’s sake, don’t send them to Tennessee.
