Another day, another celebrity going off the deep end on Twitter.
Zachary Leeman reports that "Actress and Democrat activist Alyssa Milano sent out what was arguably the most bizarre tweet on International Women’s Day." Bizarre? Sure. But let's not forget "nonsensical," and for those who are concerned with such matters, "valor-stealing from the genuinely intersectional."
That's a thing, or at least it is now.
The former Charmed star tweeted, in full, "I’m trans. I’m a person of color. I’m an immigrant. I’m a lesbian. I’m a gay man. I’m the disabled. I’m everything. And so are you, Kirk. Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know or understand. No one wants to hurt you. We are all just looking for our happily ever after."
I suspect some will find it more easily than others.
It shouldn't require saying, but Milano is not actually the six-way winner of the Intersectional Victimhood Olympics. She's an extremely attractive woman with a successful career in an industry more cutthroat than most. If Milano has felt the Boot of Oppression at any time in the last 20 years, it was probably Gucci and she was probably wearing it.
I'm just old enough to remember when actors, at least the most-loved ones, were entertainers. That is, they had a public persona which conformed to their on-screen presence, and they maintained that persona 100% while in public.
Cary Grant never stopped being Archibald Alec Leach in private, but he was always Cary Grant on the screen, big or small. Johnny Carson was a cold, shy man in real life, but five nights a week on The Tonight Show, he was unflappable and boisterously, boyishly charming. Frank Sinatra was, in Moe Greene's famous phrasing, banging cocktail waitresses two at a time, but on stage, he was the world's foremost interpreter of romantic love songs.
I could go on, but you get the idea: Entertainers always tried to appear larger than life, even when they weren't.
Today's actors, by and large, are not entertainers. They still seem larger than life in their movies and TV shows, but after-hours they whip out their phones and pull up Twitter to make very public demonstrations of what small, really very tiny people they are.
Perhaps this is more honest than how the stars of old behaved, but for audiences, it's a lot less fun.
She should win a Razzie for most annoying Hollywood activist.
Yup. I will be crying (with laughter) into my popcorn!
But it isn't a bum rap when you consider it is coming from her ultra-leftist peers. We understand rhetorical devices ("Ich bin ein Berliner") but the attack monkeys from her corner have no logical brain matter to process the concept. She deserves anything thrown at her. If you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.
Is she still starring soft porno movies?
She even looks evil.
“Alyssa Milano Apologizes for Claiming to Be a Trans Gay Disabled Immigrant Lesbian of Color”
has she apologized yet for being a barking-mad lunatic nutjob?
Just one more insane leftist entertainer. E entertainers should entertain not try to educate.
Climb back under your rock Miss Morono
Think she meant to say they were all looking for their happy ending.
Some people should not be allowed to reproduce, she is one!
She’s sexist and racist.
Too late, she had two children.
Well.... she got the disabled right..
She manages to piss off 6 different victim’m rights groups in one sentence.
Must be some kind of record....................She couldn’t fit in abortion, though, so she missed one................
I wish they would name her in a defamation suit for her comments regarding the boys from that school. She needs to pay a price for her actions and words on that one
