Paloma Faith, a singer and actress in shows like Pennyworth and Dangerous Liaisons, watched The Little Mermaid over the weekend and is calling out the storyline.
“As a mother of girls I don’t want my kids to think it’s ok to give up your entire voice and your powers to love a man,” Faith shared in a now-deleted Instagram post that Metro caught. “Wtf is this sh*t. Not what I want to be teaching next gen women at all.”
The premise of The Little Mermaid revolves around a mermaid that wishes to live on land. After falling for Prince Eric, Ariel makes a deal with the sea witch Ursula to use her powers to give her legs but in exchange, she has to give up her voice.
Although Faith was not keen on Ariel pursuing love, she did praise Halle Bailey who portrays the little mermaid.
“I think Halle gives a good performance and it’s great casting,” Faith said.
With Faith receiving major backlash for her comments over The Little Mermaid, many questioned how she was not aware of what the story was about. As it turns out, Faith was seemingly a fan of the animated version.
Back in 2009, Faith tweeted, “When I grow up, I want to be the little mermaid.”
Go jump in a lake
Does she not know this is FICTION?
2024: “Paloma Faith’s acting career dries up, starts onlyfans”
Who?
Anyway, she already gave them her money, so what’s all this blather?
Black widow mermaids?
It's just movie, and not a very good movie at that.
That’s ok, Paloma. I’m sure your daughters will grow-up to be transexual men and you won’t have to worry about it.
What money?
Men give up a lot to be married. Most would say the sacrifices were worth it.
The cost of the movie ticket.
‘Pennyworth’ Star. Kind of an oxymoron.
Disney would have been smarter to rerelease The Song of the South. Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-Ay! Mermaids aren’t black. Neither were the Founding Fathers or Old Yeller.
Would want girls to learn that life is full of gives and takes. What if they learn that sometimes sacrificing has a price that is worth it?
*wouldn’t
Did this vapid idiot even watch either movie?
Arial giving up her voice was clearly portrayed as a mistake from the moment she considered it.
Are “next gen women” so stupid they don’t get that?
