Will Ferrell cried after visiting a Texas restaurant. Here's why.
San Antonio Express News ^ | By Rhyma Castillo, Staff writer

After a tough night of filming in Texas, Will Ferrell broke down in tears while filming alongside his friend Harper Steele for their new Netflix documentary, "Will & Harper."

The documentary, which dropped Sept. 27 on Netflix, features longtime "Saturday Night Live" pals Ferrell and Steele as they travel across the country to reintroduce Steele to America after she came out as a trans woman.

The pair visited Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo to compete in the restaurant's famed 72-ounce steak eating contest, for which the competitors were placed on a stage in front of a gathering audience. As more people began to crowd around the duo to take photos, Ferrell said he began to feel uncomfortable.

"As much as I’ve been in a fishbowl in various times in my life," he said while in the restaurant, "this trumps all of it."

In a clip shared to Facebook in March 2023 while Ferrell and Steele were filming, restaurant workers seemed to give the duo a warm welcome and addressed Steele using her correct pronouns.

According to the film, however, restaurant patrons and TikTok users didn't extend the same Southern kindness. The crowd groaned and went silent when Steele and Ferrell raised a toast to trans rights in an unaired scene, and after the duo left the restaurant, the film depicted a series of transphobic social media posts directed at Steele. The two discussed the ordeal in the car the following day.

"The room started to feel very... wrong to me," Steele said. "I was feeling a little like my trans-ness was on display, I guess. And suddenly, that sort of made me feel... not great."

Big Texan Steak Ranch did not respond to an Express-News request for comment.

When Ferrell unpacked how he felt about those moments, he began to cry. "The saddest part for me is, uh... I just feel... I feel like I let you down in that moment," he said as Steele comforted him. "I was like, 'Oh, s***, We gotta worry about Harper's safety.' You know, like what... That’s where I just... I feel like I... Yeah."

In an interview with The Independent, Ferrell commented on why he believes people may feel threatened by people who identify as trans.

"Harper is finally... her. She’s finally who she was always meant to be," Ferrell said. "Why is that threatening to you? If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself."

Will Ferrell is the typical deceived liberal furthering Satan's agendas in these Last Days

The apostasy and the Days of Lot are upon us. As prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.

Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this Godless Reprobate Agenda. (For the thread)

Boo hoo.

Capitol police can open the door, you can walk in, behave in a peaceful manner and later be sent to jail. Those people may have felt safe but were not. Liberals “feel unsafe” but are safe.

I’ll reserve my sympathy for some 95% of the J6 people.

Some of us don’t necessarily feel threatened, just extremely offended. What about OUR rights to not put up with their “transgenderism”.

It’s a free country. Do what you want as long as you don’t hurt anyone. But don’t dress up like Napoleon and expect everyone to accept it, and think it’s perfectly normal.

Same goes with trannies.

Guys like John Candy, Gilbert Gottfried and Robin Williams were FAR funnier.

I guarantee you they were treated just fine and politely until they tried to antagonize the crowd by pushing trans politics on them.

If they just came in, ate their meal, and left people alone they would have had zero issues.

How would they expect a religious zealot to be treated if he stood up in the middle of a restaurant in Beverly Hills and started preaching the Gospel, saying nonbelievers are damned to Hell? Poorly, as should be the case. Certain times and places for everything.

“Pay attention to MEEEEEEEEE!”. Then when the crown does pay attention with anything less than complete adoration start crying.

(and addressed Steele using her correct pronouns)

The CORRECT pronouns would be “he and him” because that’s what he and him actually is.

Anything else is a Satanic deception born of a delusional and reprobate mind.

To follow these Satanic deceptions is to accept delusion as “reality” which will happen when God sends Strong Delusion associated with the rise of Satan’s Antichrist.

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
King James Version

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Yep

Delusion and deceiving the masses are a necessary part of Satan’s plan
for the Godless Reprobate New World Order of Daniel 7:23

Feared for his safety? Mocking someone for their stupidity does not make them unsafe.

If you raise a glass to “Trans Rights” what do you expect? Not everyone reads from the same hymnal as Will Ferrell.

"...as they travel across the country to reintroduce Steele to America after she came out as a trans woman."

But then...

"The room started to feel very... wrong to me," Steele said. "I was feeling a little like my trans-ness was on display, I guess. And suddenly, that sort of made me feel... not great."

Wait... I thought your perversion on display was the point of this Hey-Look-At-Me show?
