Co-Stars CRINGE After Actress Julie Delpy Says She Wishes She Was Black #IND

I do think this is the time it permeates it just allows people to do whatever they want including this white actress her name is Julie delpi she has a wish it's not going to come true but she can still dream a girl can dream can't she she wants to know what it's like to be African-American an actress in Hollywood of color so she can complain listen few years ago I said something like that about like the academy being very white male which is the reality and I was I was I was like slashed to Pieces by the media and stuff but it's interesting that women can't can't can't talk like actually like I I sometimes wish I was African-American you know because I think at least people don't bash them afterwards when they they say something you know about a reality which is like you know we live in a xenophobic environment not just the the you know not just the academy obviously just the entire world you know but like uh it's very hard for a woman to to open it I think even I think I think it's probably the hardest to be a woman because feminists is probably something that people hate above all like I don't think it's nothing worse than being a woman in this business I really believe it's there's nothing worth actually in America because in France it's fun I don't is there an agent a PR person who could have perhaps held up a sign that said girl shut up zip it and I want to put up the pictures I tell you more about this because you see this is a resurfaced January 24 2016 clip showing the actress Julie delpy saying she wishes she were African-American as weener dog co-star Kieran culen cringes you don't see his face do you very bright very smart I'm not part you're not about to posterize me is what he's really saying okay I'm just put my head down and let her do what she ready do suicide the actress made the comment as she lamented there was nothing worse than being a woman in the entertainment industry while promoting the 2016 Film Festival alongside Danny DeVito who I won't use the four-letter word but he's saiding what the is you talking about okay literally everyone is looking at her and trying to communicate telepathically like just shut up just stop talking like we right before lunch and this is what you getting ready to say yeah she didn't need to say any of it really I mean it it was it was kind of like it seemed to me like all of it was like you didn't even need it to go there she could have even just like talked about her own struggles and maybe some of the things that she's personally overcome and that would that would have been fine because everybody has personal struggles everybody has challenges especially if you're going to be successful at any type of level and women do face challenges in this country and she she does have challenges and we agree on that yeah apparently apparently more than more than uh more than she may be ready for it but yeah that was just kind of silly that that was Goofy it's goofy it's awkward I don't have a full frontal of Danny DeVito but I can tell you his eyes looking at her were telling her the eyes were telling her shut the up shut up she been W to say that for years yes she looked awkward like she was receiving a signal but not fully translating it he wanted her to shut her mouth okay enough with the Larry David routine and perhaps it's a skid I don't know okay it looks like something from a show but it's real with Millions watching and many people benefiting from this program called indisputable we just need 1% of the viewers to become a paid member so we can continue to bring this content to you now back to the show after the resurface clip started trending on social media several fans took to the comments to express their disappointment in the two days imp parar I just saw Julie delp's entire statements and it's worse than I thought one user wrote on Twitter to really just erased the struggles that black women face every day page six with the reporting the Before Sunrise star previously apologized in a statement to Entertainment Weekly days after making the controversial comment it read very sorry for how I expressed myself it was never meant to diminish the Injustice done to African-American artists or to any other people that struggle for equal opportunities and rights on the contrary all I was trying to do is to address the issues of inequality of opportunity in the industry for women as well as I am a woman I never intended to underestimate anyone else's struggle well you did you did everything you did not intend is exactly what you did I think you maybe did intend some of it and I think after that a group of people and I picture delegation of people civil rights types and maybe a Wayan's brother or two sat her down and said you can't say that okay yeah here's what you put out and don't don't do another interview just put it out statement because we can't be trusted you really don't get it maybe DL hugley was part of this I that's just in my mind what I'm thinking to get her all the way together her analysis done by Sky News on the Academy Awards in all four acting categories plus directing screenwriting only 61 Oscar wins have been for people from ethnically diverse backgrounds you can see change with almost half of these wins being in the last decade following Ash Oscar so white you see so we're not just going to bring you the statements we've done research we're going to give some of the data 61 sounds like a lot no not when you look at the history of the academy it's peanuts minuscule ethnically diverse too it's it runs the gamut what don't you understand seven of these winners have received more than one director Alejandro Gonzalez in ouru has Three director an Lee actor Anthony Quinn actor Denzel Washington director Alonso Kiran actor marala Ali and director bong Jun ho have two there's your statistics there it is 96 years of Academy Award winners there have only been ever three women to win the award for best director Chloe Chow for nomadland 2021 was also the first woman from an ethnically diverse background to win that award the late Sydney potier first black man to win the Oscar for leading actor for L of the field in 1964 35 years after the awards began the second Denzel for training day 40 years after that [Music] women now this ought to be good well the stats are even more shocking there's the Beautiful One Hal Berry she won in 2002 she was radiant her role in Monsters ball was Monumental 73 yes she's she just got it going on I think she'll ever lose it no she won't one of one after 73 years of the Oscar she was the first black woman to receive the Oscar for best leading actress and 22 years later she's still one of one that ought to make you sick maybe there shouldn't be an academy if we're supposed to be rewarding great work great talent again is this whole thing of Birthright and what people think is worthy or not lot of great talent and the rainbow of colors but for some reason it took 73 years for it to be recognized and hiy Barry we love you hie the acting category with the most black winners is best supporting actress 10 including recent champ Divine Joy Randol for the holdovers a winner analysis conducted by andscape found there was meaningful impact from the Oscar so white movement back in 2015 as it examined nominations and wins between roles in front of the camera and behind the camera from 2000 to 2020 more data for you the team has just done an excellent job and this is why they're here because they're not just producers not just about pictures and words they're investigators in general behind the camera roles have a much larger winning percentage the nomination percentage the analysis showed for acting only once has there been more than one person of color nominated for best actress in the same year only one person of color has ever won for best actor when they were the so person of color nominated that year you see this do you see what's going on Julie oh Julie andscape reports in the decade and a half before Oscars so white there were five years of films for which no person of color won an Oscar in any of the eight Premier categories either in front of the camera or behind it none the last six years are responsible for roughly half of the total number of people of color who were nominated and won on osar since 2000 people of color nominated for behind the scenes work have a relatively High winning percentage the same pattern holds true in the supporting actor and actress category such as that The Talented actors of color are disproportionately cast in supporting roles do you see you have to look at the big picture you can't just present the data you have to analyze it but in the two main acting categories best actress best actor people of color have far lower odds being not nominated and winning and their supporting counterparts with women of color specially under represented among both nominees and winners despite steady gains over the last decade people of color remained underrepresented on nearly every industry employment front in 2022 people of color are less than 2 to1 21.6% of theatrical film leads and less than a proportionate representation among total theatrical film actors 30 6.1% National Partnership for women and families with the data there National Partnership research shows black actresses typically make just 64 cents for every dollar white non-hispanic actors make black women directors and producers make just 68 cents compared to their white non-hispanic men counterparts even though these gaps are within an occupation they are nearly as large as the overall wage gaps for black women black actresses have continuously spoken out against equal pay for decades yet Hollywood continues to lowball them contract after contract and so let's start there Jackson when taji just told the truth she got hit with backlash I felt like she got hit with backlash from everyone including people who look like me she yes she's making money and in some cases a nice sum of money but it's all relative if you choose a certain industry and you make it you have the talent she's got incredible Talent why not compare within that industry what she should be making because she should just shut up and be grateful that she's here at all that's why just be grateful and be quiet that's all it is don't said aable we comfortable that's all that is you know sometimes you got to shake people out of being comfortable so that they can do stuff but I have to say this okay Denzel absolutely deserved that Oscar because I hated his character in that movie oh oh he played that character so good I oh I hated him so much maybe one of the I hate his character now I'm thinking about it but lastly Julie saying that like her experience is worse than a black person's experience honestly would be like me equating my black experience to a dark skinned person as if I'm not light-skinned 6 foot6 and beautiful you know what I'm saying I mean like that you can say that by the way that kind of honestly that nullifies in a lot of ways that nullifies because I'm like a sex symbol to people you know what I mean so but it's true to cut it was just no but but but it's the truth though just in terms of like my experience is not the same as somebody who's dark skinned and and maybe doesn't doesn't look or isn't as tall or whatever you know what I mean like America has a certain perspective a certain standard that's not inclusive of everyone yeah yeah so that that's all I was getting at you know what I'm saying like it's it it would be ridiculous for me to pretend like Myer is the same for you to pretend that you're not sexy get the hell out of here right really you you know what I'm saying you know what I'm saying I mean what I say right have several seats because we're gonna speak the truth on this program doc does and we lead by example right we're going to speak the truth and you're absolutely right that's how crazy it would be okay she said something about it France and I you know she needs to go and I don't usually tell people go back where you came from because I've gotten that too many times I'm standing right here unless I choose to go somewhere else but she needs to go on back to France okay or she needs to get with the program and understand some things I'd love for her to sit with Viola Davis who else could I put her with oh Jennifer Lewis I think I choose her I actually think I choose Jennifer Lewis and let's lock them in a room together so they can get plenty of Education going and you just better listen up it's outrageous I'll give you the last word Jackson I I was less offended by I was just like a watching a car crash again the Danny DeVito I don't know he was looking at her like that was crazy he was look and then and then the other guy was just sitting there like like yeah and because she just she just kept going it was like she she opened the can slowly and she could have just stopped but she just kept peeling it back I'm here now you know what I'm saying like I didn't got this far I can't stop uh yeah that that that was silly a train wreck have to sleep in the bed that she no no ma'am you sit down okay sit down
