The backlash was immediate. Some of her supporters withdrew their support, stating that racism should not be tolerated. Others urged her to apologize and reflect on her words. In her hour-long interview with CNN (viaThe Hollywood Reporter), she replied to these allegations by saying,
I cannot renounce a nomination because what I have done is a job and what is being valued is my acting work. And I cannot renounce a nomination either because I have not committed any crime nor have I harmed anyone, I am not a racist, nor am I anything that all these people have taken it upon themselves to attempt to make others believe that I am.
In the same interview, she defended herself by trying to prove that she was not racist or Islamophobic. She also said that she nevercalled Selena Gomez a “rich rat.”Toward the end of the interview, she implied that the timing of these comments surfacing was convenient. She said,
They have dedicated themselves to searching, to put together all the things that I had said at a time that I had written —most of which are false … most of them I don’t even recognize that I wrote them.
The timing does seem suspicious but that’s the consequence of the entertainment industry. Fans will find the good and the bad things about celebrities’ past. Either way, this situation has created uncertainty about her future projects. While some fans defend her, the damage to her reputation is already done.
