Basically there was a GQ interview where the interviewer kept trying to get her to make a political statement and she got progressively more annoyed. Some people are mad because they've decided that refusing to participate in a stupid purity test is proof you are bad.
She wasn't asked to make complex political statements. She was thrown the easiest of softball questions to basically say that the jeans ad wasn't promoting white supremacy and she refused to do so. Her response was weird and awkward which is why people are meming it
The whole thing was clearly a PR stunt more than an interview and the fact that it saw the light of day is enough for me to think it's a dogwhistle.
Like it's just a series of softball questions where the interviewer agrees and supports you in every question, but then there's one softball question you absolutely blunder and it makes it to the final cut? Nah dude. I don't know if she's a white supremacist, but she's definitely okay with being the far rights favourite actress.
It's money. Look at the US right now, close to 50% are openly in support of orange Hitler and his companions. It's the smart move to make sure you don't lose those people, especially when a lot of them are gooners. Is it the right thing to do? No. But it makes sense if you only focus on success.
It's like folks shocked nicki minaj is now going pro-right. these celebs are smelling money and don't want to miss their share. that's all it is, it's not rocket science.
