Actress Kristen Bell, who promoted the so-called "gender wage gap" during the Hillary campaign, intentionally insulting stay-at-home moms, wants all of you in middle-America to know she has every right to call you misogynistic, sexist, racist, bigot, homophobes without any evidence to support her claims.
Apparently she hasn't learned the lesson of Trump's election victory and thinks that the audiences she insuluts will still buy tickets to see her movies.
In an interview with Sharon Waxman, CEO of the openly left-leaning, very politicized showbiz site The Wrap, at the BE Conference in Austin, Bell admitted she would rather use her newfound platform to bash and insult people that do not share her views than show grace and appreciation for the audiences that gave her that platform in the first place. Veruca Salt's got nothing on Bell's former character Veronica Mars in the "Give it to me now" department.
“So I’m not a citizen anymore because I’m an actor? F–ck that,” Bell said. “I’m a citizen of the United States, I’m allowed to say what I want to say.”
The issue here is prudence and manners. Bell apparently has none.
“I’m very lucky to have a platform; I use it responsibly. Some people don’t. A lot of people do,” the 36-year-old actress continued. “But just because I have followers on Twitter doesn’t mean that I’m any less allowed to share what I believe.”
“I’m a citizen of the United States of America, so I’m allowed to state my opinions, even if it’s on social media,” she added.
For those with amnesia as to how Kristen Bell likes to "share" her opinions, let's recap her "Pinksourcing" video that berated stay-at-home moms as clueless simpletons still sleepwalking in the 1950's.
"Women don't even really want to be working anyway," she said. "They'd rather be home, taking care of the family, while their husband gets to make life choices and follow his dreams, and play fantasy football."
Bell is correct on one thing: she is indeed a citizen of the United States, and she has full license to cruelly pick at people she knows nothing about while safely tucked away in her safe space surrounded by an entourage of sycophants.
