Kristen Bell has resigned from her voiceover role of a mixed-race girl on Apple TV+'s animated series Central Park. Molly, voiced by Bell, was the character of an aspiring comic book artist who is the daughter of a black man (voiced by Leslie Odom Jr) and a white woman (voiced by Kathryn Hahn).

Bell statement via Just Jared highlighted that, “this is a time to acknowledge our acts of complicity. Here’s one of mine.” “Playing Molly shows a lack of awareness of my pervasive privilege.

Casting a white actress for a mixed race character undermines the specificity of the mixed race & Black American experience,” Kristen added.

Morgan Wallen's crowd chants 'Let's Go, Brandon' at packed Madison Square Garden show
Morgan Wallen played to a packed crowd at New York City’s Madison Square Garden where the crowd routinely broke into anti-President Joe Biden chants. Videos from the event taken by Fox News Digital show the crowd enjoying the show and engaging in some political mockery while the artist was between songs during his set. One video shows everyone gleefully chanting "Let’s Go Brandon," a not-so-subtle code among President Biden’s critics that stands for "F--- Joe Biden." During Wallen’s opening act at the show for his "The Dangerous Tour" was special guest HARDY, who took a moment during his set to discuss what was going on in the country, prompting the crowd to launch into a "USA" chant as well.

Will Smith Would “Absolutely” Want To See David Ayer’s Cut Of ‘Suicide Squad’
The Snyder Cut fandom is one of the most vocal on social media when it comes to superhero films, leading the charge for years (using both positive and disgustingly negative means) to finally get the preferred cut of “Justice League” released. Now, a lot of those folks are trying to drum up support for the David Ayer Cut of “Suicide Squad.” Though everyone agrees that the original director’s cut of that film is likely better than the shoddy theatrical cut that was released, there doesn’t seem to be any indication that WB has any interest in actually putting money into it, especially considering James Gunn has taken that world and revamped it with his “The Suicide Squad” and “Peacemaker” projects.
