      She comes across as insufferable. This is a personality type that makes sense if you are a 40-50 year old George Clooney who has amassed a fan base and engrained yourself as a sex symbol and persona that the majority of the country is aware of the journey of. Then these tidbits and stories are funny. When you are speaking like you have lived an entire life and you are like 19, anyone with a brain knows you are either totally faking it or have succumbed completely to the worst kinds of narcissism that teenage years can produce. It’s just revolting IMO.
      No, you don’t have to act like a kid, but don’t come across as a total tool either like Zegler tends to. The stupid looks she gives interviewers, the over-indulgence in pronouncing Spanish words with a Spanish accent (your speaking them to an American audience. We get it? Your Latina), and the endless line “this isn’t the ___ you remember” (which she inserts for every character she plays apparently). Good lord. Self absorption overload. Earn it first at least. 😅🤮🤮🤮

      I hope Steven doesn't kick Rachel to the curb anytime soon. Everyone remembers the time when Steven Spielberg kicked Shia LaBeouf to the curb after he publicly apologized for giving people the misguided assumption that Mutt Williams was going to take over Indiana Jones' adventures at the end of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival in May, 2010.
      Shia had this to say about the movie:
      “I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished, you get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven. But the actor's job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn't do it. So that's my fault. Simple. I think the audience is pretty intelligent. I think they know when you've made and I think if you don't acknowledge it, then why do they trust you the next time you're promoting a movie. Harrison Ford and I had major discussions. He wasn't happy with it either. Look, the movie could have been updated. There was a reason it wasn't universally accepted. We need to be able to satiate the appetite, I think we just misinterpreted what we were trying to satiate. I'll probably get a call. But he needs to hear this. I love him. I love Steven. I have a relationship with Steven that supersedes our business work. And believe me, I talk to him often enough to know that I'm not out of line. And I would never disrespect the man. I think he's a genius, and he's given me my whole life. He's done so much great work that there's no need for him to feel vulnerable about one film. But when you drop the ball you drop the ball."
      The fact that Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon earned $1.236 billion dollars worldwide one year later didn't change Steven's opinion on Shia. I'm angry that Steven never offered Shia an apology for failing to appreciate his honesty.

But this cannot be called racism, because of the inherent systemic imbalance of power between those with lighter skin colour and people of colour. White people have never suffered simply cuz their skin is white, on the contrary being white in America has always given you privilege.. something nobody non-white has ever experienced….. you not acknowledging your privilege makes you racist so there is no point in trying to make you understand cuz you won’t 😂 cuz you don’t want to. stop crying and acting like a like a victim cuz Rachel told you the truth a few times… a victim you are not 😉
