Hollywood actors were “bullies” toward President-elect Donald Trump — and that treatment helped the Republican win the November election, “Star Trek” actress Zoe Saldana said in an interview.
“We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong,” she added, “and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises. ”
Saldana, who supported Democrat Hillary Clinton, said that the time had come to move forward from the election.
“I’m learning from [Trump’s victory] with a lot of humility,” she said. “If we have people continue to be strong and educate ourselves and stand by equal rights and treat everyone with respect, we won’t go back to those times. ”
“I just say he’s now elected and we as a country need to support whoever’s the president because that’s what the country’s based on,” Kidman said on Tuesday. “”However that happened, he’s there, and let’s go. ”
“You and all of us in this room belong to the most vilified segments of America right now: Hollywood, foreigners and the press,” she said.
