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.
