Julia Louis-Dreyfus doesn’t agree with Jerry Seinfeld when it comes to political correctness and comedy, she revealed to the New York Times.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus doesn’t see eye to eye with her former co-star Jerry Seinfeld when it comes to political correctness and comedy.
The “Veep” actress pushed back on Seinfeld’s controversial view that political correctness is “something of a worry for people that can’t think” in a new interview with the New York Times.
“If you look back on comedy and drama both, let’s say 30 years ago, through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don’t age well,” Louis-Dreyfus, 63, told the newspaper in an article published Monday.
“And I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing,” she continued. “It doesn’t mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result.”
Louis-Dreyfus said she understands why people “might push back” on political correctness.
“But to me, that’s a red flag because it sometimes means something else,” she furthered.
