Fran Drescher, the president of the SAG-AFTRA union, is facing criticism for traveling to Italy to attend Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda festivities this past weekend as her 160,000-member actors union faces a deadline to go on strike.
Drescher’s appearance at the glamor event was confirmed in an Instagram post that showed her photographed with Kim Kardashian. That prompted criticism from a number of SAG-AFTRA members, as well as members of the Writer Guild of America, which is already on strike against the studios and streaming services. “Negotiating our possible strike from Italy seems like a strange strategy,” tweeted actor Lenny Jacobson. “Look — I’m not saying one can’t have a personal life.
“But we are prepared to strike if it comes to that. And we are concerned by the idea that SAG-AFTRA members may be ready to make sacrifices that leadership is not. We hope you’ve heard the message from us. This is an unprecedented inflection point in our industry, and what might be considered a good deal in any other years is simply not enough.
