Jodie Turner-Smith opened up about not feeling supported after her short-lived 'Star Wars' series received an overwhelming amount of racist backlash
Jodie Turner-Smith is calling it like it is when it comes to the racism and hate directed at her and her costars on The Acolyte.
Turner-Smith, who played Mother Aniseya, wished there was more of a 'really big statement' on the matter, especially since there are so many people of color and 'especially Black people' who support the Star Wars brand. “I’m going to be transparent and say it’s not a huge shock for me,” Stenberg said via Instagram Stories in August. “There has been a rampage of vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced, when it was still just a concept and no one had even seen it. That’s when we started experiencing a rampage of, I would say, hyper-conservative bigotry and vitriol, prejudice, hatred and hateful language towards us.
