Costar Angela Bassett and producer Nate Moore also address the controversy around Wright's vaccination status (via toofab)
"It's not a question we asked of anybody, to be quite honest," Moore said of her vaccination status."She never talked about her views either way. We read the stories that I would argue were unfair, because I don't know where they're coming from. As someone who literally is on set next to the monitor all the time, I feel like I would have heard it."
"She only ever was the utmost professional and a joy to have around," he added."She didn't cost us a moment. I mean, her injury was the thing that cost us, and that was no fault of her own."also reportedly told Variety she never heard Wright ever discuss vaccines on set. Wright's publicist reportedly"interrupted the call to insist the interview move on to the next question" when her vaccine status was brought up during the interview.
When THR first reported on her vaccine skepticism, Wright added in her Instagram comment,"Anyone who knows me or has worked with me, knows that I work incredibly hard at my craft & my main focus is always to do work that’s impactful and inspiring. That has been & will continue to be my only focus."
