on Paramount+, Elliott began his mea culpa with a semi-serious warning. “First, don’t do a podcast with the call letters WTF.”He then said the movie “struck a chord with me” and wanted to talk to Maron about “how I felt about the film.”“I wasn’t very articulate about it. I didn’t articulate it very well,” Elliott said. “And I said some things that hurt people and I feel terrible about that. The gay community has been incredible to me my entire career.
Elliott’s co-star Faith Hill followed up by referring to Elliott’s “amazing character” on set and how he would go out of his way to apologize to anyone who he thought he’d offended. “Whatever is was, if he stepped on a toe or knocked off a hat.”While speaking with Maron for his podcast in March, Elliott describedas a “piece of sh*t” Western with “allusions of homosexuality.
Campion later responded to Elliott’s comments. “I think it’s really unfortunate and sad for him because he’s really hit the trifecta of misogyny and xenophobia and homophobia,” she told Deadline last month. “I don’t like that. I think he was being a little bit of a b-i-t-c-h. Plus he’s not a cowboy, he’s an actor.”Elliott plays Shea Brennan, a hardened Civil War vet who leads the Dutton Family and a band of European immigrants across the frontier.
