Mother Aniseya (Jodie Turner-Smith) contemplating with a calm expression on her face in The Acolyte season 1 episode 3
The Acolyte star Jodie Turner-Smith has directly addressed the backlash against the Star Wars Disney+ TV show, insisting it's time for studios to do better protecting their cast. Helmed by Leslye Headland, of Russian Doll fame, The Acolyte proved controversial long before it ever released. The Star Wars TV show was subjected to a review-bombing campaign, and the stars suffered a significant amount of abuse on social media.
"They’ve got to stop doing this thing where they don’t say anything when people are getting fucking dog-piled on the internet with racism and bull****. It’s just not fair to not say anything. It’s really unfair. It would just be nice if the people that have all the money were showing their support and putting their feet down. Say this is unacceptable: ‘You’re not a fan if you do this.’ Make a really big statement and just see if any money leaves.
Turner-Smith's comments come shortly after a disturbing report from Variety exploring the issue of toxic fandom, which contained a telling quote from one anonymous marketing executive:"Particularly when it’s a negative, toxic conversation, we don’t even engage. Like with toxic people, you try to not give it too much oxygen.” The problem, though, is that this isn't working; the negative voices are heard loud and clear, and the cast feel subjected to attack and without defense.
