Ellen Page Posts to Facebook About Abuse From Brett Ratner, Calls for Focus Beyond Cis White Actresses

Woody Allen may not be a child molester, but he’s still a creep for marrying his young step-daughter. Not illegal, no, but scummy as hell. And when you add that on top of the other accusations, it’s difficult to not be extremely put off by him. I’ve never been able to sit through his movies for this reason. Polanski, though, he’s made some movies that are so incredibly good I can’t help but watch them. (Also doesn’t hurt that unlike Allen, he doesn’t star in his own films so it’s easier to not think about him.) It really sucks that someone with that much talent is such a horrible human being, but he is, and it is absolutely ridiculous that Hollywood has defended him so much. Yeah, I get it, the work is good, great even, but that doesn’t override the fact he drugged and anally raped a 13 year old girl. And admitted it. And fled from the consequences of his actions. I can’t think of something much more deplorable.
