Hollywood Rallying Behind Liam Neeson
In a whirlwind of drama, the silver‑screen community has taken a stand, waving their collective middle fingers at what they’re calling a misguided scare‑crow moment from Liam Neeson.
Michelle Rodriguez—The Voice of the Guild
During the amfAR gala, Rodriguez didn’t hold back. “It’s all f*ing bt,” she blurted to Vanity Fair, repeating the slam that Neeson’s statement has sparked. She turned to the audience and flared, “Dude, have you watched Widows? His tongue was so far down Viola Davis’s throat.” In a tone that feels like a punchline, she said, “You can’t call him a racist ever.”
Whoopi Goldberg—The Truth‑Teller
“People walk around with rage on their shoulders. Is he a bigot? No. I’ve known him for a long time, I’d have spotted him.”
“I’ve been around a lot of real bigots, but this guy isn’t one. If your loved one gets attacked, you might feel furious and want a fight, but that doesn’t make you a hate‑prone monster.”
Terry Crews—The Moral Compass
In a tweet that reads like an inspirational post from a high‑school guidance counselor, Crews mused, “Every person on Earth can be angelic or monstrous. Liam is just at a crossroads.”
Behind the Backlash
- Cold Pursuit, Neeson’s latest thriller, was slated for the New York red‑carpet launch but pulled out in the wake of his props‑filled interview.
- His appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ended up on the cancel list.
Recording In the Dark
During a bombshell interview, Neeson revealed a chilling admission: “I was hoping some black bd would come out of a pub and have a go at me. I wanted to kill him.” Friends later painted his words as an… err… mis‑understood narrative. He told ABC’s Good Morning America that he sought the help of a Catholic priest and close friends to confront the madness he’d harbored. “If it had been an Irish or a Scots or a Brit or a Lithuanian, the outcome would have been the same,” he admitted. “I wanted to honour and stand up for my dear friend in a terribly medieval way.”
In Summary
In a what‑not‑exactly‑committed‑wide‑meme frenzy, fans and peers alike are pressing for a clearer picture of the man behind the frog‑stroke of furor. Even if his words squeezed too tight, his supporters insist the heart—and the mouth—remains intact: Not a racist, just a screaming, blurred‑speaking, awfully uncomfortable man seeking redemption.
