Ayo Edebiri’s facial expressions are about to take you on a journey.
The “Bear” star has gone viral thanks to the way she recently navigated a very tense interview moment. Meanwhile, an Italian journalist who was interviewing Edebiri was forced to release a statement Sunday, writing on Instagram that she has “been subjected to personal insults and attacks because of a question that, for some reason, was not well received by some members of the public.”
The incident occurred last week while Edebiri and her co-stars, Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield, were speaking to the Italian outlet ArtsLife Tv about their upcoming movie “After the Hunt,” and the reporter, Federica Polidoro, asked the actors what they felt had been “lost during the politically correct era” of America.
“What [do] we have to expect in Hollywood after the MeToo movement and the Black Lives Matter are done?” she asked.
Although Polidoro’s question might have made some sense in the context of the film — considering that the Luca Guadagnino-helmed project explores both those themes — what made the question odd was that the Italian journalist specifically addressed Roberts and Garfield, but not Edebiri, who is a Black woman.
