Lynda Carter, sumali sa #MeToo movement
SUMIKAT nang husto si Lynda Carter noong 1970s dahil sa kanyang pagganap sa DC Comics’ iconic Amazonian na Wonder Woman TV series ng ABC. At ngayon, nagpapakita siya ng kahalintulad na lakas, na naglalarawan ng kanyang superheroic character sa pamamagitan ng pagbubunyag ng kanyang mga saloobin tungkol sa pang-aabusong seksuwal at maling pag-uugali na kanyang naranasan sa kasagsagan ng kanyang karera – at nagpapakita ng suporta sa lumalaking #MeToo movement. Sa panayam ni Tim m Teeman ng Daily
Beast, tumanggi si Carter ter na pangalanan ang mga taong gumawa awa sa kanya ng masama – ngunit agad din naman niyang sinabi na naniniwala siya ya bawat babaeng nag-aakusa ng pangmomolestiya molestiya kina Bill
Cosby at President Donald nald Trump. Para sa kanyang sariling iling tormentor, aniya, gumagawa na siya ya ng “some form of punishment and nd justice,” kaya nararamdaman niya na “there’s no advantage age in piling on again”. Gayunman, nman, malayo ito sa isang taong aong nangmolestiya sa kanya, a, nang balikan niya ang g isang sitwasyon sa set ng g
Wonder Woman: “There was a cameraman who drilled a hole in my dressing room wall on the Warner Brothers lot. …They caught him, fired ed him, and drummed him m out of the business.”
Aniya pa, “I fended d off my share (of other incidents). nts). And I’ve been afraid. If a man an tried something, I would say, ‘Are you kidding me?’”
Hindi siya nagsalita noon dahil natatakot siyang magantihan.
“You wouldn’t do it. Who are you going to tell, your agent? Who’s going to believe you? No one’s going to believe you,” aniya. “And when you did push back by saying, ‘Are you kidding me?’ they would say, ‘ Yes, yes.’ But it was everywhere. You’d see girls being shaken in acting classes.”
Nag- iiba na ang pananaw na ito at salamat sa #MeToo, na itinuturing itinut niyang positibo — at longoverdue overdu — response sa naging nagin kaugalian na sa Hollywood. H “I asked my m husband if he was w surprised by all the t #MeToo stories. ‘ Yeah, I’m surprised,’ surpris he said. Ask any a woman, they’re they not surprised,” surpri lahad niya. “It’s been going on for years. It’s not n news to us (wom ( women), but it is news ne to you ( men). men We’ve been trying t to tell you. We’ve W been trying t to tell you for a long time ti and you haven’t li listened.”
