Paramount has come out swinging against a Friday screed from Mark Ruffalo, in which the award-winning actor accused moguls David and Larry Ellison of “powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world.”
A spokesperson for the David Ellison-run enterprise said the company is “troubled when antisemitic tropes are invoked in purported service of a business dispute. Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far, and they cheapen the very real suffering those words are meant to describe. This doesn’t deserve a response in kind — and to be clear, we don’t tolerate prejudice of any kind, against anyone.”
Name this fucking person, Variety? There needs to be more sunlight on the fascist PR people who write these statements. The “hands” and " mouths" need to wear the shame of their role in this as much as the prominent faces of the evil do.
Seriously, go try to find the name. It’s hidden everywhere.
Lacking any direct attribution, Paramount’s chief communications officer, listed as the company’s spokesperson, is Melissa Zukerman - Your grandkids will one day work to hide the fact that they were related to you, Melissa.
