Agreed. This is exactly how i see it. I choose to believe her intentions was to use herself as a poster child of what it looks like when you're being judgemental and possibly jealous. Both of those choices yields no benefit for any party. Hopefully others will learn to focus their life's energy on what they can control in their own lives.
Agree. But a lot of folks will just judge her and pretend they weren’t saying the same stuff about him.

She actually only said this one thing: "There was a part of me that was a little judgmental — why do you need all that? Little did I know that they were doing it because he was dying."

All the other direct quotes from her were praising Chadwick.

many would have thought similar shyt if they saw him on set getting what they would think is pampering

many people don't seem to understand how the culture of an environment can influence the way we think. probably came off to her eyes as "extra" or "diva-ish" for a black male actor especially one who didn't have the long rap sheet that other acting veterans have. right or wrong, her admission is another example of how our perceptions don't equal reality and that we should be constantly checking ourselves for internal biases.
