The Scream sub turning on Melissa because of that recent interview is very unfortunate.

I agree she should have chosen her words better, it's right to reflect on what happened to you and right to point out the issues, but saying that the box office results were probably lied about isn't the right thing to do and it makes me uncomfortable that she'd say publicly that she agrees that those who did return were behaving like Scabs or that "they all are, and they have to live with that". I thought she was more generally forgiving and although I get having a problem with it, that kind of statement will make people demonise you for being "overly bitter and unable to let professional reasons get in the way of personal hangups" or "burning bridges of former/current allies"

However it's more annoying because many deemed her to be a positive figure that was unfairly pushed out, and I have a feeling that this might just turn that around and make people go "they were right to let her go" and be more negative about her movies and the character she played. You see people saying on the thread "Well 5/6 were nostalgia bait too" and most notably going "Well, she didn't leave when Neve left due to low payments". I don't like the idea that a single interview can undo a lot of the sympathy and good she represented, all because of comments that she should have maybe pushed through a PR team or something.

I definitely hope she succeeds in her ventures, but this situation has kind of left a mark on the fandom and notably affected 7, so the idea of people then having more of a reason to blame her isn't very nice. I did read the whole interview and she did have plenty of good and positive words in them, but I think everyone will focus on this.
