Insiders say that Clooney’s political ideas sparked the dispute at a production meeting. Reportedly, Barr addressed Clooney on his recent remarks and activities;
she has been outspoken about her dislike of “woke” society. Barr decided to fire Clooney from the project when the situation swiftly deteriorated.
“Woke people aren’t welcome here,” Barr said bluntly in a statement sent to the media. “Real Americans with real values” are the focus of this program, not the agenda-pushers from Hollywood.
There has been a range of reactions from the entertainment business, including astonishment, support, and condemnation.
Those who stand behind Barr say she is just being creative and using her freedom to make a program that speaks to her.
