What the fuss!

Ryan Reynolds and Mandy Moore have minced no words in criticising SAG-AFTRA’s new Halloween guidelines that encourage members to refrain from dressing up as characters from struck films and shows this year. “Is this a joke? Come on @sagaftra. This is what’s important?” Moore, 39, wrote on her Instagram story recently.  She continued, “We’re asking you to negotiate in good faith on our behalf. So many folks across every aspect of this industry have been sacrificing mightily for months. Get back to the table and get a fair deal so everyone can get back to work. Please and thank you.” 


On the other hand, Reynolds, 46, took to X (formerly Twitter), responding to an article detailing SAG-AFTRA’s guidelines. “I look forward to screaming ‘scab’ at my eight-year-old all night. She’s not in the union but she needs to learn,” he sarcastically tweeted. Former SAG-AFTRA president Melissa Gilbert spared no words in questioning the union’s move on social media, “This is what you guys come up with? Do you really think this kind of infantile stuff is going to end the strike?” she wondered. She further added, “Please tell me you’re going to make this rule go away….and go negotiate! For the love of God, people are suffering mightily and this is what you have to say…c’mon. This is the kind of silly bulls–t that keeps us on strike.” Making fun of the entire ordeal, she signed off, saying, “Let’s enact a policy that makes us look petty and incompetent at the same time.”
