Julia Louis-Dreyfus counters concerns about Jerry Seinfeld’s cancel culture

It’s been almost two months since the TV icon’s day Jerry Seinfeld creating right-wing applause with complaints about perceived cultural sensitivity. But in a new interview, Julia Louis-Dreyfus making it clear that she disagrees with her 70-year-old man Seinfeld co-star, even thought his comments were a bit out of tune.

As you may recall, Jerry Seinfeld and Julia Louis-Dreyfus went from fan-favorite comedies to household names in the early 1990s, when Seinfeld hit the air.
