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. Since then, the show has been rebroadcast on television lined bag belong to Far-right commentator Steve Bannon, who has an ownership stake in the program. That is said That’s one of the biggest controversies until April, when co-creator of the show Seinfeld Talk to New Yorker that the “radical left and PC crap” have killed television comedies (although many are still on the air).
The reaction took place quickly with Expert on the right embracing the comedian, while Others describe his comments is the standard language of a wealthy American of a certain age.
