I haven’t seen her post anything about Trump. I don’t think that’s an accurate characterization.

I was so disappointed and disgusted when she posted the "I've been muzzled" etc. crap after the election. Out of the blue.

I'd been following her on IG for her strong and well-informed advocacy against the eventual use of AI to replace or augment actors in films and TV. That subject is pretty much 100 percent of her IG presence -- until Nov. 5. She is actually knowledgeable about the many plans in studios to use AI much more extensively as soon as possible technologically. She was, maybe still is for now, the official adviser to the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA, on AI concerns. She earned a degree in computer science and digital media management, so she has tech background for what she's talking about, which gave her even more credence.

And then, that post about being muzzled etc.

She was so right about AI and so good at reminding everyone that studios crave it, at the eventual expense of actors. But she's undone that work, I think, by this sudden focus on feeling WTF ever this is she's claiming now. It's a pity, because AI is a genuine future threat to acting, but she's not going to be listened to on that topic by her peers or studios, after this dumb self-outing. Should they still listen, and not let her now obvious political leanings affect discussion on AI? Probably, but she's tanked her credibility with a lot of people. For nothing, because I can't figure how she was held back, since she's not an active actor liable to lose roles for her politics.

What a simpleton. You want to write her off before she even says what she wants to say? Maybe you will actually agree but you’re too close minded to even listen.

She won the lottery with her Family Ties role then couldn’t transition to movies. Satisfaction was a huge flop commercially as well as for her (proving she can’t act), yet her costars Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts springboarded to fame.

She somehow managed to marry well and is loaded. Her “projects” are vanity projects that nobody enjoys.

She has been very vocal about AI and its impact on artists. That was fine.

She has been very vocal about aging naturally. That’s fine, too…although she looks rough.

Her anti-woke/free speech rants are fine, too. She’s entitled to her opinion and it actually tracks with most Americans (remember: Trump and the Republicans won).

Where she seems pathetic imho is how insecure she must be to prompt such proactive, aggressive talking points on the regular. She feels entitled to an audience and her voice comes off like a know-it-all. Arrogant. Yet she lacks credentials, gravitas, and even sufficient celebrity status to deserve any audience.

Nonetheless, I can’t look away from the train wreck/dumpster fire that is Justine Bateman…Jason’s weird sister who played that ditzy girl on Family Ties.

Hey she did have a memorable guest spot as Lassy's ex wife on Psych - no Psych erasure here, please

Why is she acting like she had no freedom to express herself before Trump was elected?

Is she hoping to get some Elon Musk money?

Are some of these people secretly harboring some ideology that they know deep down inside the majority of people would find wrong? And Trump is signaling to them, they don't have to be ashamed of it anymore.

I think it's ridiculous that she is a hero for slamming people about how she has aged. She was paid money at one time because of her attractive qualities. She did drugs. She damaged her looks. It's not normal aging but hard drugging.
