Actress Goldie Hawn revealed she is not a fan of “Cancel Culture.”
In an interview with Variety, Hawn, 77, spoke about the negative affects this phenomenon has had on others who fall victim to it.
“I think that it’s important to stand vigilant on people’s behavior and really understand when they’re out of line and be able to handle it,” she said. “But I’m concerned about these areas: Suddenly you don’t have a job. Suddenly you can’t date a woman within the business or you’re going to get fired.”
Continuing, she said, “They’re canceling books — classic books that no one can read. I don’t like that. There’s mistrust everywhere.”
Hawn noted there are also “culture wars” along with “Cancel Culture.”
“Schools are being politicized. But for the greater good of our children? No one’s really looking at that,” she added.
According to Merriam-Webster, Cancel Culture is “the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure.”
