– Jamie Lee Curtis clarifies her opinion on the actors’ strike
– She now fully supports SAG-AFTRA
– Statement comes after her ‘Switzerland’ remark is criticized
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis has recently clarified her position on the actors’ strike, stating that she fully supports the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). This comes after her previous remark in which she likened herself to being in “Switzerland” faced criticism.
Curtis faced backlash after a quote in which she compared her neutrality on the matter to being in Switzerland, expressing that she had no particular opinion on the strike. However, the actress took to Twitter to set the record straight, saying, “I fully support SAG-AFTRA in protecting performers and in pursuing these key issues with management.”
“I merely meant that I’m in Switzerland career-wise in shooting the last Halloween movie,” she explained further in her tweet. Jamie Lee Curtis emphasized her support for the union, recognizing its importance for actors throughout their careers.
The actress initially faced fierce criticism for her “Switzerland” remark, with fellow actors and fans accusing her of not standing with her fellow performers as they seek better working conditions and protesting efforts. However, her latest statement should serve to reinforce her solidarity and commitment to supporting SAG-AFTRA and its members.
