Star trek Beyond<\/em>‘s Z\u00f6e Saldana<\/strong> gave her opinion regarding the Presidential election and her opinion was not popular with some, who took to Twitter<\/em> to let their feelings be known.<\/p>\n

Saldana believes that Hollywood’s treatment of Donald Trump<\/strong> made him an underdog to some, which helped him in the election. “We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies,” said Saldana. “We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises.”<\/p>\n

“I’m learning from [the Trump win] with a lot of humility,” Saldana added. “If we have people continue to be strong and educate ourselves and stand by equal rights and treat everyone with respect, we don’t go back to those times.”<\/p>\n

Twitter<\/em> users spoke up and they were not happy with Saldana’s comments. “Z\u00f6e Saldana is the same person who said she couldn\u2019t complain about racism in Hollywood because her president is Black,” said writer Michael Arceneaux<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I’m not mad at Z\u00f6e Saldana’s comments because I get where she’s coming from,” said another user. “But this colorblind kumbaya BS she believes about Trump is sad.”<\/p>\n

“Z\u00f6e Saldana, so ur defending Donald Trump now, ur the exact opposite of what Nina Simone<\/strong> represented & this is why no 1 wanted u 2 play her,” said another Twitter<\/em> user.<\/p>\n

“Z\u00f6e doesn’t understand bullying is when the powerful take advantage of the powerless,” said another.<\/p>\n

But not all the feedback was negative. “I’m guessing the people who are angry with Z\u00f6e Saldana are the same people who didn’t bother to read the article,” said another poster. “Her point is right.”<\/p>\n

“I don’t see what Z\u00f6e Saldana said that was so bad,” said another Twitter<\/em> poster. “She wasn’t supporting him. People are reaching.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
