Arroyo: When O.J. Comes out to Support You, as He Did Will Smith, You’re Probably Not the Innocent Party
EXCERPT:
ARROYO: "But, you know, Laura, the problem with all of this is, some people say, 'Move on. He apologized, move on.' No, no. It’s a cultural inflection point and it glamorizes and it normalizes these ad hoc beatings and smackdowns you see all across America. You don’t need a leading actor like this, particularly one that families identify with, enacting this violence and it shouldn’t be celebrated or condoned. And you know, when O.J. Simpson comes out to support you, Laura, as he did Will Smith, you’re probably not the innocent party. Maybe Smith can play the Juice next. And there are those peculiar Instagram posts. Did you see these, Laura? He posted these before the Oscars, before the ceremony he wrote, 'Me and Jada Pinkett got all dressed up to choose chaos.'”
