While i don't know the first thing about her performances, but if it was openly queer then it'd be worse if she didn't go tbh. the opportunity to be openly queer in a repressive society is an opportunity to do good, to undermine their dogmatic bullshit.
I think it just further serves to whitewash Saudi Arabia. "Look, we're so progressive we let a woman on stage! (but a man better have fucking brought her there)"
Kirson in her statement to THR said she “donated the entirety of what I was paid to perform there to a human rights organization.”
She did not say how much the comedy festivals paid her, or the group to which she donated her fee.
So she cannot or will not actually confirm any of this actually happened... Right.
Jessica Kirson right now:
Damn solid apology.
Really? You believe her even though she didn't say how much she donated and to what organization? This read as PR damage control of the highest level.
shrug
I don't need receipts. Maybe that's too trusting of me, I'll admit that.
Yeah I feel like it must be miserable being so distrusting and angry about everything at all times, she still shouldn't have done it but seems to be a fair apology attempt
you don't have to be angry all the time, but accountability is an important thing.
Legitimately. Not hollow platitudes. Nice to see.
