Smiling cheek to cheek with Kim Kardashian “has nothing to do with being at a party or having fun,” according to ex Fran Drescher. Nanny The star who is now the president of the actors’ trade union SAG-AFTRA. Drescher had to defend the company she’s keeping up with on Thursday, after Kardashian posted a photo of the two enjoying Dolce & Gabbana in Italy.
“I am a brand ambassador for a fashion company and so is Kim,” Drescher said during a SAG-AFTRA press conference. “I only met Kim seconds before this publicity photo was taken. It had nothing to do with being at a party or having fun, it was an absolute job. I would wear my hair and make-up three hours a day, walking in heels on gems. Doing things like that, And it’s business. Not fun.”
She went on to say that Kardashian, who crossed the WGA picket line for her photo shoot American Horror Story In May, you’ll also likely prefer not to attend the fashion show if you’re not contractually obligated to do so. “I’m sure Kim would have preferred to be at home in Malibu with her kids, too,” she said. “But we work. It’s what we do.”
Drescher emphasized that despite the partisan atmosphere, she was dedicated to her union, which voted to strike on Thursday. At 10:30 p.m., Drescher was leaving the lavish party and participating in Zoom meetings, she said, and spent the entire flight home texting with people.
During the press conference, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director, supported Drescher. “Fran was working, and that’s what our members do,” he said. “And for these employers to cynically try to turn our members against Fran because she is doing work that she was contracted to do when, by the way, she has been groping our negotiations after hours 18 or more hours a day. It is outrageous. It is wrong. It is despicable, and they should be ashamed of it.” “.
said one SAG-AFTRA member Rolling Stone On Wednesday they lost faith in Dreser. They said, “I see Fran as a symbol who enjoys journalism and being in front of the cameras more than anything else.” “Unfortunately, she’s the president of one of the biggest labor unions in entertainment at the time of the seasonal change and she’s not the leader of the moment but she’s the leader we have at the moment.”
The union, which has 160,000 members, decided on Thursday to strike after a month of negotiations. Hollywood is now facing a double strike as actors and writers refuse to work until they get better deals. “The board of directors decided that union members should hold back their work, until a fair contract and strike served as a means of last resort, we tried for four weeks to reach an agreement with AMPTP [Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers]Ireland’s Crabtree said at a press conference on Thursday. Unfortunately, they left us with no alternative.
