Alyssa Milano recently caused a stir when she blamed Elon Musk’s leadership of Twitter (now X) for her waning Hollywood career and financial difficulties. Milano asserted in a podcast interview that Musk’s unbridled use of free speech encouraged online abuse, hate speech, and disinformation, resulting in a poisonous atmosphere that has turned off casting directors and producers.
She maintained that industry leaders now steer clear of contentious people out of concern for online boycotts, and outspoken celebrities now face professional repercussions. Milano also talked about her financial struggles, stating that she has had to drastically cut back on spending because she has less acting opportunities.
Milano continues to be dedicated to her activism in spite of the emotional and professional sacrifices, despite criticism that she is shifting the responsibility for her job difficulties. The conflict in Hollywood between career viability and personal advocacy has been brought to light by her remarks, which have generated discussion.
