Rae slammed the lack of a &#8220;backbone&#8221; in the film industry when dealing with &#8220;repeat offenders&#8221; like Miller, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. &#8220;I'm going to be real, the stuff that's happening with Ezra Miller is, to me, a microcosm of Hollywood,&#8221; Rae told Elle. &#8220;There's this person who's a repeat offender, who's been behaving atrociously, and as opposed to shutting them down and shutting the production down, there's an effort to save the movie and them.

Discovery CEO David Zaslav, during a recent earnings call, referred to the movie as &#8220;one of the great DC films coming up.&#8221; Reflecting on the five years since the #MeToo movement began, Rae said that &#8220;sadly not much&#8221; has changed. &#8220;It feels like we're regressing, depressingly so. There are just too many enablers for there to be real change,&#8221; the &#8220;Insecure&#8221; creator and star said.

&#8220;People have to be held accountable. There have to be legitimate consequences. Hollywood is very bad about consequences.

It's literally the worst industry when it comes to punishing people for misdeeds and actions, because money will always reign supreme. That's something that, even by working in this industry, we're enabling.
