Ava DuVernay says Linda Fairstein’s op-ed blasting ‘When They See Us’ is ‘expected and typical’
Ava DuVernay is reacting to Linda Fairstein's op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
The film has not been great press for Fairstein. When it first debuted, #CancelLindaFairstein trended on social media. As a result of the backlash, she stepped down from the board of Vassar College. She also resigned from the boards of Mariska Hargitay’s Joyful Heart Foundation and God’s Love We Deliver.
After leaving the Manhattan D.A.'s office, Fairstein has been making a living as an author. But after the miniseries was released, her publisher dropped her.
On Monday, DuVernay was asked at an event for the movie, hosted by Oprah Winfrey, about Fairstein telling The Daily Beast that the miniseries is “a basket of lies.”
“I think that it’s important that people be held accountable,” DuVernay said. “And that accountability is happening in a way today that it did not happen for the real men 30 years ago.”
