Today’s Women in Film Honors gala has left many in the industry bristling with anger and disappointment. Pamela Abdy took the stage at the event, confronting a wave of recent firings of senior women at studios, including Warner Bros., which Variety reported.
Her remarks described a “pure, unadulterated rage” at the treatment of women and warned that “it is getting harder, not easier, to be a woman in the business.” The timing of the speech, coinciding with the gala’s focus on female achievement, underscores the immediate backlash to these exits.
