Jamie Lee Curtis, an American actress and novelist, is providing clarity on\u00a0her prior remarks in which she stated that she is “more Switzerland” in the conflict between \u00a0SAG-AFTRA\u00a0and AMPTP. This response\u00a0comes just days after her original remarks at an event in Los Angeles. The interview was widely circulated online on Saturday, and she was accused of being “neutral” in the ongoing dispute between\u00a0the two parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What were Jamie Lee Curtis’ original remarks on the SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP conflict?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The comments that sparked such controversy\u00a0were made earlier this week when Jamie\u00a0was asked explicitly about the strike at Project Angel Food’s groundbreaking event at The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Campus. Curtis remarked at the time that she is “hopeful that we can all see all sides” and “find common ground” between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interview to Variety at the event, she said: \u201cI\u2019m more Switzerland. I\u2019m not a polarized person here. I don\u2019t like the rhetoric on both sides. Any settlement means nobody\u2019s happy. So there will be a settlement and not everyone will be happy. I don\u2019t like the them vs. us. The fact that there\u2019s a them and an us bothers me. It\u2019s one industry and I hope that all of the sides can recognize the oneness of our industry, and that we are interdependent, and that AI is not interdependent, that human beings are and at the end of the day our interdependency with each other will prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

What did Jamie Lee Curtis say to rectify her previous statement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Instagram, Jamie posted a statement “to clear up any confusion,” clarifying where she stands on this crucial dispute between WGA plus SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP. \u201cI attended a beautiful charity event celebrating the groundbreaking for the new campus of @projectangelfood and I was inevitably asked about the strike and I made a comment about wanting to be like Switzerland,\u201d she began. \u201cAll of a sudden the clearly desperate news cycle machine is all over me to clarify those comments. HERE THEY ARE! I FULLY SUPPORT the @sagaftra strike, have volunteered making signs multiple times and have donated to the relief fund. I SUPPORT the leadership and SUPPORT our demands. I\u2019m a rank-and-file union member. I am not on any negotiating committee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
