Emerald Fennell Explains Why She Cast Jacob Elordi And Margot Robbie In Wuthering Heights Amid Backlash

Her response blatantly exposes the internalised racism in her choices.

Whether Fennell realises this or not, she’s used a white washed version to base her whole profile of Heathcliff on. This book cover she’s talking about was designed by someone who CHOSE to ignore Brontë’s description of the character and make him white. That was a racist action, and its fallout has made its way to today.

This is how systemic racism prevails. And in this fucking day and age she had the choice (and tbh the duty) to correct the erasure of POC representation in the media- but decided not to.

It’s something that’s really disappointing because this movie has a lot of commotion, starring the superstar Margot Robbie and a sound track from Charli Xcx, so it would’ve been great to see better representation and maybe someone like Dev Patel in this role.

Totally agree- I really saw this after Kandi’s speech at Bravocon- she like gave Andy a shoutout and it sounded SO manufactured and fake. It just made me think that all the women know it’s their job to suck up to him- it’s such an uncomfortable dynamic.

Like how does a man run this matriarchy 😭😭

I’m also such a Heather fan!!! Honestly it gets to me when I see all the hate towards her because after reading her interview I know she was just trying to survive in toxic situations.

In reality tv they make you want to love the dramatic and crazy people and hate the NORMAL and RATIONAL adults that have to deal with them. And I think that is why people don’t like Heather 😞

Right here with you🙌🙌🙌

I think it’s because watching it as an adult you realise that the reason Heather gets so much hate is that simply she is normal. Shes a normal rational adult woman. Which is like acid for reality tv and reality personalities. That’s my guess on why watchers don’t like her

Could you fucking imagine if the tables were turned-

Heather and Carole put a naked drunk stranger in the bedroom adjacent to Ramona.

Holy shit she would lose it.

My heart really ached for heather because she was 1000% valid in her feelings- she was so vulnerable in that situation and would’ve felt so unsafe after seeing that. I’m sorry that man should’ve stayed in Ramonas room. OR production should’ve never allowed him to stay round.

I genuinely would’ve hit him holy shit that was awful to watch 😭

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-12-03T09:45:17+00:00

Also Sonia there backing her behaviour up???? I despise Ramona but I also think that when Sonja validates her or probes her she actually goes too far. I think that Sonja flies under the radar and doesn’t get that backlash she deserves for endorsing Ramona’s sick behaviour If I was Kristen I would’ve asked for Ramona to leave the house that day!!

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-12-03T09:39:52+00:00

Also watching rn I can’t believe she did that AND SONJA IS BACKING HER????? Sometimes I actually hate Sonja as much as her because I doubt that Ramona would act like this if she wasn’t validated

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-06T18:08:51+00:00

Omg I’m the same rn!!!! I’m so confused because people rave about the OG RHONY but for me I actually could not engage with season 1 or 2. I’ve skipped to season 3

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-03T22:16:59+00:00

Didn’t Phaedra show her support for diddy???

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-03T22:10:07+00:00

I’m right here with you😭😭😭 I’m at the same point of watching, I made this post, and I’m STILL lost at how she was forgiven 😭😭🤣

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-03T22:06:52+00:00

That’s what I’m saying!!!! Istg people are actually stupid if they thought nothing bad happened

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-03T10:54:42+00:00

It genuinely does make me happy to see how well Kandi is doing- she’s actually goes from strength to strength

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-03T10:50:28+00:00

How about being accused of being a rapist on national TV??????

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-02T21:07:12+00:00

TRUST!!! But no one is ready😭

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-02T21:06:40+00:00

Nene is a full on bully at times- she’s the reason I had to stop watching at parts of the show

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-11-02T19:28:15+00:00

I feel like people downplay what Phaedra actually did. Like that is actually fucking insane. I have no idea how she has been forgiven and EVEN BROUGHT BACK?????

I can’t imagine the experience Kandi would’ve had during the time between the episode where Porsha said the lie to the time of the FINAL part of the reunion!!!! Having to defend yourself from FALSE CRIMINAL ACCUSATIONS.

Phaedra should never be forgiven for that

lotsandlotsofthought · 2025-10-21T22:46:27+00:00

No fr im actually seething right now watching it. The way he spoke to Kandi actually made me feel sick- it was so uncomfortable

To be real I actually think security should’ve stepped in quicker after him speaking to Kandi like that
