Julia Roberts blames humanity for failing at conversation
Julia Roberts came forward to defend Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt while tackling tough “MeToo” questions.
For the unversed, the 57-year-old American actress defended her new film After the Hunt at a press conference in Venice by answering tough questions about the movie’s message on “MeToo” and cancel culture.
In the forthcoming movie, Roberts plays the role of a college professor, Alma Olsson, who finds herself at a crucial stage of life as her student (Edebiri) accuses her colleague Henrik Gibson, played by Andrew Garfield, and a pal of crossing a line.
The Notting Hill star brushed aside a question about whether After the Hunt was sabotaging the feminist movement. The journalist claimed the film has “caused controversy” among the festivalgoers, as they felt it “revives old arguments” about believing women who do not confine themselves in a room after being s**ually assaulted but rather speak up.
Instead of answering the question, Roberts stated she wants the movie to help initiate difficult conversations.
With a laugh, she said, “Not to be disagreeable, because it’s not in my nature, but the thing you said that I love is it ‘revives old arguments.’ I don’t think it’s just reviving an argument of women being pitted against each other or not supporting each other. There are a lot of old arguments that get rejuvenated that creates conversation.”
The Oscar winner added, “The best part of your question is that you all came out of the theater talking about it. That’s how we wanted it to feel. You realize what you believe in strongly because we stir it all up for you. So, you’re welcome.”
Roberts went on to deny claims that the film was trying to stir controversy, emphasising that society is “losing the art of conversation in humanity right now.”
“We’re not making statements; we are portraying these people in this moment in time. I don’t know about controversy, per se, but we are challenging people to have conversation. To be excited or infuriated about it is up to you. If making this movie does anything, getting everybody to talk to each other is the most exciting thing that I think we could accomplish,” she quipped.
Before concluding, it is pertinent to mention that After the Hunt will be released on October 10, 2025.

Kim Kardashian mocked by British singer over new product
British singer Cher Lloyd has taken a cheeky swipe at Kim Kardashian’s latest Skims product priced at £34.
Sharing a screenshot of the item on her Instagram Story, the “Want U Back” singer mocked the concept, writing, “Save your £34 and grow the …. They really know how to take the …., don’t they?” followed by a laughing emoji.
The undergarment features multiple shades and textures and is marketed by Skims as a limited-edition novelty piece.

However, Lloyd’s sarcastic remark quickly drew attention online, with fans applauding her humor and echoing her criticism of what some called an “outrageous” fashion gimmick.
Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand is known for pushing boundaries in both comfort and design, but this particular launch has sparked debate over whether it’s a clever statement or simply absurd.
Neither Skims nor Kardashian has responded to Lloyd’s post.

Meghan Markle gets stark warning about royal title
Meghan Markle has been issued a stark warning regarding stripping of her royal title when her brother-in-law Prince William becomes King.
Writing for the Daily Beast, citing royal insiders, royal expert Tom Sykes claims Meghan and Harry will also finally have their HRHs revoked after years of tensions.
The report says, “Meghan continues to use her HRH despite being ordered not to do so by the late Queen Elizabeth II.”
The report further said the dramatic change will be effected by an executive royal order known as “letters patent.”
The fresh claims came days after Prince Andrew announced to relinquish royal title, the Duke of York after discussion with King Charles, and other ‘immediate and wider family.’
The palace releases statement on behalf of Andrew, which reads, “We have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.
“With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”
