Unraveling the Aftermath: Miles Robbins Addresses Backlash Over Susan Sarandon's Controversial Video
In the aftermath of Susan Sarandon's recent dismissal by her agent amid the Israel-Hamas conflict controversy, her son, Miles Robbins, steps forward to express gratitude for the public support but urges fans to halt the circulation of a particular video that he deems inappropriate.
Acknowledging Support Amidst McCarthyist Blacklisting
Miles Robbins takes to X (formerly Twitter) to thank those
defending his mother during what he calls a "McCarthyist
blacklisting" period. Despite appreciating the solidarity, he specifically
addresses a concern regarding the usage of a video that makes him
uncomfortable. Robbins tweets, "I’m really grateful to see people on
Twitter defending my mom amidst a new era of McCarthyist blacklisting, but can
you PLEASE stop using the clip of her getting her hair done with her honkers
out?"
Controversial Video Fuels Backlash
The video in question captures Susan Sarandon having her
hair styled while dressed in a revealing robe and sheer bra. Initially shared
by fans as a supportive gesture, it quickly becomes a focal point of
controversy, giving rise to witty comments and playful banter. Responding to
Miles' tweet, some users jest, with one saying, "Those honkers fed you,
have some respect," and another adding, "Now YOU'RE doing the
blacklisting." Robbins engages with many responses but expresses frustration
with a comment stating, "You can't censor us or her big naturals, my
guy," to which he responds, "… I can’t do this anymore."
It worked! @nypost Thanks for printing the words “a new era of McCarthyist Blacklisting” in your rag, ya dummies. https://t.co/lOpIYNkR66 pic.twitter.com/9LLoqIDhlc

Susan Sarandon's outspoken stance on Palestinian rights,
particularly her comments at a Union Square rally, has ignited controversy
leading to her agency, UTA, reportedly severing ties with her. Despite a
history of involvement in progressive causes, her recent remarks have generated
significant backlash.
Navigating Fallout: Advocacy, Public Perception, and Familial Concern
As Susan Sarandon grapples with the repercussions of her
agency's decision and faces the fallout from her comments on the Israel-Hamas
conflict, her son's plea adds a layer of complexity to the narrative. The
controversy surrounding the video prompts reflections on the delicate balance
between activism, public perception, and personal boundaries in the era of
social media.
