I'm so upset. Ari Zucker (Nicole) is one of my most favorite actresses. She is a wonderful person, and my heart hurts for her and all women who are afraid to say what happened to them for fear of what society will do to them. Ari is the victim here, and she was fired!!! I'm so angry it makes me sick. Not that she would want to come back, but the fact that Corday allowed her to be treated with such disgrace makes me think so much less of him (not that I thought he was even that great before). He is just as disgusting as the fired guy guilty of the actual abuse.
THIS is rape culture. THIS is what I've been complaining about. NO WONDER we have so many examples of rape turned to "super romance" by these shows. Days isn't alone. The more I read about how Corday Productions has responded and reacted to Ari Zucker's comments and lawsuit, the angrier I become.
Angry and disappointed. I keep hoping someone will stand up for Ari and I am so disappointed in Ken Corday and his production team for backing the predator and letting the victim be victimized even more. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!! It's also disgusting that people are using her political views to justify this stuff.
I hate politics. I hate it. We as a country need to come together and do better. period. Because there are women like Ari Zucker all over the country. Most of them will never say who attacked them, because they fear a society that will punish them for saying anything. Rape culture still wins. Ari Zucker being fired is proof that rape culture wins. This is a huge loss for women everywhere.
All that said, I wish Ari Zucker peace. I wish for her all the best in her future both personally and professionally. Ari will always be a favorite of mine. God speed to you, sweet lady! I'm so sad this happened to you. It's not fair. and I pray you heal from all of it.
