  1. > “When I agreed to take the role in ‘The Lady,’ I knew portraying the script’s Sarah Ferguson would require nuance. People are layered, their journeys are full of highs and lows, and as an actor, my job is to lean into those elements and bring them to life with honesty and empathy,” Dormer said in a statement to Variety. “Since completing the project, new information has come to light that makes it impossible for me to reconcile my values with Sarah Ferguson’s behavior, which I believe is inexcusable. For that reason, I will not be taking part in the promotion of the project.”

  2. Bad luck with her career choices, I hope she gets a success.

  3. Good on her. Refreshing to see push-back against these disgusting people.

  4. weird that *women* connected to epstein collectively suffer worse than the men who engaged in the pedophelia.

  6. Fair enough, but Ferguson being an associate of Epstein and defender of Prince Andrew was public knowledge when she took on the role before these revelations.

  7. This story should be bigger.  Never heard a thing about this gesture in public media.  

  8. Nice work, lady whose facial structure I based my Elden Ring character off of

  10. Why does she have a series about her? The only thing she is remembered İsms the tabloid photos some guy sucking her toes.

  11. What a good egg. We need more of this across the board.

  12. Did she… not know that Prince Andrew’s wife was connected to Epstein?

  14. Fregie explained that her emails were in response to epstein directly threatening her and her family. I am inclined to believe her as epstein was a monster. Can’t we extend her some grace? She was financially ruining and likely terrified.

  15. So good to see one of my longtime fave actresses having a spine!

  16. What revelation? We knew about her connection to Epstein for years.

  17. She remains a solid person. Good for her. Intelligent like the women she plays.

  18. I don’t want to be A queen. I want to be THE queen. 🎯

  19. Ugh I feel so bad for this lady, what a terrible coincidence, here’s hoping she gets to be in something else that’s bigger soon.

  20. The British disown those involved with Epstein, the US make them a President. What a world.

  21. They cast Natalie Dormer to play Sarah Ferguson? That’s a stretch.

  22. was I the only person who watched British television via youtube and thought prince Andrew was married to the Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie?
