Quote from the article:

"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. That’s Natalie’s right. I hope everyone who is rightfully shunning Sarah Ferguson has the same energy for Prince Andrew.

  3. Natalie is such an incredible actress in these types of shows. It’s too bad her hard work has to go down the drain but I support her stance

  5. I can’t be the only one who is marveling at how Andrew and Sarah York are literally the ONLY people on the planet catching real smoke for their Epstein ties.

    Not any of the other Royals like *cough* Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway.

    Not any powerful US politicians… like a former president and a current sitting one.

    What gives?🤷🏾

  6. >“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.”

    I don’t understand the point tbh, especially when worded like this, Fergie wasn’t a moral character before last week or before she took the project, even if you exonerate her from the Epstein link (which you have to be very naive to) there was always the Andrew link, she never denounced Andrew and she always continued to stand by his side and live with him, so wording it as “new information has come to light that makes it impossible for me to reconcile my values with Sarah Ferguson’s behavior” is weird, because her values were okay with everything before the email was released?

  7. I bet the book deals are next if she hasn’t been axed already

  8. People acting like this new information is at all a surprise?

    Nah.

  9. I think this is weird. She was playing Fergie, not sponsoring or endorsing her. I wonder what kind of approach they took, because it’s not like Fergie had an immaculate reputation that was just shattered. She’s been controversial for a long time and I doubted she was portrayed as a saint. Also, the events of the show seem completely disconnected to the Epstein affair. I wonder if they made any reference that could justify this sort of rebuff.

  10. Excellent. I’m glad to see some people have a moral compass and a backbone.
