Actors slam 'Hacks' star's Emmy speech as 'vulgar' ignorance
Some actors criticized "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder for what they called "inflammatory and disturbing" remarks during her acceptance speech at the 2025 Emmy Awards on Sunday night.While accepting her award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the HBO Max show, Einbinder ended her remarks by saying, "F--- ICE and free Palestine!"After the show, Einbinder defended her comments, saying she spoke as a Jewish person on behalf of Palestinians."I feel it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel because our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing, basically, institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state," Einbinder said.THE EMMYS DOESN'T TOUCH ASSASSINATION OF CONSERVATIVE CHAMPION CHARLIE KIRKFellow Emmy-winning Jewish actor Yuval David disagreed, however, calling her comments ignorant of both Israeli history and the ongoing war."Hannah Einbinders Emmy speech was a performance of ignorance, not courage," David said in a statement on Tuesday. "She said nothing about peace, nothing about ending the war, and nothing about the hostages still suffering in Gaza. To claim Jews can be separated from Israel is an insult to our history and faith, as more than seven million Jews live there and every Jew in the world faces Israel when we pray."He continued, "Prayers and philosophies about the Land of Israel exist throughout every facet of Judaism. For thousands of years, we refer to our collective as the nation of Israel. If Hannah truly cares about justice, she should come to Israel, look Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the eye, and see how peace is achieved in front of her own eyes."COLBERT WINS EMMY FOR 'LATE SHOW' AFTER CANCELLATION, SAYS HE LOVES HIS COUNTRY MORE THAN EVERDereck Andrade, a SAG-AFTRA member and former strike gate captain during the 2023 actors union strike, wrote to the union asking if Einbinder could face disciplinary action after her Emmy remarks.The letter, provided to Fox News Digital, asked the union whether there will be any disciplinary action regarding what he called Einbinders "inflammatory and disturbing comments.""As a SAG-AFTRA member, I take great umbrage in her comments that could potentially create more deadly violence," Andrade wrote. "While I fully respect her right to her opinions, I do not agree with her comments. She has sullied my union because many people falsely believe that all we union actors are left-wing extremists bent on violence. She just added unnecessary fuel to that fire, and placed a target on me as a SAG actor."He added that he filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after he learned that her "vulgar diatribe" was watched by more than 7 million people, according to Nielsen data.JANE FONDA DEFENDS 'WOKE' AT SAG AWARDS, RALLIES HOLLYWOOD TO 'RESIST' TRUMPFox News Digital reached out to SAG-AFTRA and Einbinder for comment.Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin also condemned Einbinders remarks, saying they denigrated Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"How ugly such demonization is inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement, who are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them," McLaughlin said in a statement. "As this woman fans the flames of hatred, our brave law enforcement will continue enforcing the rule of law and protecting Americans."Einbinder's remarks were well-received at the ceremony, however. The crowd loudly cheered the comments.
