Timothée Chalamet's new GF Eiza González apologizes for wearing Blackface on TV series

Actor and brand new Timothée Chalamet love interest Eiza González is taking heat for appearing on screen in blackface for what she says was the first television role of her career. The Baby Driver star spent 2007 playing Dolores 'Lola' Valente in a Mexican soap opera-esque teen telenovela called Lola: Érase una vez. Screenshots of González in character reveal that showrunners decided that their star should wear blackface at some point during the production. Following the news that González has been romantically linked to Chalamet, photos of the blackface episode surfaced on social media, prompting González to issue an apology.“I am deeply sorry and ashamed about having worn blackface makeup shown in the images circulating,” she told Page Six. “As a 15-year-old child actor on my first job in a Mexican telenovela, I was pressured against my will, and with no negotiating power, I could not advocate for myself in the situation. I wish I had the voice and knowledge then that I have now.” The apology holds some water. At 15 and new to the TV industry, it would be intimidating to speak up — which is why, in Canada, child actors must have a guardian on set if they’re under the age of 16. It’s their job to advocate for underage performers. Where are the apologies from the showrunners, directors, and producers (aka the adults who were in charge)?
