Ron Perlman Condemns Studio Executives in Explicit Twitter Tirade.
Newly enlisted members of SAG-AFTRA, the renowned Hollywood actors union, demonstrated solidarity this week by joining picket lines alongside the Writers Guild of America amid their ongoing strike. However, one actor, Ron Perlman, took his protest to Twitter.
In a fiery and unapologetic 55-second video posted on Friday, the well-known star of “Sons of Anarchy” expressed his unfiltered thoughts about the studio executives. Perlman reserved his fiercest criticism for an unnamed executive mentioned in a recent Deadline article. This individual commented on the WGA strike, suggesting that the studios intended to prolong the strike until union members faced financial difficulties, potentially losing their homes and apartments.
Addressing the unidentified executive directly, Perlman launched into his Twitter rant, emphasizing that losing a house is not solely a result of foreclosure during an extended strike. He vehemently stated, “Listen to me, motherfucker, there are numerous ways to lose your house – some financial, some karmic, and some involve figuring out who uttered those words – and trust me, we know who that person is – and where he resides.”
Continuing his passionate tirade, Perlman cautioned against wishing hardship upon families. At the same time, the executive in question earned a staggering $27 million annually for what he perceived as a lack of genuine creative contribution. He issued a strong warning, saying, “Be careful, motherfucker. Be careful 'cause that kind of attitude sparks unrest.”
Concluding his message succinctly, Perlman signed off with two words: “Peace out.”
The dynamic actor's words resonated deeply with his colleagues, who cautioned other Twitter users about provoking the “Hellboy” actor.
The strike has arisen from TV and film writers and actors advocating for fair compensation and improved working conditions in light of the evolving streaming era.
