Saudi Arabia's First Male Robot Acting An Ass ... Touches Woman's Butt!!!

Published | Updated

Saudi Arabia's first humanoid male robot inappropriately touched a female reporter's butt at an event introducing him to the world ... and the cringe-y interaction is all on video.

The AI robot, named Muhammad, got caught on camera pulling a pretty pervy earlier this week in Riyadh, at something called DeepFest ... which is an AI get-together where people gather to talk tech, artificial intelligence and noteworthy breakthroughs.

Muhammad was supposed to be on the of standouts at this function -- but he ended up making a splash for all the wrong reasons. As you can see, the bot tried copping a feel.

It was standing on a platform behind TV journalist Rawya Kassem -- when it slowly moves its right arm towards her, attempting to touch her booty in the middle of her report ... and seemingly making contact.

Rawya turns back and motions at the robot to back off ... shooting the robot a nasty glare before continuing on with her report. The robot already looks super real, resembling a man wearing a long gown below a red and white keffiyeh ... making this all the more creepy.

Doesn't look like Muhammad's handlers answered for this in terms of the why. Funny enough -- some defended the bot, suggesting it was a glitch, and not a conscious decision.

J.K. Rowling Es reportada a la policía Por faltarle el respeto a una presentadora trans

Published | Updated

J.K. Rowling fue denunciada a la policía por la presentadora británica India Willoughby, quien afirma que JKR la ha insultado repetidamente en medio de una disputa en redes.

India, la ex concursante de "Celebrity Big Brother" que es una mujer transgénero, habló con Byline TV sobre el tema, afirmando que logró involucrar a la policía de Northumbria, luego de que J.K. se refiriera constantemente a ella como un hombre a pesar de que su estatus legal es el de una mujer.

Según ella, el hecho de que J.K. se refiera a ella como un hombre constituye un delito en el Reino Unido y podría violar la Ley de Igualdad y la Ley de Reconocimiento de Género. India también insinúa que esto podría calificarse como un delito de odio, pero como mínimo, piensa que es un caso de comunicaciones maliciosas.

Variety informa que la policía de Northumbria está a la espera y lista para tener una conversación con la autora sobre todo este calvario, pero no se sabe si J.K. va a hacerlo.

Mientras tanto, J.K. ya ha respondido, diciendo que ya consultó con un abogado que no solo considera que tiene un caso sólido contra India por difamación, sino que el hecho de que India la señale constantemente en Internet podría calificarse de acoso, por lo que está pensando en emprender acciones legales por su cuenta.

J.K. añade: "Consciente como soy de que es un delito mentirle a las fuerzas de la ley, simplemente tendré que explicarle a la policía que, en mi opinión, India es un ejemplo clásico de un narcisista masculino que vive en un estado de rabia perpetua por no poder obligar a las mujeres a aceptarle en su propia valoración".

Por supuesto, Rowling se ha enfrentado a un montón de reacciones negativas por sus polémicos comentarios sobre las personas transgénero. Muchos la han calificado de "TERF" (feminista radical transexcluyente) y la han tachado de intolerante e incluso algunos miembros del reparto de "Harry Potter" se han distanciado de ella.

J.K. ha dicho abiertamente que no le quita el sueño el cómo la recuerden en el futuro. ¿La razón? Simple y claro: "Estaré muerta".

Natalie Portman Se divorcia discretamente de Benjamin Millepied ... Ya está finiquitado

Published

Natalie Portman no solo ya solicitó el divorcio de su marido de más de una década, sino que el caso ya está resuelto, según ha confirmado TMZ.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que un informe de People Mag, que dice que Natalie y Benjamin Millepied pusieron fin a su divorcio en Francia, es correcto ... Así que sí, ya no están casados y oficialmente solteros a los ojos de la ley en Europa.

Todavía no hay detalles sobre lo que implica este acuerdo de divorcio, esto es, la custodia y manutención de sus dos hijos, la manutención del cónyuge, la división de bienes, etc.

Todo lo que sabemos con certeza es que Natalie es una mujer soltera, lo que es un desarrollo sorprendente teniendo en cuenta que ella y Ben han estado en el centro de los chismes desde hace más de un año, en medio de las acusaciones de infidelidad por parte de él, que todavía no han sido abordadas.

Sin embargo, el hecho de que Natalie se divorciara del chico parece dar cierta credibilidad a las conjeturas. La actriz también ha estado paseando sola por Estados en medio de la temporada de premios de los últimos meses.

Por si no están familiarizados, se ha rumoreado que Ben habría tenido una aventura con la activista climática Camille Etienne en 2023.

Varios medios de comunicación informaron que Natalie y Ben se separaron debido a esa supuesta infidelidad, pero la pareja nunca lo ha confirmado o negado oficialmente.

Ella recientemente dijo que se había mudado a París con sus hijos mientras se desarrollaba todo este lío y el divorcio se tramitó en los tribunales franceses. También hemos confirmado que Natalie y Ben, de hecho, se separaron el año pasado y, claramente, terminaron su matrimonio tras bambalinas.

La pareja fue bastante privada con su relación desde que se casaron en 2012 en Big Sur, California. Se conocieron en 2009 durante el rodaje del "Cisne Negro" y Benjamin dejó a su novia del momento para estar con Natalie. Él también es bailarín y coreógrafo.

Natalie Portman y Benjamin Millepied estuvieron casados 11 años. Ellos comparten dos hijos: Aleph, de 12 años, y Amalia, de 6 años.

No se sabe si había un acuerdo prenupcial o no, pero podemos imaginar que puede haber sido el caso.

J.K. ROWLING Reported to U.K. Cops Allegedly Misgendered Broadcaster

Published | Updated

J.K. Rowling has been reported to the police by British broadcaster India Willoughby ... who claims JKR has repeatedly misgendered her online as part of an ongoing online beef.

India -- the ex-"Celebrity Big Brother" contestant who's a transgender woman -- spoke to Byline TV regarding the issue ... claiming she's gotten Northumbria Police involved, as she says J.K. has consistently referred to her as a man despite her legal status as a woman.

She says J.K.'s alleged repeated misgendering constitutes a crime in the U.K. -- suggesting it violates the Equalities Act and Gender Recognition Act. India also hints this could possibly qualify as a hate crime ... but at the very least, thinks it's a malicious communications case.

Variety reports that Northumbria Police are on standby, ready to have a chat with the author about this whole ordeal ... but no word on whether J.K.'s gonna play ball.

Meanwhile, J.K.'s already fired back ... saying she's already consulted a lawyer who not only reckons she has a solid case against IW for defamation, but says India constantly targeting J.K. online might qualify as harassment -- so she's mulling legal action of her own.

J.K. adds, "Aware as I am that it's an offense to lie to law enforcement, I'll simply have to explain to the police that, in my view, India is a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can't compel women to take him at his own valuation."

Of course, Rowling's faced a ton of backlash for her controversial remarks about transgender folks. She's been called out as a "TERF" (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and labeled a bigot by many -- some of the 'HP' cast have even distanced themselves from her.

J.K. has straight-up said she's not losing any sleep over how the world will remember her once she's gone. Her reason? Simple and to the point ... "I'll be dead."

Natalie Portman Quietly Divorced Benjamin Millepied ... Already Finalized

Published | Updated

Natalie Portman has not only already filed to divorce her husband of over a decade -- but the whole case is already settled in the books ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us a report from People Mag -- which says Natalie and Benjamin Millepied have finalized their divorce in France -- is accurate ... so yes, they're no longer married and officially single in the eyes of the law there in Europe.

There are no details just yet about what the divorce settlement entails -- including custody and child support of their two children ... ditto for spousal support, division of assets, etc.

All we know for sure is that Natalie is unattached -- which is a stunning development considering she and Ben have been at the center of gossip and speculation for well over a year now ... this amid allegations of infidelity on his part, which has gone unaddressed.

The fact Natalie divorced the guy, however, seems to lend some credence to the conjecture. She was also rolling solo here in the States for award shows of late.

If you're unfamiliar ... Ben is reported to have had a fling with climate activist Camille Etienne in 2023.

Several media outlets reported Natalie and Ben separated as a result of the alleged cheating -- but the couple never confirmed or denied on the record.

She recently said she'd relocated to Paris with their children as this whole mess unfolded -- and the divorce was handled in French courts. We've also confirmed that Natalie and Ben did, in fact, separate last year ... and clearly, they ended their marriage behind the scenes.

They were pretty private about their relationship since tying the knot in 2012 in Big Sur, CA -- although the 2 met in 2009 during the filming of "Black Swan," and Benjamin left his girlfriend at the time to be with Natalie instead. He's a dancer/choreographer himself, BTW.

NP and BM were married for 11 years. They share 12-year-old Aleph and 6-year-old Amalia.

No word on whether there was a prenup or not ... but ya gotta figure there might've been.

'NAKED and AFRAID' BLOOD-FILLED LEECHES ON MENU ... Extreme Survival Mode!!!

Published | Updated

"Naked & Afraid" keeps hitting new milestones ... this time it's a starving contestant driven to munch on leeches that were trying to munch on her, and the footage ain't for the weak!

The jaw-dropping survival tactic is goes down on Sunday's episode of the Discovery Channel hit -- Sarah Barnett's instincts kick into gear while wading through croc-filled water for food, and suddenly opting to turn the tables on the blood-bloated suckers.

Sarah fearlessly peels several wriggling leeches from her leg, gathering just enough to keep her hunger at bay and feed her partner, Sam Strong, in their battle for survival in the unforgiving wilds of South Africa's Black Hills.

Of course, Sarah's not aiming for Michelin stars here, she's just focused on staying alive -- as you can see when she bravely chomps down on one of those suckers ... seared over their campfire.

Sarah very nonchalantly informs Sam about the extreme menu item, telling him blood burst into her mouth when she bit into the leech.

While she has zero gag reflex, poor Sam feels the squeeze just watching Sarah chow down ... and decides to give it a hard pass, despite being absolutely ravenous.

Hey, everyone has a limit, even on "Naked and Afraid."

These California natives won't just be battling leeches; they're also dodging man-eating crocodiles, prowling lions, and venomous snakes during their 21-day survival challenge.

Survival of the fittest -- or in this case, the hungriest!

Megan Thee Stallion I Only Rap About 🐍, Not Drink 'Em!!! Taps Out After Sip of Snake

SSSOMETHING DIFFERENT

Megan Thee Stallion's snake-driven campaign slithered away with a whimper when she met face-to-face with the real deal ... a bottle of alcohol with a dead snake stuffed inside!!!

The rapper is currently turning heads during a trip out in Japan that tested her "Fear Factor" meter -- this after she sampled Habushu, a traditionally super strong liquor native to Okinawa.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Apparently, it's powered by poison ... the local Habu snake is said to ferment inside the container to age as long as possible -- which makes for one hell of a boozy drink.

Welp, Meg dove in without hesitation and asked if the potion would send her to the morgue -- but she didn't chicken out ... taking a sip of the concoction, but not really liking it much.

Meg took a little slurp of the Habushu -- but this time around, she didn't drive the boat too far ... docking and anchoring her experience, saying the drink was too strong for her liking. Can't blame her ... drinking dead snake, even for a buzz, doesn't sound pleasant at all.

It's pretty funny ... Meg topped the Billboard Hot 100 a few weeks back with her single "Hiss" -- which was the follow-up to another reptilian record "Cobra." But, when it comes to the real McCoy ... she isn't into it, it seems.

Serpent juice ... it ain't for everyone.

United Airlines Look Out Below!!! Tire Flies Off Boeing Jet, Smashes into Cars

Published | Updated

United Airlines left its mark on San Francisco when one of its flights took off Thursday ... and almost immediately lost one of its tires, which came crashing down on parked cars at SFO Airport.

Collateral Damage

Video captured the moment the Boeing 777 took off bound for Osaka, Japan with 249 passengers aboard -- before the jumbo jet's landing gear retracted into the fuselage, the massive tire flew loose right above an SFO employee parking lot.

HEADS UP!

Thankfully, no one was injured on the ground, but there was plenty of damage to some vehicles.

As for the damaged plane, United says it landed safely at LAX, mainly because it's a 777, which has 6 tires on each of its 2 main landing gear struts. The airline says it's designed to land safely with missing or damaged tires.

Once it was on the ground, United moved all the passengers to a new aircraft for the next leg of the flight ... which is heading to Osaka Thursday evening.

While there were no casualties from this incident, it's still concerning from the standpoint of it being yet another issue with a Boeing aircraft. You'll recall, the door blew off a Boeing 737, operated by Alaska Airlines, 2 months ago -- leading to a temporary grounding of all 737 Max 9s.

SHARP DECLINE IN QUALITY

Some ex-Boeing employees have come forward, claiming the company has been cutting corners, safety-wise, in its manufacturing plants -- with one former quality manager telling us on "TMZ Live" he wouldn't put his own family on a 737 Max 9.

Escuela en Oklahoma Alumnos lamiendo los pies de otras personas... ¡¿Pasó también en otra esuela?!

Published | Updated

La escuela secundaria de Oklahoma que está bajo la lupa por permitir que sus estudiantes lamieran los pies de sus compañeros en el marco de una recaudación de fondos, al parecer no estaba sola, ¡acaban de aparecer videos de otra escuela que estaba haciendo lo mismo!

Nuevos clips están circulando en las redes que muestran a los estudiantes de la escuela vecina Edmond-North High, justo al final de la calle, chupando los dedos de los pies de otras personas en videos que se remontan al 2015.

De cabeza en la tarea

No solo eso, resulta que estos muestran a los estudiantes lamiendo las axilas también.

Estos videos sugieren que Deer Creek High -la primera escuela donde se destapó esta información- no era la única institución educativa en la ciudad que estaba participando en estas extrañas actividades.

La gente que ha estado siguiendo la historia sigue en pie de guerra con todo el asunto, etiquetando lo ocurrido de repugnante y de estar mucho más allá de lo inapropiado.

Deer Creek High negó que se haya cometido algún delito y dijo en un comunicado que los estudiantes se ofrecieron a hacer esta actividad e insistieron en que ningún miembro de la facultad estuvo involucrado. Lo que sí podemos decir, es que el truco de lamer ha demostrado ser una muy eficaz para recaudar fondos, pues la escuela afirma haber reunido más de $150K para una organización benéfica local cuando se hizo el evento.

El Superintendente del Estado de Oklahoma Ryan Walters probablemente no piensa lo mismo, pues ha puesto en marcha una investigación, al mismo tiempo que promete limpiar la "indecencia" en las escuelas de Oklahoma. Suena como que podría tener que poner manos a la obra y hablar con todas las escuelas en su área local.

Oklahoma H.S. Fundraiser Students Licking Toes, Etc. Happened at Another School?!?

Published | Updated

The Oklahoma high school under fire for a fundraiser that had students licking their peers' toes apparently wasn't alone  ... videos of another high school doing the same have surfaced.

New clips have started to make the rounds online that show students from a neighboring high school right down the street -- Edmond-North High -- that show their own pupils using their mouths to slurp up peanut butter off the feet of others ... with videos going back to 2015.

Not just this ... but as it turns out, these videos show students licking up armpits as well.

These videos suggest Deer Creek High -- the original school that was revealed to have done this -- wasn't the only educational institution in town that was partaking in the bizarre activity.

Folks who've been following this story continue to be up in arms over the situation -- labeling the whole thing disgusting and going well beyond inappropriate.

Deer Creek High previously denied any wrongdoing ... saying in a statement that students volunteered to do this activity and insisting no faculty members were involved. FWIW, the licking stunt has proven to be an effective fundraising tool -- as the school claims to have raised more than $150K for a local charity when they did this.

The answer is probably no for Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters -- who has launched an investigation, while vowing to clean up the "filth" in Oklahoma schools. Sounds like he might need to make the rounds and talk to all of the schools in his local area.

New Jersey H.S. Basketball Refs Screw Up Buzzer-Beater Call ... But Can't Fix It!!!

Published

Referees from a New Jersey high school playoff basketball contest are admitting they messed up big time ... saying they wrongfully called off a buzzer-beating bucket at the end of a game -- but they can't do anything about it.

The controversy happened at the New Jersey Sports Interscholastic Athletic Association Group 2 semifinal game between the Camden Panthers and the Manasquan Warriors on Tuesday ... a matchup that came down to the wire.

The Panthers were up by 1 with just under 6 seconds left ... and after Warriors hooper Rey Weinseimer missed a 3-pointer, his teammate Griffin Linstra was positioned perfectly and nailed a put-back right before the clock hit zeros.

Warriors win, right?! That's what everyone in the gym thought ... but after a quick meeting, referees waived off the shot -- reversing the outcome.

The call was shocking, considering footage clearly shows time on the clock (.4 seconds) when the ball left Linstra's hand ... and the officials' mistake robbed the Warriors of advancing to the championship game.

The NJSIAA confirmed the refs were wrong ... but rejected Manasquan's appeal regardless, claiming they could not change the final score.

"So while the officiating crews' reports indicate that a post-game review of footage of the play in question convinced them that the basket should have counted, the results could not then and cannot now be changed," NJSIAA said.

"These are the rules of the game that all schools agree to follow, and which have been upheld on appeal. We apologize to the Manasquan team for the error."

The organization explained because the refs left the "visual confines of the playing court," the outcome was set in stone.

As you can imagine, Manasquan head coach Andrew Bilodeau was furious ... not only for his players -- but the Panthers as well.

"My heart for our kids but it also hurts for Camden. I hate to see their win be tarnished with any controversy. No kids deserve that."

Camden will play Arts High School for the Group 2 title on Saturday at Rutgers University ... where officials will hopefully be on their A game.

Hombre desnudo Se mete al tanque de agua de Burger King... Todo bien, dice la compañía

Espectáculo en un Burger King

Un hombre de Colombia encontró la forma de darse un baño de cuerpo entero en un lugar muy particular, sacándose la ropa y sumergiéndose en un tanque de agua de Burger King.

Un testigo filmó la escena en video, donde se puede ver al tipo saliendo de un contenedor gigante en la parte superior de un Burger King en Envigado, al sur de Medellín. Eso sí, esto sucedió a plena luz del día y el hombre iba por el techo completamente desnudo.

Luego de zambullirse completamente en el agua y salir del tanque, se lo puede ver relajándose un poco en el borde como si no fuera la gran cosa. Por supuesto, esto asustó a los clientes, quienes pensaron que el hombre estaba nadando en agua que Burger King realmente utiliza en sus labores diarias de alguna manera.

Afortunadamente, la compañía se apresuró en decirle a todos que no había riesgo de contaminación aquí. Dicen que estos tanques son solo reservas y no se utilizan en la preparación de alimentos o limpieza de las instalaciones.

Dicho esto, no están tomando ningún riesgo. Burger King cerró temporalmente esta ubicación y trajo a una empresa especializada para manejar el saneamiento y tratamiento del agua.

Más vale prevenir que curar, ¿verdad?

Burger King ha tomado medidas adicionales para evitar que este tipo de cosas vuelvan a ocurrir, sellando el acceso al techo para asegurarse de que esto no se repita.

En su comunicado dijeron: "Nuestra clientela puede estar segura de que esto fue un hecho aislado que lamentamos profundamente y no afecta a la calidad de nuestros productos de ninguna manera, ya que no utilizamos el agua de dicho tanque para nuestras operaciones".

Burger King añadió: "Nuestra principal preocupación siempre ha sido y será el bienestar de nuestros clientes". Hasta el momento, la identidad del buzo de la azotea de Burger King sigue sin resolverse y tampoco está claro si la policía está tratando de perseguirlo.

Aunque los tanques de agua no estén en las operaciones reales de Burger King, la óptica de esto, obviamente, no se ve bien.

NAKED MAN BATHES IN BURGER KING WATER TANK ... Co. Says It's All Kosher!!!

HAVIN' IT HIS WAY

A Colombian dude had it his way when he decided to take a full-body soak -- stripping down to his birthday suit ... and plunging into a Burger King water tank on the roof.

An eyewitness recently filmed this wild footage on camera ... and you can see the naked dude emerging from a giant container atop a BK in Envigado, just south of Medellín. Mind you this happened in broad daylight ... and yes, the man here was completely naked.

He chills on the edge for a bit like it's no big deal ... this before completely exiting the water tank and lowering himself down. Of course, this sight freaked customers out ... as they assumed he was swimming in water that this Burger King actually used in some capacity.

Thankfully, Burger King was quick to reassure everyone there was no risk of contamination here ... they say these tanks are just reserves and not used in food prep or facility cleaning.

With that said ... they're not taking any chances. BK temporarily closed this location and they're also bringing in a specialized company to handle the water sanitation and treatment.

Better safe than sorry, right?

Burger King has taken extra measures to prevent this sort of thing from happening again --sealing off roof access to make sure the skinny dipper doesn't stage a repeat performance.

They said this in their statement ... "Our clientele can rest assured that this was an isolated event, which we deeply regret, and does not affect the quality of our products in any way as we do not use the water from said tank for our operations."

BK added ... "Our primary concern has always been and will always be the wellbeing of our customers." So far, the identity of the Burger King rooftop diver remains unsolved ... and it's also unclear if the cops are trying to chase him down.

While the water tanks aren't in the mix of the actual Burger King operations ... the optics of this are obviously not good. Talk about a Whopper of a disaster.

Super Tuesday Voter Not Voting Nikki Haley for Prez ... She Ain't Got No Balls!!!

Published | Updated

A Super Tuesday voter has gone viral for his explicit explanation of why Nikki Haley shouldn't be president -- according to him, it's 'cause she' is missing a scrotum.

Check out this video that features a North Carolina resident -- identified as Emmett Martin -- confessing to NBC News that he never even considered the former governor of South Carolina as a candidate over the simple fact that she's a woman.

The way he puts it is pretty rich in misogyny ... he says, she "has no balls to scratch."

Emmett says that since the ex-Gov. didn't have male private parts ... she shouldn't be a contender in the Republican primary race. We're not sure what genitalia has to do with running a country ... but it's clearly important to this constituent.

BTW, it isn't just Nikki that the voter disapproved of ... it's all women, apparently who he said are only good for "having babies and taking care of the house."

He did backtrack slightly -- suggesting that there are women out there who know what they’re doing ... but added they need a bit of guidance from someone like Donald Trump.

Shaquille Brewster -- the correspondent who interviewed Emmett ... said this isn't the first time that voters have told him they wouldn't vote for Nikki based on her gender. However, it is the first time the response was so bluntly said on camera.

Nikki is the only Republican primary candidate left running against Trump -- who is seeking reelection after losing to President Joe Biden in 2020. Although ... her bid for the nomination isn't promising since Trump has 200 more delegates than her.

DAKOTA JOHNSON SWEARS OFF FILMS LIKE 'MADAME WEB' ... Never Again After Flop!!!

Published | Updated

Dakota Johnson's putting her foot down and swearing off any movie projects similar to "Madame Web" -- this after the flick sensationally crashed and burned at the box office.

The actress kept it real about the Marvel flick not being her cup of tea ... explaining to Bustle, "It was definitely an experience for me to make that movie. I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don’t make sense in that world."

Dakota adds, "It's not nice to be a part of something that’s ripped to shreds, but I can’t say that I don’t understand."

She goes on to reveal why the movie saw the fate it did ... explaining actors frequently get hyped for a project, but then when they're knee-deep in filming -- it turns into something totally unexpected. That's exactly what went down with "Madame Web," according to her.

DJ's also pinning the movie's failure on how the industry works ... explaining the whole movie-making process ain't all glitz and glam, but rather a complicated web of decisions made by committees, who don't know much about the art of filmmaking itself. Yeah, it's a mouthful.

She says execs at the top severely underestimate just how savvy viewers really are ... which leads them to miss the mark with their latest Hollywood projects, including this one.

FWIW ... the 'MW' numbers didn't lie ... the running total for its six-day opening holiday weekend -- beginning Valentine's Day and ending on President's Day -- barely scraped together $25.8 million domestically and fared pretty much the same globally.

It was so panned by fans and critics alike ... even Sydney Sweeney made fun of it during her opening 'SNL' stint ... joking that nobody saw it. Tough break, for sure.

existential crisis averted

One thing's for sure, the movie had no superhero of its own to swoop in and save the day at the box office -- not even Dakota AKA Cassandra Webb ... who BTW hasn't seen the movie herself!

Just like she was on her press run ... Dakota remains unbothered.

Dakota Johnson Le dice adiós a películas como "Madame Web" Nunca más tras el fracaso

Published

Dakota Johnson acaba de decidir que no realizará ningún proyecto cinematográfico similar a "Madame Web", después de que la película fuera un fracaso absoluto en la taquilla.

La actriz fue muy realista al decir que la película de Marvel no era lo suyo, explicando a Bustle: "Definitivamente fue una experiencia para mí. Nunca había hecho nada parecido. Probablemente, nunca vuelva a hacer nada parecido porque no encajo en ese mundo".

Dakota añade: "No es agradable formar parte de algo que se hace pedazos, pero no puedo decir que no lo entienda".

Dakota continúa revelando por qué la película tuvo el destino que tuvo, explicando que los actores a menudo se entusiasman con un proyecto, pero luego cuando están inmersos en el rodaje se convierte en algo totalmente inesperado. Eso es exactamente lo que pasó con "Madame Web", según ella.

Dakota Johnson también achaca el fracaso de la película a la forma en que funciona la industria, diciendo que todo el proceso de creación de películas no es puro glamour, sino más bien una complicada red de decisiones tomadas por los comités, que no saben mucho sobre el arte de la cinematografía en sí. Sí, es un gran comentario.

Dice que los altos ejecutivos subestiman gravemente cuánto saben los espectadores, lo que los lleva a errar el tiro con sus últimos proyectos de Hollywood, incluido este.

Lo que es importante decir, es que los números de "Madame Web" no mienten, en sus seis días de apertura, que coincidieron con un fin de semana festivo, comenzando en San Valentín y terminando el Día de los Presidentes, apenas rozó los 25,8 millones de dólares a nivel nacional y le fue más o menos igual a nivel mundial.

Fue tan criticada por los fans y la crítica que incluso Sydney Sweeney se burló de ella durante su actuación en "Saturday Night Live", bromeando con que nadie la había visto. Mala suerte, sin duda.

021624_dakota_johnson-kal 2/16/24
Crisis existencial superada

¡Una cosa es segura, la película no tenía un superhéroe propio que pudiera salvar la taquilla, ni siquiera Dakota, alias Cassandra Webb, que por cierto no ha visto su propia película!

Tal como estaba durante su rueda de prensa, Dakota sigue sin complicarse.
