Alyssa Milano recently sparked controversy by blaming her declining Hollywood career and financial struggles on Elon Musk’s management of Twitter (now X). In a podcast interview, Milano claimed Musk’s unmoderated approach to free speech fueled hate speech, misinformation, and online harassment, creating a toxic environment that has scared away producers and casting directors.
She argued that outspoken celebrities now face professional backlash, with industry leaders avoiding controversial figures due to the fear of online boycotts. Milano also shared her financial difficulties, revealing she has had to reduce her expenses significantly due to fewer acting opportunities.
While some critics accuse Milano of deflecting blame for her career struggles, she remains committed to her activism, despite its personal and professional costs. Her comments have sparked debate, highlighting the tension in Hollywood between personal advocacy and career sustainability.
