Eva Longoria called Hollywood out this week for not being 'progressive' towards women and people of color. 'You know, people think Hollywood is a liberal, progressive industry, but it’s not,' the 49-year-old 'Desperate Housewives' alum told Grazia magazine in a piece published on Monday. 'It would be great to have gender equity in all positions, we just don’t. We have fewer female directors and fewer Latinos in front of the camera than we did a couple of years ago.
Fox News Digital reached out to Longoria's representatives for further comment. The actress, who is an advocate for women and Latinos, made the same point while promoting 'Flamin’ Hot' at Cannes in 2023. 'I felt the weight of my community, I felt the weight of every female director because we don’t get a lot of bites at the apple,' she told reporters at the time. 'We can’t get a movie every 20 years,' she said.
