“There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and find them offensive.”
While she mentioned that certain elements in the series were never intentional, the sensitivity in this culture has increased a lot, especially in this era.
“There were things that were never intentional and others… well, we should have thought it through – but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now.”

Her upcoming film, Murder Mystery 2 will be released on Netflix on March 31, 2023.
