Yesterday, a Hypable reader wrote about remarks some fans had made in regards to Rue’s race.
Today, Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg is responding to the surprising and inappropriate comments.
From Us Magazine:
On Wednesday, Stenberg spoke out on the controversy. “As a fan of the books, I feel fortunate to be part of The Hunger Games family,” she told Us Weekly in a statement. “It was an amazing experience; I am proud of the film and my performance. I want to thank all of my fans and the entire Hunger Games community for their support and loyalty.”
Stenberg gave a safe and appropriate response, choosing to not respond directly to the nonsense.
As you can see on this post, our readers were outraged at the remarks others made.
