Actrice en regisseuse Amy Seimetz beticht Upstream Color-filmer Shane Carruth van misbruik
Pet Sematary-actrice en indieregisseuse Amy Seimetz heeft haar ex-vriend Shane Carruth beschuldigd van jarenlang emotioneel en fysiek misbruik en een tijdelijk contactverbod aangevraagd. Seimetz en Carruth speelden samen in zijn film Upstream Color.
Het nieuws kwam aan het licht nadat Carruth een foto van de Upstream Color-soundtrack deelde op Twitter, waarop een deel van het contactverbod zichtbaar is.
Volgens sommigen probeert Carruth de aandacht af te leiden van Seimetz’ nieuwe film She Dies Tomorrow, die in de Verenigde Staten vanaf 31 juli te zien is in de bioscoop en vanaf 7 augustus op video-on-demand.
Seimetz krijgt alvast de steun van heel wat filmjournalisten op Twitter. Bekijk Carruths tweet en enkele reacties van filmjournalisten hieronder:

💁♀️ TV options? Of course! She also co-created THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE (and wrote and directed many eps), and that’s all on Hulu and Starz! More? Oh, you! How about two episodes of ATLANTA that she directed? “Helen” and “Champagne Papi,” both from season two, on FX! 🍾

this is sickening, made worse because Carruth seems to have made it public in an attempt to sabotage the release of Seimetz’s movie https://t.co/iAejzhDEkJ

Her name is Amy Seimetz, and she’s a wonderful director-actor-writer. I hope she’s safe and surrounded by support. This is a horrifying ordeal, and I’m sorry she now has to deal with this under the public eye. https://t.co/5TjqNAZP3a

Over the last decade, actor-writer-director Amy Seimetz has proven herself as one of our great storytelling talents both in front of the camera and behind it. Her new film She Dies Tomorrow (out Friday) is a brilliantly unnerving, horribly timely movie. Please retweet.

Amy Seimetz is an amazing multi-hyphenate actor and director and writer and producer and editor. Her latest movie is out soon ❤️https://t.co/HzRU3EWohx

Months afterwards I remain truly haunted by SHE DIES TOMORROW, a film so uniquely and personally pitched that its sorrow and pessimism somehow became inseparable from my own. Also it’s exquisitely constructed and acted, and stealthily funny. Seek it out this week, please. pic.twitter.com/dldD4nnnIj
