Elsie Fisher is speaking out to defend her tweets celebrating Bohemian Rhapsody‘s wins at the 2019 Golden Globe Awards after receiving some backlash.
The 15-year-old actress was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture β Musical or Comedy for her performance in Eighth Grade at the event held on Sunday (January 6) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.
“IM SO HAPPY RAMI MALEK AND BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY WON GOLDEN GLOBES IM THRILLED TONIGHT IS THE BEST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” she wrote.
Later, she tweeted, “Why is everyone being so mean about this? Iβm genuinely sorry if I did something wrong :(”
The backlash was in reference to Bohemian Rhapsody‘s director Bryan Singer‘s sexual misconduct scandal.

Iβll continue to be proud of Rami and the supporting cast because they are incredible, but otherwise I will hold back. Understand this though; there are many problematic people in Hollywood, and as someone who is busy frequently I donβt always have time to keep up. So tell me.
