Sarah took to Instagram, sharing her thoughts about the whole process.

“I feel f***ing pissed off, and I know I just must not be understanding something,” she started out. “There are like 40 movies being made right now. Movie stars are making movies because they’re independent movies, and SAG is allowing it because if they do sell it to streaming, it has to be because streaming is abiding by all the things we’re asking for. That’s just working.”

Sarah went on, saying that is “the strike ends when they come to the table and we make a deal in agreement…so, you’re just letting people make movies, and movie stars are making movies that you know the goal is to sell them to streaming.”

“When SAG joined the strike, it’s, ‘Movie stars aren’t making movies for you anymore, now what are you going to do?’ Well, they’re making movies. What the f***? I got offered an indie movie, I f***ing said no, and so did a bunch of my friends, and now some of my friends are saying yes. I’m really pissed,” she said, airing out her confusion and grievances about the entire situation.

Sarah then asked, “Please, explain to me why I shouldn’t be angry, because people are making real-deal sacrifices. People, writers, actors, crew people, all these people are sacrificing their livelihood for this cause.”

“It’s called union strong, where we are all together. And when SAG joined the strike, we should see every movie star out there striking along, because you have insurance because of your union and you get residuals because of your union. All of these things you get because of your union and you can’t stand with your union?”

Sarah then said that she’s not sure if she should be “mad at these movie stars making these indie movies that are obviously going to go to streaming” or angry with “SAG for making this interim deal for these indie movies” during the strike.
