Known for her roles on The Good Wife and The Morning Show, Margulies faced swift backlash for her remarks. Many were quick to condemn her for supposedly sowing division by making such inflammatory statements. After the fallout, the actress issued an apology, clarifying that she did not intend to stir the pot and cause further division. She emphasized that she abhors racism, homophobia, and any form of prejudice, and professed her love and respect for all communities.
The actress’s comments on The Back Room with Andy Ostroy sparked an even bigger firestorm, as she called out the black community for allegedly not standing in solidarity with the Jewish community and hurled criticism at young LGBT individuals for their support of Gaza. Her remarks were perceived as insensitive and offensive, leading to widespread condemnation.
Taking to Instagram, Margulies attempted to contain the damage by sharing a statement, expressing her profound love for the Jewish community and imploring anyone affected by antisemitism to remember the resilience and strength of Jewish people. She depicted being Jewish as something magical and miraculous, despite the hurt and outrage her words had caused.
This incident places Margulies among a string of celebrities who have had to backpedal on their remarks related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Notably, actress Susan Sarandon faced a similar predicament when she made comments minimizing the history of antisemitism at a New York protest, leading to an apology and repercussions from her talent agency. The drama continues to unfold as public figures navigate the sensitive topic of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
