'She-Hulk' star slams Tom Selleck, Michael Jordan as 'cowardly' for avoiding political talk

"She-Hulk" star Tatiana Maslany accused celebrities like Tom Selleck and Michael Jordan on Monday of behaving "cowardly" for not using their fame to push politics.Joining Mehdi Hasan on his podcast "We're Not Kidding with Mehdi & Friends," the Marvel TV actress was praised for her past support for the "Free Palestine" movement and accusing Israel of committing a "genocide" in Gaza.Maslany said that she believed it was her job as an artist to address political issues."To me, artists are like mirrors to the world, to society," Maslany said.

"We have to name things, whether it's emotional mirroring to people the human experience or it's speaking out or it's naming something.It's like such an important, intrinsic part of our job."MS RACHEL SAYS BACKLASH OVER HER GAZA POSTS 'DOESN'T FAZE' HER AS SHE CALLS OUT CELEBRITY SILENCETatiana Maslany addressed celebrities who chose not to discuss politics on Mehdi Hasan's podcast.
