Odessa A\u2019zion announces departure from \u2018Deep Cuts\u2019 after criticism\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

American actress Odessa A\u2019zion has announced she has departed the cast of Deep Cuts <\/i>after major backlash.<\/p>\n

The Marty Supreme<\/i> star was cast in the movie adaptation of Holly Brickley\u2019s novel Deep Cuts, <\/i>which will be directed by Sean Durkin, is set to star Drew Starkey and Cailee Spaeny.<\/p>\n

She received criticism for accepting the role of Zoe Gutierrez, who is described in the novel as half-Mexican and half-Jewish, while Odessa herself is white American.<\/p>\n

Netizens commented on the misrepresentation in the movie calling for a Latina actress to play the role.<\/p>\n

Odessa addressed the criticism herself on her Instagram confirming that she did not know the character when she landed the role.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys!! I am with ALL of you and I am NOT doing this movie\u201d, she clarified.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old said she did not know anything about the character and is frustrated herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so pissed y\u2019all, I hadn\u2019t read the book and should have paid more attention to all aspects of Zoe before accepting.\u201d<\/p>\n

She thanked fans for raising voice for the matter and accepted that there are multiple Latina actresses who will play the role better.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
