TV Comedy Actress Roundtable: Selena Gomez, Amy Schumer, Quinta Brunson, Tracee Ellis Ross & More

[@Chuuzus]

Quinta’s growth from Buzzfeed to a genius hollywood comedy actress has been an amazing thing to witness

[@rkms5606]

Actress and producer. Aye! 🙌🏿

[@yellowcrocs9000]

i'm so happy for her and her success!

GeNiUs lmaoo

[@carmen1144]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@danid2702]

She’s inspiring

[@rachelauguste]

I was a bit disappointed that Selena didn’t go the comedic actor route after Disney because I saw that potential in her in Waverly Place. On top of her successful music career, I’m glad she’s exploring this now.

[@YaiwithaY]

I agree! I also saw the potential in her - she can be hilarious

[@adamgroffsson3274]

yeah but she also has the potential to become a big pop star and she did become a big music artist. i guess sometimes you just have to choose. it's hard to do both. i'm glad she's focusing more on acting now. it's not too late she's still so young

[@jackthezoo]

only murders in the building is a pretty comedic role, even though there's also some drama/mystery

[@1amissingno]

I love Tracee Ellis Ross for pushing writers to depict her more than just a setup for the husband's jokes and more than showing her cutting vegetables or cleaning.

Yes!!! Me too. That’s how it should be. Balanced

[@rahullovesthepayne8690]

Selena has been in the industry since she was 7 and now she is almost 30 and for her to be turn into this beautiful, independent woman. I am so proud of her.

[@Chrisratata]

This is my first time taking the time to see her in anything and I'm impressed with how poised her demeanor is. She seems really sweet and intelligent

[@adoringsharon]

yawn......

[@gauravvikalp]

It is so painful to hear Molly’s story. What kind of human calls someone ugly, and that too before a photo shoot. I’m not a violent person but that really got me enraged

[@nikitamohanan2124]

You mean enraged? Or am I missing something and you actually meant engaged? 🤔

[@gauravvikalp]

@@nikitamohanan2124 enraged- I misspelled it Nikita :)

[@danielepaula2915]

the way that everyone at the table reacted - you can see how they were shocked, mad and sad for her.

[@ddacoe0]

I've always thought she was stunning. And I think she's aging very gracefully! It pisses me off that someone would say something so cruel AND UNTRUE!!!! Essentially gaslighting her and causing her to doubt her own beauty!

[@St3phenking13]

Molly Shannon is a damn legend. That woman is a comedic genius. She found her path and she's a legend as far as I'm concerned.

[@HumanCredential]

Quinta’s comments about “be this or don’t exist” is something I have ALWAYS said about how our world feels about women who they don’t find useful (read: obedient and “hot”) and it’s so incredibly refreshing hearing another woman who has a platform using that description.

[@Archihuman]

I think it's just as bad if not worse for men actually, I mean the notion that men float in clouds of privilege is so ingrained in the public discourse, we don't care or even acknowledge that some men are treated very, very poorly too

[@cjtrules1]

@@Archihuman Yes men too but no where near the degree and frequency that women do. This video's comment section is probably not a great place to go commenting "yeah but men too..."

[@cocomalonee]

@@Archihumanmen do face this issue but not nearly to the magnitude and frequency as women

[@Archihuman]

@@cocomalonee I don't know, it's hard to say who has it worse. This is totally anecdotal but I certainly see a lot of lonely men around whom nobody seems to give a s@!t about. I don't think this is a women-speicific issue

After being a Selenator for such a long time, and admiring Selena Gomez my entire life for her kindness, her heart, and for everything that she is doing for the community, It gives me such an immense pleasure to see her being successful and confident. Seeing all this successful women of the industry praise her makes me so proud.. Selena is such an amazing human being and she deserves all the success and love in the world.❤❤

[@tetalj243]

Molly sits in her TRUTH. Of course she knows she's not a model-type, but she found her place within that toxic world based solely on her talent and determination. THAT is what makes her so beautiful...she glows.

[@loveinthematrix]

Yes! She knows her value and she is absolutely beautiful

[@bridget7999]

Makes me so sad hearing Molly's story. I was called ugly in school and it sticks with you. You can still see the pain in her face. Some people have a truly disgusting heart.. how you could say those things to other human beings who did nothing wrong to you is awful. I think Molly is beautiful inside and out.

Hugs Ally. Molly is beautiful and I'm sure you are too ❣️

[@lisatwilley]

I'm not surprised by that awful comment as the world is cruel. However, I take away that Molly didn't make that her 'story' because every time I see her on screen I think how amazing & pretty she is. Molly has real talent & brings me joy before she even speaks!

[@actionforanimals4862]

I replayed that first question and Amy Shumer's reply then Selena Gomez's reply b/c my jaw fell in my lap. That first moment set the tone for how amazing this round table discussion was. The HR is blazing trails with these interviews!! Thanks so much.
