In a hilarious, jaw-dropper of a comment for those who are fed up with Hollywood’s woke movies and the far-left impulse behind them, “Desperate Housewives” star and current film producer and director Eva Longoria alleged that Hollywood is not being “progressive” and “liberal” enough, namely in terms of giving opportunities to women and people of color.

That comment came when Longoria, now 49 years old, space to Grazia magazine in an interview piece published on Monday, June 24. She said, “You know, people think Hollywood is a liberal, progressive industry, but it’s not.”

Continuing, she alleged that there isn’t “gender equity,” saying, “It would be great to have gender equity in all positions, we just don’t. We have fewer female directors and fewer Latinos in front of the camera than we did a couple of years ago. So, we’re actually going in the wrong direction, even though the perception is that we’re doing so great.”

She then claimed that women don’t get enough opportunities compared to men, saying, “Women are still not getting the same opportunities as our male counterparts. What we do [in the industry] matters, it can change culture and, when you change culture, you can change policy, perception. You can change a lot of things with storytelling.”

She then spoke about her own post-“Desperate Housewives” career as a producer, saying, “I like producing with purpose. I want to tell stories for my Latine community. We have a lot of heroes, things to say, an amazing talent pool of storytellers. It’s refreshing and innovative — in an industry that keeps going to the same writers and creators for the same stories — to have a different perspective and point of view, because it changes everything, makes it more interesting, more relevant.”

She added, commenting on her show “Land Of Women, “I wanted to work in Spain and asked him to write me a show set in wine country. I told him a wish list of what I was looking for in a show and he came up with ‘Land Of Women.’ Apple bought it straight away and we went into production.”

Making similar claims about “equity” when producing the ridiculous movie “Flamin’ Hot,” which is about Cheetos, she said, “I felt the weight of my community, I felt the weight of every female director because we don’t get a lot of bites at the apple.” She added, “We can’t get a movie every 20 years. So the problem is if this movie fails, people go, ‘Oh, Latino stories don’t work.’ ‘Oh, female directors really don’t cut it.’” She then said, “We don’t get a lot of at-bats. A White male can direct a $200 million film, fail and get another one. Right?”

She also said, speaking about that Cheetos movie, “We get one at-bat. We get one chance. I gotta make it right, I gotta do it well, I gotta work twice as hard, I gotta out hustle everybody in the room, I gotta work twice as fast, I gotta do it twice as cheap … You really carry the generational traumas with you into the making of the film.”
