Pinkett Smith’s Girls Trip co-star Tiffany Haddish said: “When I saw a Black man stand up for his wife. That meant so much to me. As a woman, who has been unprotected, for someone to say, ‘Keep my wife’s name out your mouth, leave my wife alone,’ that’s what your husband is supposed to do, right? Protect you” … And maybe the world might not like how it went down, but for me, it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen because it made me believe that there are still men out there that love and care about their women.”

Boycotting Russian cinema and culture at this time, he writes, “is an attempt to cleanse the world of the propaganda of a terrorist state.”
