Hollywood is suffering “diversity fatigue”, insiders have said, after four
leading inclusion executives left high-profile roles in the space of 10
days.
The departures came at three major studios and the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences.
Commentators in Hollywood suggested it showed “diversity fatigue” and it
led to complaints that the entertainment industry was not fully committed
to implementing inclusivity policies.
All four departing diversity executives were black women and Variety, the
entertainment industry bible, described the moment as a “mass exodus of
black women from senior leadership posts across Hollywood”.
Actress Yvette Nicole Brown wrote on Twitter: “I guess all those black
boxes after George Floyd was murdered were for nothing.”
That was a reference to the black squares people and companies posted on
social media in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in 2020.
Leaving Disney
Among those leaving was Disney’s chief diversity officer Latondra Newton.
Her job was to produce entertainment that “reflects a global audience and
sustain a welcoming and inclusive workplace for everyone”.
Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”, released last month, featured black US
singer Halle Bailey as Princess Ariel, highlighting efforts to promote
diversity.
Ms Newton decided to leave to pursue her own company and the studio
thanked her for “inspiring countless cast members and employees to bring
about lasting change and to help create a world where we can all feel safe
and we all belong”.
In a memo to staff, Disney said a new diversity chief would be identified,
and it would “keep this important work moving forward”.
But the series of departures led to suggestions that Hollywood generally
was putting less of a priority on diversity.
‘First on the chopping block’
Variety reported that “when corporations tighten their money belts, DEI
[Diversity, Equity and Inclusion] initiatives are often first on the
chopping block”.
Jennifer Baker, host of the Minorities in Publishing podcast, wrote:
“Without a clear plan for inclusion nor investment, many of these roles
are seen as obsolete because there wasn’t a clear intention for change.”
The latest Hollywood Diversity Report by the University of California, Los
Angeles (UCLA), showed that in 2022, racial, ethnic and gender diversity
among movie actors, directors and writers for cinema releases went back to
what it was in 2019.
The report said: “The representation of women and people of colour in the
film industry had improved for each of the past three years.
“But in 2022, diversity in several key roles generally returned to 2019
levels.”
As the film industry sought to claw back moviegoers following the pandemic
it leaned more on productions starring and directed by white men, the
report found.
Ana-Christina Ramón, director of the UCLA department that produces the
diversity report, said: “The fear is that diversity is something that is
temporary or could be easily cut at any point in either theatrical or
streaming.”
