Tina Fey Says ‘Misogyny Is Much More Real’

Comedy star Tina Fey isn’t laughing about the state of the country following Hillary Clinton’s election defeat to Donald Trump.

“We’re in a bit of a throwback moment,” she says in an interview with old friend David Letterman for The Hollywood Reporter that touches on issues of feminism and modern society.

“I definitely came out of last month feeling misogyny is much more real than two years ago,” she muses, adding that before that she had felt like we were “on the precipice of things getting pretty good.”

However, more so than anything else, Tina is worried about the “just despicable” way in which people interact on the Internet. The actress laments the fact that people can hide behind their screens, easily treating each other horribly without having to be in the same room.

The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior

“It’s metastasizing now, thanks to our glorious president-elect who can’t muster the dignity of a seventh-grader. It’s so easy for people to abuse each other and to abandon all civility,” the “30 Rock” star and co-creator adds.

She continues to slam President-elect Donald Trump, poking fun at his tweet for the “Hamilton: An American Musical” cast to apologize to Vice President-elect Mike Pence after he was given a plea by the cast to be accepting and supportive of all Americans during his term.

“Immediately, my brain went to [‘Saturday Night Live’ creator and producer] Lorne Michaels. I thought, our president-elect is a chump of a manager because don’t put yourself in a position where you’re asking for something and you’re going to be told no,” Tina says.

Meanwhile, it has otherwise been a good year for Fey, who is being honored by THR with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award for her professional leadership and work on behalf of women in Hollywood. She is currently busy developing a musical based on her beloved 2004 film “Mean Girls,” as well as preparing for the debut of her new comedy series “Great News,” which premieres on NBC in 2017.
