I don't know if all of a sudden we decided that Barry was going to take the flack for absent fathers everywhere.

Is that also people were like, well, where is your son?

Like he has, cause he has a son.

People were like, you're off with Sabrina.

You're not looking after your son.

You're an absent father.

I think at one stage he was talking about having to be away and working and, but he was doing that for his son and people were like, you're just making excuses.

And all of a sudden that like became this huge lynchpin.

In a way, it's not for other men in Hollywood.

Like, I'm not defending him if he doesn't see his son, but I'm just like... That's most actors in Hollywood.

Yeah, it just felt like it became just another thing to add to this kind of, like, pylon.

It's a very personal attack.

And, like, when we thought he was cute and sexy, no one cared about that.

but when we thought he cheated on Sabrina Carpenter, all of a sudden everyone's like, you come from a drug addict family and you're a bad parent.

Yeah, and again, I think like a song lyric will really change the game.

Like it became sort of like cute and fun to hate on Barry.

And I think because it's also very easy, like there was no, except for him personally, there was no stakes for anyone else.

Whereas I kind of looked at like the attacks on Barry and I was like, where is this for like men in Hollywood who are like abusive towards women?

Or where is this for like men who have been accused and sometimes found guilty of like a sexual assault or all these other things or like physical assault, all these other things.

Like they tend to sort of get more of it.
