is a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society," a spokesperson for the streaming service said in a statement to PEOPLE. "These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and we felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible.
Responding to the decision, Kelly, 49, shared her disagreement, asking if more content would get revoked when revisited through a modern lens. "Are we going to pull all of the movies in which women are treated as sex objects too? Guess how many films we’ll have left?Where does this end??" the former
Kelly is the reason Gone With the Wind needs historical context. She thought Blackface was ok a few yrs ago. HBO didnt erase the movie. They are not censoring the film. They want to present it with context. God forbid ww who romanticize the confederacy should learn something😒
We ask the same question!
Stop ok do not dress up
You need to mind your own business
Thank you Megan Kelly
I’m all for protest and working on making life better for so many oppressed. But this seems silly.
Pulling classics, destroying statues, burning books,-doesn't erase history !! Teaching the truth and letting Americans decide for themselves is the answer.
As much as I can’t stand her I agree. And it’s almost like missing the point. I don’t think they need streets named BlackLivesMattter etc they want real change.
She is snake 🤮🤮🤮
This is American History.
I know I wouldn't want to watch anything (that is not on the History Channel) that depicts my community as lesser humans. HBO is doing the right thing by adding context. Fyi, It makes people butt hurt about this look racist.
Oh is Megyn Kelly still relevant? Who cares what she thinks?
Don’t know were it will all end.This is my favourite film of all time. 💕💕💕🦋
I agree w her. This has literally gone too far. Ridiculous.
Your right Megan
I Megyn
So so sad
Loved Gone With The Wind great movie
This is what you upset about with people dying in America
This is censorship
I'm a white man. I don't hate black people. It seems this whole race thing is out of control. 'Black lives matter' is great, but what about 'White' lives? Now we don't matter? Black people better be careful. It might backfire on them.
I would have hoped it would have ended way before she thought black face for a costume as kid was ok. My parents would have never even thought of that being ok! I grew up where Black Lives Matter!
I don’t like her but I have to agree. Remember all those black and white, even colored movies where white Americans were acting as asian, Indian, black? Should we ban all of those while we are at it?
Loni Love is in support of keeping GWTW, due to Hattie McDaniel’s historic performance and Oscar Win.
This movie gave the Oscar to the first Black Actress to with the AA.
Really? She’s still upset about Santa tho...f her
? Just for now correct
Our right
She’s gonna spout off on race AGAIN? smh HowdThatWorkOutLastTime
It ends when Police stop murdering unarmed Black People!! wtf she thinks this is about
Good for you Megyn!!
Where does it end?
You can’t and shouldn’t change history or erase it, but you can and should change tomorrow and the future. Recorded History facts alllow us to learn from our mistakes we made and make better choices for the future.
Good for her
Hattie McDaniel was the first black woman to win the Oscar for this film. She was honored for her talent. Nothing is all good or all bad. Let’s ban all current films using the N word. This seems more pressing for change than an 80 yr old film nobody watches
Taking down this ans statues and anything Confederate is stupid because for one its history so it's not going anywhere and do people not realize that slavery started with blacks selling their own so what do they want to do about that
This is so stupid. This is why their is racism in this world. Cause of this stupid crap. All this is doing is starting a race war
Megyn- probably when cops stop killing African American people unjustifiably.
I agree with her.. love that movie. It’s a love story and unfortunately there is the ugly part of history but ..again it’s more focus in love.
It’s a classic, no matter what. It shows what was a reality at that time.
Ridiculous! What woman wants to wear a corset so tight she faints? What woman wants to be dominated by men and own nothing? That’s the whole point! Scarlett evolved through the movie into something of substance. It’s the fictional birth of feminism &change.
who are the 'They' opposed to HBO airing this film? could it be HBO most people probably 'frankly, don't give a damn'..
When does it end.... they need to take her racist ass of the air immediately!!!!!!!
I'm with you Kelly!!
When does it end? Let’s just get rid of TV, social media anything that is entertaining or educational so nobody is offended, our get their feelings hurt for something that happened in the past, currently and in the future. Let’s just get rid of it all.
I don’t know Megyn, when racism ends
Gone with the wind booooring my opinion
This has got to stop
When the KKK is Dismantled!
When will YOU end, megynkelly? 🙄
What the H is going on. This is getting to be like the Me To Thing. When are people going to educate themselves before they destroy property, kill, fire people and etc? There are more White People killed than Black by the Police. Why don't we hear about that?
HBO MAX will bring it back
Funny how this is just sooooo annoying to the bigots and racist trash.
I think most people are intelligent enough to understand that back when Gone With The Wind was made It was a different time and can enjoy the movie for what it was A LOVE STORY.
Wow, this movie is a classic.
Megyn? Were you and Matt Lauer watching together?
Insane
Raise your hand if you believe some people need a lisc to Tweet? ( Really Meg)
Cases...and my family is black from LA & TX...Get real please folks...
GWTW is a great film. Do folks NOT want to celebrate the Oscar winning performance by Hattie McDaniel? Seriously folks, pulling this film cannot and does not rease history...if anything it reminds us how AWFUL, SINFUL, GREEDY and UNHOLY the dirty south was and still is in SOME
Are you FRIGGIN KIDDING ME! Gone With The Wind is MORE THAN JUST A MOVIE ABOUT THE NORTH & SOUTH! IT IS A LOVE STORY PEOPLE! AND A STORY ABOUT A WOMEN'S LOVE FOR HER HOME AND HOW SHE DRAWS HER STRENGTH FROM THAT! AND WHAT SHE IS WILLING TO DO TO KEEP IT! This is INSANITY! ✌
I know Megyn Kelly is hard pressed to find anyone willing to employ her these days, but surely if she wants to see Gone With The Wind that much, she can mosey down to Walmart and buy a copy for $4.00.
whitepriveledge
If anyone is taking things going on in a movie like this as a guide to how things work now they should not be allowed to watch movies anyway.
Megyn is defending a movie she has not seen.
What’s next Schindler’s List?
I guess it ended for you megynkelly with thinking black face is no big deal!
So let's also pull every single movie ever made that contained violent content. And while we're at it, let's pull down every music single ever made that contained disrespectful and offensive lyrics. And don't forget to pull off the shelves books that tell the stories of history.
With the $$ she makes..that’s the hairstyle she goes for?! 🙄😄
I literally just said to my sister this past Saturday, “Soon you’ll need a copy of GWTW if you want to see it.” And now this.
seriously, megynkelly is this the biggest problem you're currently facing? get a grip.
When y’all stop holding on to racism and move on with your lives.
She makes a valid point. History CAN NOT be erased. We learn and move forward with it. Because of movies like Gone With The Wind (which is one of my all time favorite) I learned at an early age of the injustices and privileges of White people.
I THINK ITS GREAT, GOOD FOR HBO.
She’s right.
Agree
Yeah from the woman who thought Jesus was Lilly white
Why do we care what this woman thinks?
It’s a movie that takes place during the civil war when there was slavery...it’s true to the time.
megynkelly stfu!!
A: it sure as hell does NOT end here.
Glad I own the disk and can watch anytime my little heart desires cause ‘frankly, I don’t give a darn’
It ends when racism ends. megynkelly
Yeah, I mean now there's almost no movies anymore.
When the police STOP
No one is making anyone watch it. HBO doesn't have be so dramatic about it. They put the breaks on a classic movie, in which the first black person won an Oscar, but keep all that other offensive garbage going?
Just amazingly stupid, what next?
Megyn it ends when people like you stop asking when it will end.
It ends when we’re treated like equals and not 2nd class citizens. Wake up changes are coming...
Glad that Moves like this are dragging many more racists to the light.
And we should care because...?
Hopefully it doesn’t, hopefully we keep learning and growing.
Old news! No one is tuning in Ms.Kelly
I’d give it about 400 years, Karen.
It ends when cops stop standing on necks. It’s not like they’re going to destroy every print of GWTW
I guess Megan hadn’t learned anything. It’s like she is still wearing her blackface
Who cares what this racist failed talk show host thinks. Will there be a column about Jenny Jones’ thoughts too? Or Ricki Lake? 🙄 Let her take her NBC millions & skulk away into obscurity where she belongs.
she's right
Oh shit, I actually agree with megynkelly. I should really re-examine my life choices.
You mean the movie that Hattie McDaniel who received the first Academy Award given to a black person or person of colour (Wickipedia) You mean that “Gone With The Wind” ?
The only way we can grow and learn is by recognizing the horrible things that have been done and never repeating them. Removing books or movies doesn’t change our history and just causes more ignorance.
You should not try to hide history. You should not run from it. Look at it in the face and learn. Movies are great teachers. Keep them going.
LMBO!!!! The tables are turning. People can’t handle it. 🤯🤣😂
megynkelly FRANKLY DARLING I DONT GIVE A DAMN 😂😂😂😂
Maybe it’ll end when racism does? 🤔
When will it end. Now this is just making people mad. Enough already.
Book burning, movie banning, and all other censorship is major communist tactic. Anyone who pays attention to history should know that this never ends well.
It’s sad how uneducated the masses are on how the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany came to be. So many injustices were carried out in the name of moral superiority. Hang tight folks, you have a front seat to the decay of society.
This is the same woman who is out of a job right now because she thinks Blackface isn’t offensive.
It’s not like the fucking movie isn’t available on other platforms. Ffs, every movie isn’t available everywhere. Stop with the damn whining. If you love the movie so much buy the dvd and stfu!
The first African American to win an Oscar was in this film. Instead of reviling it’s content, maybe we could look at it as a step forward for POC in the entertainment business.
It's only pulled long enough to add a disclaimer. Probably be back up in a matter of days.
Must be nice to sit around and 'slam' everything all day long and make headlines and social media popularity because of your opinions.
Every time Manny called folks white trash I stood up an cheered.
When is Hollywood nitwit,Aaron Sorkin,going to redo “Gone With The Wind”? He had no problem rewriting part of “To Kill A Mockingbird”.
Why would anyone listen Racist Kelly ? 🤷🏽♂️
