The film of the Clint Isovda "The Case of Richard Jowella" is based on the real events of 1996, when an explosion occurred during the Olympiad in Atlanta. Olivia Character, Katie Scrugs Journalist, slept with the FBI agent to find out the name of the suspect in the terrorist attack.
During the visit to 2019 Gotham Awards on December 2, Wilde gave an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and spoke in defense of his kinoheroini, which the audience criticized.
I feel great respect for Katie Scrabgs. She died very young, and I feel responsible for protecting her heritage. The memory of it is unfair to the one-sole drawing of her personality. Although it is understood that she slept with the agent, this is not shown in the film,
- Olivia said.
The actress is confident that critics are sexualizing the character of the heroine, and believes that "this is all because Katie Scrabgs was a woman."
People are difficult to take sexuality in female characters. At the same time, we do not do so with men, we do not think about James Bond and do not say that he is not a real spy, although he mined information and by seducing women if they were source for him. This happens only with female characters. Katie seems to me a very active, persistent and fearless reporter. But I do not mean that a reporter woman must use his sexuality. My mother worked as a journalist 35 years old, and she did not have anything like that. But you should not expect women to suddenly become asexual hangers,
- said the actress.
