Bryant responded to the comment and addressed the criticism, writing, I hear what youre saying.

I encourage you to see the film.

I think youll find thats not the case.

Its a movie I wish I could have seen when I was 14.

I choose my projects carefully with exactly these things in mind.

Change cannot happen over night and this movie is a step in the right direction.

Bryant spoke out last fall about how her platform onSNLhas made her an unintentional spokesperson for body positivity.

Its literally just not what I came here to do.
