4. Letitia Wright calls out publication for comparing her anti-vaccination tweet to male actors with scandal controversies
Letitia Wright says The Hollywood Reporter has refused to apologise or remove her name from an article “alongside men accused of abuse & sexual misconduct” despite her speaking out: “As someone who is in therapy to overcome my own experience of sexual abuse, this is not okay” pic.twitter.com/vB3erLEuMA

Leticia Wright took to social media to show her frustrations over an article from The Hollywood Reporter comparing her COVID-19 tweet to the recent scandals of some men in Hollywood. “How dare you. You mentioned my name alongside men who have been accused of abuse & sexual misconduct. This is vile behavior,” Wright wrote about the story. The article details how Wright’s recent controversies involving her anti-vaccination retweet in the past may affect her chances during Oscar Awards season, listing the controversies of Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Woody Allen, and Casey Affleck.
THR Editor-In-Chief Nekesa Mumbi Moody told the media, “the intent was not to equate Letitia Wright’s situation with others mentioned in the article.” Earlier this week, the Black Panther actress shared how she moved on from the incident in a “healthy way. I feel it’s something I experienced two years ago, and I have in a healthy way moved on,” she expressed. “And in a healthy way, I’ve apologized and deleted my Twitter. I just apologized for any hurt that was caused to anybody.”

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for Portugal against Ghana, becoming the first male player to score in five World Cup tournaments. Ronaldo returned to the starting lineup to captain Portugal against Ghana, before putting his side ahead from the spot in the second half with a record-breaking strike. He became the first male player to score in five World Cups in what was his eighth goal across those tournaments, as Portugal defeated Ghana 3-2.
Ghana’s rapid response through Andre Ayew was soon canceled out by quick-fire strikes from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao, before Osman Bukari pulled one back for the Black Stars. Ronaldo’s record-breaking goal comes in a turbulent week for the Portugal captain, which saw him first dumped by Manchester United before being slapped with a fine and ban by the FA for an altercation with a fan back in April.
