Actress Aubrey Plaza weighed in on the controversial comments made by Tony Hinchcliffe at the Trump rally on Sunday. Speaking at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards on Tuesday night, she said, "Thankfully, my sweet Abuelita [grandmother] wasn't here to hear that disgusting remark. But if she was alive today, I think she would say, 'Tony Hinchcliffe, go f*** yourself'—and yes, The Wall Street Journal can quote me on that."
Plaza, who is part Puerto Rican, is not the only celebrity speaking out. Bad Bunny, Ricky Marton and Jennifer Lopez have all condemned the comments. Lopez will join Harris at a rally in Nevada later this week.

For Oscar-winner Kathy Bates, "it's all about the work." And lately, she's been working a lot. In the reimagining of CBS' Matlock, Bates plays Madeline Matlock, a woman rejoining the workforce at a prestigious law firm in her senior years. The first season of the show, which "has caught fire with 10 million people," says Bates, is such a success that CBS has already renewed it for a second season.
"I feel grateful to play the role. I feel grateful to have this opportunity. I'm just thrilled with the numbers." Those numbers represent a portion of society who might feel unseen. "The boomer generation has been pushed to the side. But in fact, we are a powerful force to be reckoned with." Read the full interview with Bates here.
