Meryl Streep’s publicist has confirmed that she and her husband Don Gummer have been separated for over six years. The award-winning actress and the American sculptor had been married since 1978. Streep and Gummer have four children, including daughters Mamie Gummer, Grace Gummer, and Louisa Gummer, who are all involved in acting, and son Henry Wolfe Gummer.
Streep, known for her roles in movies like “Kramer Vs Kramer,” “Sophie’s Choice,” and “The Iron Lady,” has recently appeared in projects such as the comedy series “Only Murders In The Building,” the drama “Let Them All Talk,” and the Netflix satire “Don’t Look Up.” She has received 21 Academy Award nominations and has won three Oscars.
In her Oscar acceptance speech for “The Iron Lady,” Streep expressed gratitude to Gummer, saying, “First I’m going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you’ve given me.”
Kim Kardashian Is Accused of Nepotism for Her Daughter’s Hollywood Debut
Kim Kardashian’s daughter has recently come under scrutiny amid accusations of nepotism after being cast in a significant role. Critics argue that her selection was driven more by her famous family name than by her talent or experience, sparking a debate about fairness in the industry.
The nepotism accusations followed her daughter North West’s Hollywood debut as Simba in Disney’s The Lion King live concert. The 10-year-old took to the stage at the prestigious Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, performing in celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary.
Despite the momentous occasion, the performance quickly sparked controversy, with critics questioning North’s singing abilities and the influence of her famous parents in securing the role.
A video of North’s performance went viral, and it wasn’t long before detractors voiced their opinions. Comments like “She wasn’t appropriate for the role,” and “She can’t even sing,” flooded social media, with some accusing Kim Kardashian and Kanye West of using their clout to get their daughter a spot she wasn’t ready for.
One critic remarked, “I don’t mind nepotism, but at least be good at what you’re trying to do,” while another stated, “Y’all forget that this is a child, blame the director and Kim for the nepotism.” The backlash highlights the ongoing debate about the ethics of celebrity influence in Hollywood.
However, not everyone was quick to condemn North’s performance. Some people came to her defense, appreciating her efforts and potential. Supportive comments included, “Just me or does she sound a lot like the original singer? Just needs a little more practice and would be perfect. Happy for her,” and “Y’all gotta chill on North and stop acting like she ain’t a child too 😂💀 I’m sure the other billionaires and their kids are fine.”
These supporters argue that North, as a child, deserves encouragement rather than harsh criticism, and believe that with time and practice, she could excel in her role.
The mixed reactions to North West’s performance underscore the complexities of navigating a career in the spotlight, especially for the children of celebrities. While some see her Hollywood debut as an example of nepotism, others view it as an opportunity for a young talent to grow.
