As Sarah Snook put it, this sort of behavior isn't uncommon. The truth of the matter is that young actresses often deal with circumstances like these and suffer the weight of power imbalances. "That's the unfortunate situation when a person is in a position of authority taking advantage, mindlessly saying something that could be taken the wrong way and taken on in a certain context that holds with that person for the rest of their life," she said.
Luckily, this all ends happily. Snook went on to reveal that these days, she has a more balanced view of everything, especially when it comes to subjects like looks and beauty. In fact, she said that beauty has "an expiry date of some sort, whether it's of your making or other people's. And I think a person's beauty and body is their own jurisdiction. They should be allowed to make choices about it themselves."
While addressing the chocolate cake debacle, Snook refreshingly said that she doesn't police her food intake: "I eat whatever I want; it's my own body and my own choice.
