Her casting for the film drew criticism online from sections of original author Roberts’ fan base, who had an issue with Milano’s role in the Me Too movement. Roberts publicly defended the casting, saying: “To those who say they will never read my work again because of differing political viewpoints and opinions, or because a talented, experienced actor will play a role, all I can say is that that is their choice believe Ms. Milano and I will survive.”
