It seems like controversies around Ana de Armas’ Blonde continue as the director Andrew Dominik describes Marilyn Monroe’s most notable character from ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ a movie about “well-dressed wh*res.” Before this, the film faced backlash over Monroe’s accent in it.

For the unversed, when the trailer was released, many viewers were outraged over de Armas’ casting because her accent did not entirely match The Seven Year Itch actress’ iconic tone. However, they were defended by Marilyn’s official estate, who said that Ana was a great casting choice.

However, now, the Blonde director Andrew Dominik has been on the receiving end of backlash over his comment. A small part of his recent interview with BFI’s Sight and Sound Magazine was shared on Twitter. In it, Dominik asked, “Does anyone watch Marilyn Monroe movies?” The director then talked about Monroe’s 1953 film ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ and said her character, Lorelei Lee, and actress Dorothy Shaw’s Jane Russell are “well-dressed wh*res.”
