Every other actor and actress has received some amount of backlash online for whatsoever reason. The Internet can be a brutal place, after all. Once, Elizabeth Olsen faced the heat as she said things that did not sit right with many audiences. They called her racist and oblivious religious sentiments. Scroll on to learn more.

While promoting her Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Elizabeth Olsen talked to Collider about her character and said, “The way that we designed costume and character is based on these two kids being on their own and using whatever they can to their best ability. Like if they see a street vendor, they just grab something off the street vendor, so it hints at Eastern Europe, but it’s also kind of this g*psy, vagabond feel as well.” In another interview with Vanity Fair, Elizabeth Olsen talked about her iconic red Halloween costume in WandaVision and said, “It was kind of like a g*psy thing that has to wear a headband and I, like, fought for it. I was like ‘No, we have to go full into it…this is like the greatest thing, if Paul’s doing it, I’m doing it.’”
