Yikes!! Rachel True of the 1996 cult film The Craft shared on social media that a convention booked her costars from the film — Fairuza Balk, Robin Tunney, and Neve Campbell — but failed to book her as well. Even worse? Rachel says this isn’t the first time this has happened.
She shared that her costar Fairuza informed her of the booking at the con, and though Rachel didn’t call out the convention by name on social media, they responded saying her posts were “uncalled for,” and that’s why they didn’t book her. Meanwhile, her three costars had already been booked in advance. So gross!!

Ch-ch-check out some of what Rachel had to say on Twitter (below):
I think it’s interesting these conventions are booking Neve, Fairuza &, Robin all together, but excluding me. Sounds about white.

Kinda like the press junkets back in the day for the film. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

To any conventions whose names I have not mentioned once.. the other actors have been booked for a while..My team gave ample time for you to include me in ‘the craft’ reunions you’re pushing & people are paying for. How did you expect me to respond?

This is not about self absorption.. it’s about racism, parity & ???? speaking up is costing me $ but may help younger folk coming up down the line achieve those things. pic.twitter.com/oBVQkGslpZ

I don’t think they’d do this to someone white, BUT that’s the insidious part.. where people can say I’m just being paranoid.. & then I swallow it to make others comfortable & I’m surprised I‘ve an esophagus left from all the rising bile.

Unfortunately, Rachel shared that this has been going on for over 20 years since the movie came out:
Btw, I brought up awards show etc, because being left out of these events didn’t just hurt ego, it had a direct effect on POC actors pocket books & public profiles & level of celebrity.

Fans showed support with responses on Twitter, but something obviously needs to change here!! We’re sorry you’re dealing with this Rachel!
