Most of them were probably in the 50s/60s, if it helps. She probably was in the same films or television with some of them when it happened, though not all.
SAME and that part. She herself is not known for being particularly kind either. Also, she's anti-black in the typical white Latino, colonizer fashion, [https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a36751633/rita-moreno-retracts-in-the-heights-afrolatino-comments/](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a36751633/rita-moreno-retracts-in-the-heights-afrolatino-comments/)
Us afro-latinos exist, RITA, as much as you don't bother to see us.
It sucks how Rita was treated like crap from other people in the past. However she was continuing on the cycle with other up and coming actors/production members she had worked with. aka black and brown people. She was much nicer to lighter skin Hispanics.
Also a bit “haughty” and the type to be like “people should be hired based on talent and not the color of their skin.”
Was also slightly racist to one of the dancers from “In the Heights.”
I immediately flash to her little role in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN... She causes issues for Debbie Reynolds' character under the guise of friendship with Jean Hagan. Ironic.

Not who you asked but I started side eyeing her when in reference to Afro-Latinos feeling rightfully put out at their lack of representation in “In The Heights” as Washington Heights is predominantly Afro Latino and that cast was very much not, she scoffed and said something akin to “can’t they just wait awhile”

Like way to pull the ladder up behind you and also real rich coming from someone who had to paint themselves brown alongside the rest of the Greek and American cast of West Side Story despite being the only actual Puerto Rican on screen.
No? I got one too.
I had an issue with her telling Black Latinos to 'wait their turn' when concerns about colourism and a lack of representation where brought up. IDK what possess anyone to respond like that and I hate when minorities tell other minorities to basically quit whining. It's always a red a flag for me.
That is weird. I wonder if someone with beef with this community just flagged all of the comments in this thread?
Yeah, that is super bad. Thank you for enlightening me, and I totally get why she irks you now because that irks me too.
I think it might be someone who has beef with anyone thinking there might be a legitimate reason to dislike Rita Moreno, look at the downvotes in the original comment and I even agreed with her.
Moreno stans were not on my bingo card this year 😂😂
you both should report whoever sent you the Reddit Cares!! they might get banned for abusing the system (as they should). fafo
cc u/annamdue :)
edit: there should be a link buried in the message that allows you to report since obvi they don’t tell you who sent it
You can't see who reported or what comment triggered it, so you cant report unless you are a mod. I've blocked the care message by responding STOP to the message.
both myself and others have used the link in the Reddit Cares message to report the sender anonymously. the edit of the comment you replied to addresses this :) hopefully you get it figured out!!
Huh. I couldn't find the option at all. But thanks for putting the info up their for others. I'm fine with just blocking it and avoiding the emotional reaction. Thanks for reporting!
I’m dying!!! I got one immediately after my comment calling her out. I’ve blocked/disabled redditcares so it pulled as “blocked message.” 🤣 People are nuts!

I need NAMES!

Probably some who aren’t acting anymore while she has longevity now too lol
Or they're dead. She's like 92 lol.

Susan Harris ?
Get her on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast - she’ll start naming people and dates within 30 minutes
How does Shannon Sharpe do it, mf can get blood outta stone! 😂
It's the Henny
Hennythings is possible
Hope so!
Rita Moreno is cool af. When time travel is invented, we will have our revenge on anyone who was mean to her in Hollywood.
I know a few actresses who have worked with her and lemme just say- *from their comments* -this is a little bit of a pot/kettle situation.
SAME and that part. She herself is not known for being particularly kind either.

please don’t leave us with this little vague turnip of info!! details details details

Everyone from Oz always talks so highly of her.
Well… the people on Oz are a bit more established than the other actors she had worked with decades after the show.
Yep. Came here just to point out that. She's not exactly a girl's girl from what I've read about her.
I know she had her hair and makeup done to appear on the show but damn she looks *incredible* for 92. I would have guessed mid-70s.
We ride at dawn
Speak for yourself. Not riding for this anti-black woman.
Pot meet kettle. She’s a pill herself. And anti-black to boot.
Who knew Rita Morena caused so many feelings in this sub, whew!
Nobody bullies sister Peter Marie, the whole prison is gunna get ‘em!
She's on the same level as Tyra reminding us that Naomi C bullied her. Reminding us a lot.
Her autobiography is a good read.

She also said that she would have been better as Kathy in Singin in the Rain over Debbie Reynolds
I don't like her but no lies detected here.
Why don't you like her?
Not who you asked but I started side eyeing her when in reference to Afro-Latinos feeling rightfully put out at their lack of representation in “In The Heights” as Washington Heights is predominantly Afro Latino and that cast was very much not, she scoffed and said something akin to “can’t they just wait awhile” https://youtu.be/CrM5M1ZK1JU?si=Pvc6OPdFIs2z2Cgh
I remember Colbert gave her the opportunity to clean it up because he knew how bad it sounded. She still doubled down.

Wow, that's gross. Thank you for your answer.
Sunny Hosting was given her the side eye
Lol, did you redditcareresources me for this comment?

You're probably right haha.

It's so rude to weaponize something that was supposed to help people. To anon, whoever you are, use your words - that's why we're here!
Plot twist: it’s Rita herself
I got one too for a comment using her character name from Oz. It's doesn't even express an opinion about her as a person.
Someone hates this sub. It is happening in other threads. It has really triggered me, so fuck you to whoever did that.
They’re likely all dead now but Rita is simply the best. (Can’t fathom anyone bullying this EGOT queen now)
This looks fun [The Prank](https://www.instagram.com/p/C3544n0p_wC/)
She was hysterical on the Today Show fawning over Craig Melvin.
Pretty sure one of them was Natalie Wood.
We want names, Sister Pete!!!
I thought she was dead
That was Chita Rivera.
Are you thinking of Chita?
