'Emily in Paris' Faces Backlash!

Lily Collins has addressed the backlash her Netflix show Emily in Paris has been getting.

It’s left fans divided, with some accusing the show of playing to stereotypical French cliché’s

Speaking to Vogue Arabia, Lily said:

“As disheartening as it sometimes is to read these things, it’s also a gift; you’re being allowed to improve."

She added that if the show gets a second season, they hope to “evolve the narrative.”

"The idea of using my voice to create stories and be a producer was always in the cards," shares actor and producer Lily Collins (@lilyjcollins) in her first-ever Vogue cover story. "I'd been told a few times over the past couple of years by different filmmakers I've worked with that if something's not out there, you should make it yourself," she says of taking the reigns of her own career. Also in our November 2020 issue are hopeful stories of celebration featuring celebrity-loved Bahraini designer Shaima Al Mansoori, Lebanese Lady Palumbo and stars from the El Gouna film festival's red carpet.

Her comments come after her co-star Lucas Bravo (Gabriel) responded to the criticism by agreeing with it.

"I think they're right, in a way. We're portraying clichés and we're portraying one single vision of Paris. Paris is one of the most diverse cities in the world. We have so many ways of thinking, so many different nationalities, so many different neighborhoods. A lifetime wouldn't be enough to know everything that's going on in Paris.
