If there is dislike for her elsewhere it will be from the vicious rumours from this small group of haters. However I haven't seen dislike for her anywhere else. I don't count comments sections on newspapers; it's the same haters again who write the same stuff, they repeat themselves all over the internet. They just can't leave her alone,

I've read articles that is strictly about her career/movies (no Michael mentioned) on movie sites and i saw some people (with disqus account) on the comment section saying those stuff about her using sexual favours/Weinstein to get her roles, and i was a bit surprised because I thought 'wow apparently this rumor do exists outside of Fassy fandom'

But then... I was on justjared, reading some articles about them and in the comment section, i found those same disqus accounts who spread the casting couch **** all over the internet. They are in fact regular commenters on Michael's articles at JJ lol. Still the same Fassy stans all over again, taking over every articles about her :laugh:

And if there are people who dislike her outside the Fassy fandom, it's completely normal, right? I mean when you're an actress/famous people, of course there are people who like you and those who don't. People might not like her acting, her looks, her attitude, and especially for a rising star like her, some people might find her overexposed or overrated (like people did with Jlaw, Shailene, Rooney, etc)... If it's just that kind of dislike, it's normal, she can't please everyone. But what disturb me is the nasty, over the top, accusations and theories about her that seem to coming from one collective source and that is the Fassy fandom

Yep, you've seen it too. Same small group of Alicia haters doing their utmost to spread their lies and hate about her as far as they can.. Makes you wonder why they do it and what they hope to get out of it... Do they seriously think they are going to damage her career or her relationship with Michael? Both look pretty solid to me [emoji3]

I knew her name and that she was Fassbender's GF, but nothing else about her. I saw Testament of Youth this past weekend and she was marvelous! She is a beautiful girl and very natural looking. Tiny! I thought this was a very difficult role as this was not a happy go lucky sort of movie. Vera Brittains's daughter was pleased with how she performed. Interstingly, VB was a very pretty woman herself and AV looks very much like her IMO.

The reason why people have started to dislike her is because of the lies that started spreading from the Fassy fans. Non of the reasons they have for disliking her is based on facts, just vicious rumours. Very sad.

No, I think it's based on the articles. Most people don't follow Fassy fans. If not for the quotes in those articles, she may have stood a chance with them and me.

Like i said, if there are people who dislike her based on their perceived attitude of hers, it's not a problem (not for me at least, no one is obliged to like her). People can interpret her quotes in different ways, whether it's positively or negatively, i don't mind :smile1: But when there are comments that are referring to unfounded accusations (i.e she's whoring herself for jobs) and bizzare conspiracy theories , that's when it became inappropriate to me, and people who spread this kind of accusations are usually the same group of people ...
And like others have said, the conspiracy theories are getting out of hand, i particularly agree with the imdb thread that Allie28 has posted.
It's ok to speculate, but these people are treating their speculation like cold hard facts, holding to it like gospel, and spreading it in various sites.
That being said, I don't mind reading comments like "she said she'll have 3 movies in contention for oscar? Wow what a arrogant *****" but i'm not comfortable reading stuff like "oh she got that Bourne role, so she's screwing Marshall too on top of Weinstein!", it's just disgusting. Those are the kind of comments i notice being written more and more by the same disqus accounts on different sites

I've been wondering why this thread is so active. I guess the Fassy connection?

I'm not sure what to make of this actress. I honestly never heard of her until she became Fassy's GF. I saw Ex Machina and while she was OK I didn't see it as some career making performance. She's attractive but in a plain, unmemorable way. She's not a stunner like Margot Robbie. Articles about her seem to be polarized. They're either overwrought, gushing PR pieces or they're less enthusiatic pieces laced with shade. The blind items coming out recently that point to her paint a rather unsavory picture. She could be sufferring for being an openly ambititous female but all these sources keep pointing to the same attributes - coldness, thirst and arrogance. She and her PR team may want to get a handle on things. The media loves to brand people and the labels can stick for the duration of their careers.

She is rated highly in the industry for her acting ability and is much in demand. Looks are subjective, one person may find her attractive but unmemorable, another beautiful.

Not sure what/who you're referring to as "all these sources". The vast majority of the unsavoury stuff originates from a small group of Fassbender fans who have a very unhealthy hatred of her and who spread their lies and poison as far as possible all over the Internet. And Blind Items? They are nothing but puerile gossip and invective cobbled together to suit a particular narrative and then dispensed as "inside information". This then gets distributed as "further proof" and so the gossip takes on a new momentum.

See and this proves that all opinions are subjective. I for example find Margot Robbie plain looking, not especially attractive. It's always a point of view thing. And that's why there are people who find one actress attractive while the other fails to appeal.

I'm not referring to message board chatter. I'm referring to actual articles written about her that throw shade while referring to her "coolness" and alluding to her thirst. I don't think haters on a forum can put words in the mouth of a NY Times writer.

Well that's your interpretation of one article; personally I don't read it that way. There are many more articles and interviews with her that present her in a very positive way.

I don't think much of Lainey or of her hardly blind blind items, but what I do find a bit interesting is that so many on various sites right away guessed on Alicia and dissed on her with little hesitation. I'm not sure what/how much web fame/popularity/hate means for an actor/actresses career? I'm also not sure it's just hate from crazy Fassy fangirls. There can't be that many of them. I wonder if she somehow comes off in a off-putting way in English? I at least first noticed hostility towards her online after the interview where she talked about hoping to have three movies at the Oscars.

I'd be interested to know what sites guessed on her and dissed on her without hesitation?

The articles people keep refering to that proves what a horrible human being Alicia is, are the New York Times article written by Ruth La Ferla ( a terrible journalist that keeps on insulting women, Here's an example:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lauren-duca/lena-dunham-fat_b_3981499.html ) and also the W magazine interview that was clearly badly written. Most of the facts in that interview was taken from other things and interviews online. I agree that the line “But next year, the Oscars will be interesting. If all goes well, I’m going to have three films in contention." raised an eyebrow but knowing how journalists work I'm not surprised it was being put that way ( it's all about headlines). I doubt those were exact quotes but even if they were, Garland(Ex Machina) is probably getting a nomination for Best original script and Hooper/Redmayne is also probably getting some kind of recognition. There's also TLBO and Tulip Fever, both which we don't know much about (interview was made in february and they had just finished those projects up). Her performance in both Testament of Youth an Ex Machina have been nominated for smaller awards, but they probably don't have the backing because they are independent films. I don't think there's anything wrong with backing up and creating buzz about your work. She never said she'd be nominated for three Oscars. Just that she was involved in projects that are going to be contenders once award season approaches. I fully believe that.

I agree -- I love her natural beauty and I bet she gets more work than a Margot Robbie type, who can only do certain roles… AV's natural looks can help her disappear in roles and that's my favourite kind of actress.
