'I didn’t see enough color when I walked in the room today': Ellen Pompeo calls out magazine for lack of inclusivity on sets
'Grey's Anatomy' star Ellen Pompeo took an important stand during an on-camera interview for Net-A-Porter. During the roundtable that also featured Gabrielle Union, Gina Rodriguez, and Emma Roberts, Pompeo called out the lack of inclusivity on the very set she was on and went on to discuss the importance of equal representation.
ET Canada reports that Ellen called out the magazine set very candidly saying, “This day has been incredible, and there’s a ton of women in the room. But I don’t see enough color, I didn’t see enough color when I walked in the room today.” She continued, “I had a meeting with a director of another endorsement project that I’m doing where I said, ‘You know when I show up on set, I would like to see the crew look like the world that I walk around in every day." She explained, “I think it’s up to all productions to make sure that your crew looks like the world we see.”
