Woke Woman Goes Off at Sylvester Stallone After This! (This Got Ugly!)

It seems the woke mob has found its latest target in Hollywood stalwart Sylvester Stallone as he films the second season of *Tulsa King* in Atlanta. Whispers and rumors have escalated into a full-blown crusade to paint him as the lead antagonist in a drama of toxic workplace proportions.

This isn’t just idle chatter; it’s an orchestrated attempt to tarnish the reputation of a man who has been a mainstay in American cinema for over half a century.

What’s the Scoop?

Well, it’s said that Stallone has been pretty harsh with the background actors on set. The accusations stem from one person in particular—Julie Benson, a TV writer who has been spreading stories from some secondhand screenshots she got from a friend.

She wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), “Got this disturbing news from my Atlanta friend who was background on *Tulsa King* this week. The casting agent quit because she was so disgusted. My friend is feeling anxious about working now. Stallone, what do you have to say for yourself, sir? Beyond disappointed, I’m livid.”

She posted two screenshots with this post, allegedly showing Stallone making some pretty nasty comments. One of them quotes him complaining to the director about “ugly background characters.” Not stopping there, the screenshot continues, claiming he and the director proceeded to call certain people terrible names and laughed at them, giving specifics. Then, allegedly, Sly said, “Bring in pretty young girls to be around me.”

What’s even more curious is the fact that this post has now been deleted. Rose Lock, the casting director, apparently had enough of this. She reportedly quit because of the toxic vibes. She even sent out an email saying, “At the end of the day, I resigned because it was a clear toxic environment that I was not comfortable putting myself or background artists in.”

A Hollywood Scandal in the Making?

Now, that’s a serious charge to walk away with. These allegations have all the makings of a Hollywood scandal, but we’ve got to ask ourselves: Where’s the proof beyond some blurred images and hearsay? This feels like a plot straight out of the cancel culture playbook—trying to take down a seasoned star with unverified claims.

Stallone’s been in the limelight for decades without a whisper of this kind of behavior, and now suddenly we’re supposed to believe he’s the bad guy based on some anonymous posts? Especially after he joked about pronouns on the show? Here’s the deal: Before we jump on the bandwagon, let’s remember that screenshots can be faked and stories can be twisted. We’re talking about a man’s legacy here; let’s not let incomplete snapshots from a private group decide his fate in the court of public opinion.

The Scene That Might Have Sparked the Controversy

It’s easy to get carried away by the narrative that social media pushes forward, but let’s hold off on casting judgment until we see some real evidence. After all, in an age where accusations fly quicker than facts, we must keep a level head and seek out the whole story.

We also can’t ignore the fact that this sudden burst of woke rage may also stem from the very essence of *Tulsa King* itself, a show that unapologetically swims against the tide of current woke themes in film and TV. Take, for instance, a scene from the first season that made waves. Dwight Manfredi, played by Stallone, is a New York mobster freshly out of a 25-year prison stint. He re-enters society only to find out that the world around him is nothing like what he had known.

In a scene where Dwight accidentally gets stoned, he delivers a monologue that embodies a modern-day Rip Van Winkle, humorously grappling with these changes: “What’s going on with this country in general nowadays? Does that mean, like, your generation, seriously? Come on. And these pronouns—what the [expletive] is with the pronouns?”

Stallone: An Icon of Defiance

This monologue, while comedic, cuts to the core of contemporary debates, poking fun at the complexities of gender identity discussions in a way only Stallone could. You can just imagine how that grates against everything else that Hollywood and Netflix are churning out these days, which challenges the predictable takes on societal issues they have.

Stallone’s performance brings a unique authenticity to the role, blurring the lines between character and actor as he navigates Dwight’s confusion with a blend of humor and bewilderment that feels deeply personal. It’s as if Stallone himself might echo Dwight’s sentiments, making the character’s experiences resonate on a personal level.

Taylor Sheridan and Terence Winter, the creative minds behind *Tulsa King*, have crafted a character that Sly seems destined to portray, embodying the frustrations and alienation felt by many who feel left behind by rapid societal shifts. His monologue offers a voice to those seldom heard in mainstream media.

Stallone’s dynamic portrayal is more than just acting; it’s a profound expression of the frustrations felt by many today. He’s not merely playing a mobster out of his element; he’s a man challenging the new norms—a character crafted with Stallone’s own fiery spirit and rugged charm. This isn’t just a performance; it’s a statement, with Stallone using Dwight as a conduit to express his defiance against the encroaching pressures of political correctness.

Conclusion: The Fight Continues

Off the set, Stallone’s real-life persona mirrors the rebellious spirit of his character. Known for his outspoken nature, he has vocally opposed what he sees as the dilution of creative vision by over-the-top political correctness, famously stating, “I won’t have a bunch of granola moms and their soy boy husbands telling me what I can and cannot do on my set with my crew. The wokeness can get lost.”

This declaration is quintessentially Stallone—unfiltered, uncompromising, and passionately devoted to preserving the essence of storytelling without yielding to contemporary sensitivities. *Tulsa King* is more than mere entertainment; it’s a platform—a pointed critique of the current cultural climate wrapped in a crime drama that exudes the gritty charisma and rebellion that Stallone has always personified.

This show, like much of his work, showcases Stallone at his best—tough, thoughtful, and thrillingly rebellious. These are narratives that celebrate rather than denigrate the timeless values of heroism, nationalism, sacrifice, fidelity, and honor—all rooted in the bedrock of faith, family, and freedom.

There’s something particularly powerful about Stallone’s characters, from Dwight Manfredi all the way back to arguably his most iconic character, Rocky Balboa, that champions conservative values through and through. The original *Rocky* is the American aspirational story, focusing on the simple yet powerful idea that all it takes to make it in life is one fair shot.

Stallone’s career began as a celebration of the moral and heroic traditions that have undergirded our nation for centuries. He saw how these traditions were being repudiated by Hollywood and recognized that this denigration was alienating tens of thousands of people who love faith, family, and freedom and who were longing for a movie that celebrates those timeless values.
