Here are some photos of Kaley Cuoco and her husband Ryan Sweeting at last night’s premiere of The Wedding Ringer. This is Kaley’s big push to become, like, the next Katherine Heigl (minus Heigl’s unpleasant personality and grasping momager). Kaley wants to be the most successful woman in TV and transition into romantic-comedies and such. Maybe comparing her to Heigl is unfair – Kaley wants to be the next Jennifer Aniston. Anyway, for her big night, Kaley wore this light grey Kaufmanfranco Fall 2014 dress. I like it? The dress is cut beautifully, it looks great on her figure, it’s flattering and I don’t mind the light grey color at all. My only problem with the look as a whole is still Kaley’s hair. It just doesn’t work. It’s too short for her face. I hope she grows it out.
As we discussed last week, Kaley covers the latest issue of Redbook and during the course of the interview, Kaley made some comments about feminism which were problematic. She said that she doesn’t identify as a feminist because she chooses to cook for and serve her husband, and I guess “cooking for your family” is antithetical to feminism. Kaley later offered a half-assed “I’m sorry if you were offended” apology on Instagram and basically claimed she was misquoted or taken out of context. So, as you can imagine, the feminism questions came up during her press rounds for The Wedding Ringer.
Kaley told Entertainment Tonight that all she was trying to say was that she feels blessed: “I really truly meant that I am so lucky and blessed. My career has been growing since I was very young and I haven’t felt like I had to fight to be equal. That’s why I said it.” Er… see, that’s kind of problematic too, Kaley. Because that’s privilege. Because she hasn’t had to fight inequality, does that make her blind to gender inequality next door? Kaley also explained her position further with Access Hollywood:
“What most people I hope would understand that was a three-and-a-half hour conversation that someone saw two sentences [of] and then saw dot, dot, dot. So there was a lot more said,” she said. “If I offended anybody, I talk a lot, and I am sorry if I offended anybody. I love being a wife. I think I said [I love] serving my husband, I love to make him dinner, I love being that person and the whole feminist comment there was – again, so much more [was] said.”
The actress said her comment about not being a feminist because she already felt equal, was coming from a place of gratitude – not ignorance.
“I had felt that I had been so blessed in life today in my life and in my business that I felt like such an equal for so long and I haven’t felt like I’m trying to [move up]. I feel like I’m there. I feel like I’m powerful and that’s where it was coming from.”
So what does feminism mean to the 29-year-old?
“I mean, I think that it is equal, you know? But the funny thing is if I was a guy doing the cover of Redbook and I said all those things, I’d be known as Superman,” she said. “It really was completely blown out of proportion. And a lot of people took it completely the wrong way and again, I just don’t want to offend anybody. Sometimes I don’t realize how in-the-public I am… I don’t hide anything, I am completely who I am.”
Sigh… why does she keep insinuating that making dinner for her husband means that she can’t identify with feminism?!? As for the rest of it, with Kaley “feeling equal” already… I mean, that’s the dream. That young women wouldn’t even have to think about inequality because they’ve always been treated as equal to their male contemporaries. The thing is, I don’t think a 29-year-old woman in Hollywood has been that blessed throughout her life. I just don’t.
