Shailene Woodley is addressing the criticism she faced for sharing a statement by Melania Trump, which was posted in response to the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
In a recent interview with Bustle, Woodley explained that she shared the statement because she viewed it as a "beautiful message of human compassion."
Woodley noted, "I read it and I was like, 'This is so beautiful.'" She elaborated that many of her friends and colleagues reacted to the incident with skepticism, suggesting it could be a setup or conspiracy. Woodley expressed confusion over the response, stating, "Have we forgotten that two human lives were taken?" She emphasized her discomfort with the intense focus on death rather than compassion.
