Matt Damon Criticise By Television Viewers n Social Media User

Hollywood actor Matt Damon and director is in the spotlight but not for a positive act he appeared on the reality series Project Greenlight when the awkward moment with Effie Brown arose.

Matt Damon has been criticised by television viewers and on social media after he interrupted a black female producer to lecture her on diversity.

The HBO show, which also features the Oscar winner's long-time collaborator Ben Affleck, gives first-time film-makers $3m to direct their own movie.

Damon and Brown, who has produced many films including Dear White People, were discussing the plot to one of the films when Brown spoke of her concerns that the only black character was a prostitute.

She suggested that the project would benefit from a diverse directing team.

"I just would want to urge people to think about, whoever this director is, the way they're going to treat the character of Harmony. Her being a prostitute, the only black person being a hooker who gets hit by her white pimp," she said.

Damon did not agree, instead he interrupted her by saying that diversity is "what you do in the casting of the movie, not the casting of the show," according to report.
