Lacey Chabert Addresses Ageism in Hollywood

Lacey Chabert, widely known as the 'Queen Of Hallmark Christmas Movies', is addressing recent claims of ageism in Hollywood following a lawsuit that alleges she is considered 'old talent' by Hallmark executives. The lawsuit, filed by former casting director Penny Perry, claims that Hallmark's EVP of programming stated that Chabert is 'getting older' and suggested finding a replacement. Hallmark has denied these allegations, asserting that Chabert has 'a home at Hallmark'. In response, Chabert emphasized the importance of telling women’s stories at every life stage, expressing a desire to share experiences as a mother and to portray relatable characters for younger generations. She stated, 'I have so much that I hope to share with my audience' and highlighted the significance of creating meaningful holiday films. Despite the controversy, Chabert has a new Netflix movie, 'Hot Frosty', set to release, showing her continued presence in the industry.
