Snoop Dogg Says 'My Bad' After Backlash to 'Lightyear' LGBTQ Remarks

A Lightyear writer publicly took credit for the film’s lesbian couple and said she was proud of the inclusion.

Overview

  • Snoop Dogg commented on Instagram that he was caught off guard by his 6-year-old grandson’s question and wrote “my bad,” asking to be taught after criticism of his podcast remarks.
  • He originally told the It’s Giving podcast that a brief same-sex moment in Lightyear left him “scared to go to the movies” because he didn’t want to explain how two women could have a baby during a children’s film.
  • Screenwriter Lauren Gunderson said she conceived the lesbian couple in early drafts and defended the choice on Threads and Instagram, writing, “I’m proud of it.”
  • Chris Evans’ 2022 defense of the film’s LGBTQ inclusion recirculated, with the actor calling critics “idiots” and urging audiences to embrace social growth.
  • Reports citing an unnamed production insider say NBC producers were displeased and that Snoop could be on the outs at The Voice, though this remains unconfirmed.
