American streamer Hasan Piker, known online as HasanAbi, recently made a comment about Wonder Woman actor Gal Gadot. It’s what we’ve all been thinking, obviously, but having somebody with Piker’s reach and fanbase also say it is incredibly validating.
In a recent profile with Variety, Piker calls Gadot “a dogsh*t actress. She has no business [being at the Oscars] for the crime of what she has done to not only the DC franchise, but really any movie she’s been a part of.”
He’s not wrong. How many of us monotone “Kal-El, no!” on a daily basis? Probably a lot more than you think. We all know how much her iconic delivery from Death on the Nile was ridiculed after that film came out It really does confuse the mind when you think back on how quickly she rose to stardom (and then how equally quickly she fell from it. We aren’t forgetting the COVID video).
Piker continued, “All jokes aside, Gal Gadot serves an important role in normalizing Israel as not a fascist ethno-state, but instead a place where a lot of beautiful women come from. And those beautiful women happen to serve in the IDF, because there’s also this weird sexualization of the forces as well that takes place, and it plays another role in normalizing Israel and its activities and actions, and whitewashing it.”
We also can’t forget when she blamed the box office flop of 2025’s Snow White on how the cast was asked about Israel. Gal, it bombed because Rachel Zegler was the only good thing about it, and she can only carry it so much.
Frankly, it’s tiresome to listen to her continuously deflect blame. Maybe look inside yourself and see where the real problem is. More people should speak out like Piker is doing.
