Eva Longoria addressed the state of diversity in Hollywood during the Red Sea Film Festival, asserting that there is no 'evil agenda' against hiring people of color. She emphasized that studio executives do not actively exclude diverse talent but tend to hire individuals they have previously collaborated with. Longoria also expressed concern over the impact of recent cuts to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, stating that directors and writers emerging from these initiatives will face challenges. Despite the setbacks in DEI commitments from major Hollywood players, Longoria remains dedicated to advocating for greater diversity and inclusion within the industry. She also expressed her eagerness to return to directing and her passion for working on international projects.
