Walt Disney's grandniece agrees with Meryl Streep saying he was a racist, misogynist and anti-Semite

Abigail Disney, the grandniece of Walt Disney, has spoken out in regards to Meryl Streep's criticism of Disney, calling him a "bigot" and saying that he was racist, sexist and a supporter of anti-Semitism, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Abigail ultimately said she has mixed feelings but loved Streep's remarks.

Abigail, whose grandfather Roy O. Disney was Walt's older brother and co-founder of The Walt Disney Company, went to Facebook to share her thoughts. She wrote:

"I hadn't heard a word about this Meryl Streep/Walt Disney flap till this morning. Funny how no one mentioned it to me.... Like I was living in some kind of information bubble and nobody wanted to hurt my feelings or something. But if anyone is going to have mixed feelings about a cultural icon, wouldn't it be a member of the family??? More than anyone else???"

She added: "And if you are going to have mixed feelings about a family member (and we all do) take it from me, you really need to be as honest as possible about those feelings, or else you are going to lead yourself into many a blind alley in life!! ... Anti-Semite? Check. Misogynist? OF COURSE!! Racist? C'mon he made a film (Jungle Book) about how you should stay 'with your own kind' at the height of the fight over segregation! As if the 'King of the Jungle' number wasn't proof enough!! How much more information do you need? But damn, he was hella good at making films and his work has made billions of people happy. There's no denying it. So there ya go. Mixed feelings up the wazoo."

Ten hours later, Abigail went back to Facebook to clarify some of her previous statements. "I LOVED what Meryl Streep said. I know he was a man of his times and I can forgive him, but Saving Mr Banks was a brazen attempt by the company to make a saint out of the man."

Abigail attempted to renounce her share of profits from the Disneys' investment in the Ahava cosmetics company back in 2012 because she believed they were pillaging occupied natural resources. She was legally unable to renounce the profits, so she donated them to "organizations working to end this illegal exploitation."
