THE CRUEL REASON ALICIA SILVERSTONE WAS NEVER CAST AGAIN AFTER BATMAN

Alicia Silverstone went from the most famous teenager on MTV to an eight-to-ten-million-dollar Columbia Pictures deal at eighteen years old. Then within two years, one Entertainment Weekly article comparing her to "Babe the pig" while filming Batman & Robin destroyed everything. Tabloids called her "Fatgirl," paparazzi chanted it at her in airports, and a storyboard artist on set even mocked her weight in a cartoon but was never disciplined. She was twenty years old and weighed an estimated one hundred thirty pounds. Meanwhile, her co-star George Clooney made the exact same film, joked about it on talk shows for twenty-five years, and won an Oscar. In this video, we break down the real reason Alicia Silverstone was never cast again after Batman. From the body-shaming that made her stop loving acting entirely, to the double standard that let Clooney thrive from the same disaster, to her comeback as the biggest star on Acorn TV with "Irish Blood" and the upcoming Clueless sequel series on Peacock. This isn't just a story about one bad movie. It's a story about what Hollywood does to young women and what happens when they stop playing along.
