Add Debi Mazar to the list of parents 🦄angered by “13 Reasons Why♈.”
The “Younger” star took 💎to social media thiꩲs week to rail against the Netflix show, which she says her 12-year-old watched without her permission.
“I could give you more than 13 reasons why I wish this show never exist🎃ed,” Mazar . “As an American, I believe in free꧋dom of speech . . . However, this show romanticizes suicide. My 12 yr old kid managed to watch it without me knowing. We had a talk about it, but . . . It’s just feeding their brains w/BAD ideas.”
The teen suicide drama, which was recently renewed for a third season, has sparked controversy ever since its first season aired in 2017. Its graphic depiction of suicide and sexual assault have prompted parental protests — and now Mazar has joined the outcry.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings the show, saying “nobody has to watch๊ it.” What he didn’t address was the issue of kids going behind their parents’ backs to watch it, as is the case in the Mazar household. At last look, her post had more than 12,000 likes.
