'Nobody Wants This' Creator Erin Foster Says She Disagrees With Star Adam Brody on Israel-Gaza
Photo: Washington TimesErin Foster, creator of the Netflix series Nobody Wants This, said she disagrees with lead actor Adam Brody's call for a free Palestine, while saying their working relationship remains good. Foster made the remarks on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, hosted by Amanda Hirsch. A preview clip from the Oct. 27 episode appeared on Entertainment Weekly on Friday. Brody, who was raised Jewish, had made his comments to GQ the previous month. Foster called the issue complicated and said her set resembles dinner tables where people debate and disagree. She said she loves Adam but disagrees with him, and that this is fine. She said she wants Jewish fans to know she hears them, and called the show a love letter to Judaism. Foster converted to Judaism shortly before marrying music executive Simon Tikhman in 2019, and the series, which premiered in 2024, is loosely based on their relationship. Its third season arrived this week.
The right-leaning outlets diverge. The Washington Times headline and short excerpt state only that Foster disagrees with Brody's criticism of Israel, with no quotes or context in the text provided. The New York Post's headline concerns a possible Season 4 and a character Foster would like to add, and its opening text is a list of entertainment links, with no mention of Brody. Left-leaning outlets, The Guardian US and HuffPost, lead with the disagreement and quote Foster at length. They add that she has an acting role this season and describe the show's premise and her conversion. The Guardian cites Brody's reference to death and misery in Palestine. The alternative-leaning A.V. Club adds that Brody called Israel's actions genocide, that Foster did not say what she disagrees with, and that rejecting that view would conflict with United Nations findings.
