\u201cWhy am I not surprised that a Black woman named Kim Alsup was treated horribly on set of the Dahmer series? When you center a racist serial killer in a story then you contribute to the conditions that made his killing possible.\u201d

\u201c*Kim Alsup, a Black PA, slammed the Dahmer production. It\u2019s important to say the names of the people mistreated by the industry or else we\u2019re not helping with anything\u201d

\u201c@MetroUK Was there anything else that happened besides being called the wrong name? I read the article and that was the only example given.\u201d

\u201c@Variety @LegendDurham Every set treats it\u2019s crew horribly\u201d

\u201c@latimes There is not a Black person alive or dead that hasn\u2019t been repeatedly mistaken for another Black co-worker. Most of us are savvy enough to turn the tables on them by answering to those names; leaving them high and dry on assignments and effectively daring to admit their mixups.\u201d

\u201c@Variety She is 100% speaking for herself.\u201d

\u201c@Variety Not negating her experience- but to be clear, she said only two black women on the crew. There were plenty of black actors on the set, and a quick look at the IMDb shows many black crew members, including Janet Mock, who was an executive producer.\u201d

\u201c@Variety Not to be insensitive, but besides the name confusion (which seems exaggerated), she doesn't give any examples of the bad treatment? And can people stop co-opting "PTSD" for ordinary life experiences, like not enjoying your job??\u201d

\u201c@Variety PTSD seems like a REACH!\u201d

— Variety (@Variety) 1664573378

\u201c@MetroUK Not discrediting that she had a bad work experience but claiming PTSD when Dahmer\u2019s surviving victims and families of victims must be embroiled in horrendous ongoing trauma seems way more insensitive than forgetting someones name\u201d
