Actress Fired for Rant About Road Closures During NYPD Officer’s Funeral

A New York City actress found herself without employment at her theater company after she posted an insensitive rant online, complaining about the road closures for slain Officer Jason Rivera's funeral.

Although Jacqueline Guzman deleted the post once it went viral, the damage was already done.

“We do not need to shut down most of Lower Manhattan because one cop died for probably doing his job incorrectly. They kill people who are under 22 every single day for no good reason, and we don’t shut down the city for them,” she said in a TikTok video under the username @vinylboobs.

People did not take kindly to her rude rant and condemned her comments.

One Brooklyn officer described it as “totally disrespectful, not only to the NYPD but to all New York residents and to all humans. If this is the only way she can get publicity, I feel very sorry for her.”

Her now former acting employer, Face to Face Films, announced, "Face To Face Films has just been made aware of an insensitive video involving one of our members, Jacqueline Guzman."

They continued on to say they do "not support nor can condone these comments made about fallen Officer Rivera. As a result, she is no longer a member of our company."

Scientists speak out on being silenced when raising concerns about COVID lab leak theory

Some scientists have begun speaking out about efforts to silence researchers who raised concerns about the possibility that COVID-19 could have originated in a Chinese lab.

"It shot from every direction from people who we now know were actually thinking exactly the same thing but have chosen to say the opposite, which is extraordinary," Australian Dr. Nikolai Petrovsky, a Flinders University Medicine professor, told Fox News of the backlash he received for voicing concerns that the pandemic may have originated in a lab.

Petrovsky was not alone, according to reporting from Fox News' Benjamin Hall, who spoke with scientists from Israel, the U.S., Australia, Germany, the U.K., Australia and Germany. The scientists told Fox News that they received backlash and resistance to getting their work published, even from those who quietly believed in the possibility of the "lab-leak theory."

"It's taken two years for that to finally come out and be exposed," Petrovsky said.

The scientists say that there was a top-down effort aimed at protecting the scientific community from negative public attention, with fears spreading among scientists that a public realization that the pandemic may have spread due to gain-of-function research in a lab could hamper future experiments.
