Part 4/8:
Contrary to the caricature of Kennedy as an ardent woke crusader, recent insider reports challenge this narrative. According to Matthew Baloni from The Town Podcast, Kathleen Kennedy does not identify as, nor is she recognized as, the "woke warrior" many fans believe her to be. Instead, he asserts that she must be convinced to adopt diversity-driven initiatives; she is not inherently pushing these agendas out of conviction.
"Kathleen Kennedy is not that old South Park thing. She’s not known as the woke warrior. She kind of has to be convinced from everything I’ve been told," Baloni explains.
