Lily Gladstone, who on Sunday became the first Indigenous woman to win a Best Actress Golden Globe for her performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” told Rolling Stone that it would be “unfair” to blame “Reservation Dogs” star Devery Jacobs’ for her criticisms of the movie.

Jacobs, a First Nations actress who now costars in Marvel’s “Echo” on Disney+, blasted the film when it first came out. “Each of the Osage characters felt painfully underwritten,” Jacobs wrote on social media at the time, adding that it was “f—king hellfire” to watch “the horrors white men inflicted on us.”

In a Rolling Stone interview published on Friday, the writer noted that Gladstone’s “face drops” when asked about Jacobs’ comments.
