Brenda Song Slams Hollywood’s ‘Only One Woman’ Mentality: ‘A Precedent Set by Men’

For years, Hollywood has pushed the narrative that there’s only room for one woman at the top. It’s a mentality that Brenda Song knows all too well, but one that she’s thrilled to see changing.
With a long career beginning over on the Disney Channel to working with powerhouses like Mindy Kaling and Kate Hudson in her latest project “Running Point” on Netflix, Song has witnessed firsthand how women are breaking down barriers, supporting one another and redefining what success looks like in Hollywood.
“Men are the ones that make us feel there’s only one slot for us,” Song said on TheWrap’s “UnWrapped” Podcast. The actress explains that for years there was a sense of scarcity: one minority role per project, one female lead per ensemble cast. It created an unnecessary tension among women, one that she believes is finally being dismantled as the industry begins embracing more diverse stories.
