In her new movie, “Hounddog”, that is. The 12-year old actress (”Charlotte’s Web”) is shown in the film being raped by a man, and that’s got all the usual suspects on the religious right in an uproar, and all the non-religious left clamoring to defend the film, including Fanning, who tells the media: “When it gets to the point of [people] attacking my mother, my agent … my teacher, who were all on the set that day [when the rape scene was shot], that started to make me mad.” Like, yeah, you, like, tell them, Dakota. Heck, you’re 12 years old, you know what you’re doing. Right?
In “Hounddog,” Fanning plays 12-year-old Lewellen, who lives in a Deep South town in the 1950s. Her dysfunctional family is poor, and the household is run by her grandmother. And she gets rape, because, according to director Deborah Kampmeier, “She should be applauded to the voice she has given to so many silenced women.” So, you know, that means 12-year old Dakota Fanning has to get raped.
Stupid Hollywood.
“I’m, like, 12 years old, I, like, know what I’m doing, and junk. Like.”
