Chloe Moretz hates squads: ‘They appropriate exclusivity. They’re cliques!’

chloe1

Chloe Grace Moretz covers the new issue of Complex. This interview absolutely went down before Chloe inserted herself into the Kim Kardashian-nude photo issue a few weeks ago, so that’s why there are no quotes in particular about that. The Complex editorial – which you can see here if you enjoy Complex’s ridiculous format – seems to have a “teenage sorority pool party” theme, which goes along with Chloe’s age (she’s 19). There are a lot of bikini tops and trashy-looking Daisy Dukes, basically. I truly hope Chloe realizes how important it is to set goals for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just exposing our bodies in Daisy Dukes and bikini tops. Cough. Meanwhile, Chloe made some other news in the interview – apparently, Taylor Swift wanted Chloe to be in her Squad but Chloe refused. Some highlights from Complex:

She’s political: “I read a lot of political articles.” She reads the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, she says, and will gladly talk your ear off about Hillary Clinton’s education plan (she likes it) or Bernie Sanders’ soft stance on gun control (she does not like it). She’s remarkably passionate for a (famous) teenager about participating in the American democratic system, and is seriously agitated by any kind of political apathy. “I’m different than most kids my age in that sense,” Moretz says.

She’s not dating anyone specific: “I have no real plans. I don’t want anything right now. I can’t handle that right now.” She says she just likes to meet people and have fun. Case in point: I saw her exchange numbers with one of the male models after her shoot had ended—it was a seriously suave-looking boss move by her. And, judging by her thoughts on date-night restaurant selections, a fairly typical one. “I want to be with someone who’s adventurous and wants to go do something,” she says. “Don’t take me to Nobu and get me nigiri. I’m OK. I can take myself to Nobu. I don’t need someone to take me to Nobu.”

Feminism isn’t about making women more powerful than men: “No. It’s about equality—and it’s not just about women being powerful. It’s about races being powerful; genders being powerful.”

She’s anti-squad: “They appropriate exclusivity. They’re cliques!” she says with exasperation, as if she’s the only one seeing the jig…Since Moretz is friends with Selena Gomez, who in turn is friends with Taylor Swift, the person who more or less brought squadism to the mainstream, I have to ask: “Do you know Taylor Swift?” “Yes,” she says, already aware of where I’m going with this. “Did she, you know, ask you to join her squad?” “Yes,” she repeats carefully, nothing more. “And?” At this point I’ve forced celebrity Chloë Grace Moretz and 19-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz to collide. She seems to want to say a lot of things—perhaps about the “Bad Blood” singer—but already knows the repercussions of those things becoming public. I can practically feel her urge to unleash bubbling and rising to the top of her throat. Just then a smile spreads across her moon-shaped face, the padlock that keeps whatever’s in her mind just right there, and she says, measuredly, “She’s a very talented person.” “You can talk to me about these things, you know,” I say back. “You know I can’t!” she laughs.

She’s set to star in The Little Mermaid live-action remake: “We want to make this good for girls. We can’t make this regressive tale in a modern world. We’re going to flip it on its head. It’s going to feel good for women and men in the sense that it’s not just appropriating feminism, and it’s not leaning on regressive stereotypes.”

Career goals: “I want to be America’s sweetheart. I want to be beloved. I want to be an indie queen, but I want people to really love me and what I’ve done and let me be a part of their lives at home.”

A chance at Oscar: “I don’t want to win an Oscar right now. I don’t. I don’t deserve it. Not yet.”

[From Complex]

I go back and forth… is she refreshingly forward and unapologetically ambitious, or is she full of herself? Or both? I think it’s that she’s 19 years old. She’s a smart 19, but she’s still a kid in a lot of ways. I do appreciate the fact that she reads more than the trade papers and gossip blogs, and God knows I appreciate the fact that she’s smart enough to see through the squad bulls—t. I would absolutely love to know what went down between Chloe and Taylor, because it really seems like there’s a larger story there. Mean Girl Squad Drama!

    I’m so old. What happened to just having….friends? Close friends? Best friends even? Why does it have to be an official squad with a specific hashtag and aspirational members? The world has gone insane.

    • Esmom says:

      Blame social media. I predict a backlash, where every single moment and encounter isn’t documented and posted for the world to see. Hopefully sooner than later.

    • Wren says:

      Nothing. Most people do simply have friends or a “friend group”. And there is nothing new about squads. We’ve all known at least one at some point in our lives, likely at school. Perhaps we called it by a different name but the actual group is the same.

      Taylor is just making it a part of her shtick, she hardly invented it. I’m tired of it, personally, but I was never the type who belonged to such groups in the first place. The social media thing is just this wave of teen’s platform for self expression.

      • Josefina says:

        I agree. I think they are making a mountain out of an anthill. It’s high school/sorority girl drama. We’ve all been through it. You move on.

        People act like social media has turned kids into brainless, irrational narcissists. I think it’s just a new platform for teens to be teens. As I grow older, me and my friends start using facebook and twitter less and less. We have less time and just don’t see the point in it besides keeping in touch. These kids will grow out of it eventually too.

    • Erinn says:

      I find the whole squad thing more weird than anything else. There have ALWAYS been cliques – sure. I think it only really becomes problematic when the people in a tight group of friends are actively being less than polite to people who aren’t in their group.

      Like – I hang out with a set of people. I don’t just hang out with anyone and everyone – and it’s not because I have anything against other people, it’s just that this is my group of friends, and we’re tight. We don’t push people out, we don’t sit around being jerks to people not in our group, or anything, but you don’t HAVE to like everyone either.

      I think the word has such a negative meaning because of a) the way the media presents it, and b) because people hate Swift so much.

    • Alex says:

      Squad is just the new word for clique. TS just makes it part of her persona and yes exclusivity. Its exactly like the mean girl cliques we had in high school just celeb style.

      • holly hobby says:

        Yup Chloe called it right. It is a glamorized word for “clique.” if Swifty used “clique” is a negative connotation. However, if she says squad, people think aw ain’t that cute? girl power.

        TSwift should grow up.

    • Pandy says:

      Squad is the most over used/over hyped word right now. As is social media.

    • susanne says:

      I had two best friends in 2nd grade and we had matching blue satin jackets. We were the coolest ever in 1980. If we had some awesome anthem, it would have been recorded off the radio by holding up a tape player to it.
      Important point- a group like this is often about excluding others, which I do not remember doing, but then again we were 8 in montessori school.

    • Nerdista says:

      She seems fun.

  2. CornyBlue says:

    I fee like someone says this every two weeks. No one except the people in her squad thinks Taylor’s squad is anything special.

    • Josefina says:

      … And the girls complaining about it. Typical high school behavior, the hipster kids hate the popular kids, either because they wanna be popular and can’t, or because they like feeling they are smarter than them.

      Part of growing up is caring less about these things.

  3. Grace says:

    “I want to be America’s sweetheart,I want to be beloved”
    This kind of things happen naturally and not because you want it badly. She sounds desperate and even the journalist was embarassed for her

    • Linn says:

      I like that she admitted it, there are way to many people that secretly crave everybody’s love but publicly act like they are to cool for school already.

      I’m not sure how one can make the little mermaid a story “good for girls” and still have it be the little mermaid.

      The (disney) story is all about pleasing a man the little mermaid hardly knows and who doesn’t give a fuck about her to the point of giving away her voice and her identity.

      And don’t even get me started on the original story.
      The little mermaid is in constant pain while walking and dancing for the prince but does so anyway because she will die if she doesn’t manage to achieve a womans life goal of scoring prince charming.
      And then after using the little mermaid for a while and getting her hopes up he goes to marry another girl.

      • Ellie says:

        Yeesh, that’s bleak, but not surprising. I’d never heard the original story.

      • Wren says:

        Maybe the prince won’t be the End Goal of the story. I know it’s a pipe dream, but the little mermaid could still yearn for a life on land independent of him. Like maybe she could go exploring and see the world or something and he’s the one who’s like omg I can’t live without you come home.

      • Locke Lamora says:

        Most original fairytales are very bleak. I somehow can’t see Chloe as a Disney princess, but we’ll see.

      • Otaku Fairy says:

        Wow. I never heard that version of the story.

      • Dawnlizzy says:

        And then she turns into sea foam!

      • DelilahJones says:

        I feel like that’s an oversimplification of Hans Christian Anderson’s original story. Sure, the mermaid is in love with the Prince and makes huge sacrifices for him, but another motive of her wanting to be human is to have a ‘soul’ that would last forever. In the story mermaid lived longer than humans but only humans had immortal souls.

        I think there is a lot of potential to make this a great movie about a women’s pursuit of the life she wants. I have to admit, I’m a sucker for this fairytale so I can’t wait!

    • Carol says:

      I think she just sounds like a typical 19 year old. Eager to be taken seriously, passionate about world events but maybe lacking personal experience to see world’s complexities, and a bit full of herself. But kudos to her for trying to remain educated and not falling into the Hollywood trap.

  4. Lauren says:

    She seems full of herself. Girl, your movies are flops (even that 5th wave)

  5. roxane says:

    I’m 19 years old and my friends and I never called our friendship squad. So i don’t know …

  6. Anon says:

    I have been a fan of Chloe’s since she was on 30 Rock. I think she’s 19 and probably THINKS she knows everything, I was like that at 19. That doesn’t bother me. I actually really like this interview, I think its refreshing to see a 19 year old girl speaking both eloquently and confidently about whats on her mind. She’s had a few bombs recently, I’m hoping for good things for her in the future, she’s very talented.

    • Lauren says:

      A few bombs? She has many flops (even critically)

    • Kaiser says:

      She was so funny on 30 Rock & I agree that she’s 19 and thinks she’s knows everything, just like most 19-year-olds

    • Lucy2 says:

      She was great on 30 rock, and held her own with Alec Baldwin, who was really fantastic on that show.
      She has done a LOT of work already in her young career.

      • Karen says:

        She can be decent with a good director and good script but she had too bad performances like Kick-Ass, Dark Places, Carrie

      • Naya says:

        I dont know what you mean, she was good in all three of these films.

    • Wren says:

      She sounds like a normal teenager to me. You’re still learning about the world and every new thing is brand new information, so it’s natural to think that you’re the first person to understand or realize something. Since your peers are generally in the same stage, it’s easy fall into that. I know I did. That’s what makes them so insufferable. As an adult you realize there’s nothing new under the sun and it’s maddening to deal with people who haven’t yet understood this truth. It’s easy to be dismissive but just remember how you were once the same.

      I like that she is actively improving her mind and it seems like she genuinely wants to be informed.

    • Josefina says:

      I think it’s what the author wrote. She’s a smart 19, but she’s still just 19.

  7. missmerry says:

    maybe shes pretending something big went down to get people to think something big went down (between her and swifty) for attention…?

  8. Ellie says:

    We do NOT need a live action Little Mermaid, I really don’t need her ruining that for me. What are they gonna do, make the first movie shot (almost) entirely underwater? Ugh.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      Ummmm….well, due to the marvels of modern CGI technology, it seems to me that they wouldn’t have to. Or have to go to distant planets to shoot movies in a galaxy far far away. Or location scout forests full of talking trees so they can film elf movies. You know.

  9. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    This whole idea that Taylor Swift brought female friendship into the mainstream is so ridiculous. There have always been groups of female friends. Why do I even need to say this? As for Chloe, I find her irritating, but if she is serious about her career bringing her love, I fear for her. Love your job, but don’t expect it to love you back. It’s a business. It doesn’t have emotions. You might feel loved one day and hated the next. She is in for a disappointment.

    • Locke Lamora says:

      Of course there have always been female friendships, but for a while it was really popular among young starlets to say they only have male friends because women are so much drama bla bla, and now it’s “popular” to have female friend groups. These things go in circles, once people get saturated with this, they will find something else.

      I find Chloe incredibly irritating with a very pronounced special snowflake syndrom. Most people are political in their late teens, she’s not special. I like that she’s openly ambitious, but she comes off as very arrogant too.

  10. SloaneY says:

    I do not think you know what that word means.

  11. Dame Snarkweek says:

    i can appreciate her views but how mature can you sound when you reference your own maturity? Am I just too old and grumpy to give her full credit? Maybe this is just my way of telling her to stay off my lawn?

  12. Karen says:

    She seems an attention seeker

  13. OrigialTessa says:

    I didn’t have friends 7 years older than me at 19. But strangely, Chloe is probably the more mature of the two.

    • Linn says:

      I did have friends 7 years older when I was 19 and I have friends 7 years younger than me now that I’m older. I never found anything weird about it.

    • Erinn says:

      I think it mostly depends on who you’re around the most. She’s not a typical college student spending the majority of time with people in the same age group.

      I’m 25. Most of the people I consider myself closest to at work are between 30-40. I have a couple of people at work who are my age who I’m friends with, but the ones I’m closest to or interact most with are generally older. In a lot of ways, a couple of them have kind of looked out for me like I’m a younger sibling, I guess.

      Chloe works with actors for lengths of time who are in different age groups, I don’t think it’s all that weird for her to be friends with various age groups.

  14. Jenns says:

    I read the title as squats and then thought Chloe and I had something in common.

    But I’m too old for the squad thing.

  15. Oli says:

    She’s wrong when she says “feminism is about races being equal” it’s not it’s about gender and gender only. Equalism is the believe that all humans are equal. Feminism only specifies gender not race.

    • SloaneY says:

      Ah, the word salad of a 19 year old wanting desperately to seem smarter than they are.

      • Oli says:

        Some adults too, they think they know what feminism is, but really their just butthurt about men. And some women say horrible things about men and treat them horribly, feminism works both ways, if we really want to make a difference then you can’t go and be rude to them not all men are horrible. This is why I want equalism it’s about everybody and with equalism it’s like killing 6 birds with 1 stone. I know horrible reference but easiest way to explain.

      • Otaku Fairy says:

        “feminism works both ways, if we really want to make a difference then you can’t go and be rude..”

        It’s not really about ‘politeness’ though. I mean yes, in general people should try to be polite to everyone but that doesn’t mean coming off as polite should be prioritized over equality. ‘Rudeness’ shouldn’t be treated as worse than (or even equal to) some people being treated or viewed as less than because of race, ethnicity, class, physical appearance, or gender, or sexuality, if we’re talking about equality. If a person (especially a public figure) makes statements that are dehumanizing, victim-blaming, or support discrimination against a group of people that are already discriminated against, you’re not going to say, “Well, they expressed their bigotry in a polite, pretty way, so it’s all good. Impact? What impact?”
        Right?

    • perplexed says:

      I thought she meant women of other races being powerful too.

      • Oli says:

        Then she should have said that by speaking of equalism. Feminism is just for gender not race, sexuality, or religion, just gender.

      • Kitten says:

        @Oli-I think you’re getting hung up on a technicality.
        You’re making it seem like you can’t be both a feminist and an equalist, as if believeing in gender equality means you can’t also focus on other forms of discrimination.

      • Oli says:

        @kitten I know that you can be both, but I don’t think she was speaking of both. Plus if she was why not make it easier and say equalism because it covers all of the bases for equality. I just don’t think she knows what she’s talking about, “feminist” like that usually don’t.

    • Original T.C. says:

      To me it was clear she was including women of color, whom often get left out when it comes to feminism. Why is it so difficult to understand that feminism mean EQUAL treatment?

      fem·i·nism
      ˈfeməˌnizəm/
      noun
      the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic EQUALITY to men.

      • Oli says:

        But that’s why I’m talking about, I know women of color get left out. Almost everybody in this world that is not as seen as perfect (white, heterosexual male) gets left out. That’s why I advocate for equalism because it’s making sure every single human is equal to one another. Feminism just talks about gender and that’s what I think the issue is. So what if there’s equality for women do you think a woman of color isn’t still going to be treated as less than. Racism still exist, homophobia still exist, what if the woman is a lesbian she might be respected as a woman, but she will still have to deal with homophobic people and be treated badly for being a homosexual.

        @ otaku fairy I meant rude as in dehumanizing. Women do it to men too, even if it’s not talked about as much. Their are women out their who treat men just like the men who don’t want equality and treat women horribly. I’m talking about the feminist who are only feminist when it’s beneficial to them, not because they know what feminism is or care about other women then themselves.
        And I would never say that someone who is rude can get away with it because they were “polite” about it.

  16. jinni says:

    The use of the word “squad” to describe one’s friends first started in hip hop/ rap music. It wasn’t about elitism it was just another way of talking about your friends, much like the words my homeboys/ homies, my crew, etc. It’s really not that serious, but some people always got to suck all the fun out of things and make things bigger than they are.

    • PrincessMe says:

      This. Maybe I’m missing something but I’ve always thought of “squad” as just a group of friends. And quite frankly, isn’t that supposed to be “exclusive” (for lack of a better word). I’m surely not friends with every single person or even every person I know. Am I mean? No. But I’m also not “besties” with everyone.

    • Michelle says:

      Totally agree with you. My daughter has four besties and they call themselves the squad simply because they are always together. Each of them have friends and interests outside their little group, but it’s been the 5 of them 7 years now. Nothing more, nothing less. My best friends son has a group of guys that he hangs out with all the time and they have dubbed themselves as The Flock. Could that be a new trend for the men who want to hang out together a la’ Swiftie???

  17. Esther says:

    “I’m different than most kids my age ,”

    said EVERY kid her age.

  18. Ali says:

    Let’s stop saying women who are ambitious and, gasp, God forbid vocalize those goals are full of themselves. A man who articulately lays out his 10 yr business plan and says he wants to be the CEO isn’t labeled full of himself.

    • Riley J. says:

      Let’s stop assuming that when a woman is called “full of herself”, it is because she is ambitious. One doesn’t necessarily have to do with the other.

  19. Esmom says:

    Both. She sounds very much like every 19 year old I knew when I was 19. Add Hollywood to the mix and that intersection of childhood and adulthood seems even more pronounced.

  20. perplexed says:

    I didn’t know that you actually get asked to be in the squad. Well, that certainly sounds a little weird. I thought those squads just kind of evolved naturally. Even cliques do, even if they might be snobby and exclusive…

  21. gilmore says:

    God, can we just retire the word squad? the media has ran that word into the ground at this point.

  22. Cynthia says:

    Thanks Kaiser, I said the same things in the Kim posts. You know hell would have broken loose if someone had commented her Nylon cover or this spread with the sanctimonious word she used in her tweet; and I don’t even like Kim. I don’t know she slightly comes off full of herself, I’m pretty sure she’s not the only college ages girl who pay attention to politics, most of my friends can talk about who they are going to vote for in depth.

  23. Mich says:

    How do you “appropriate” exclusivity?

  24. Portugal the Stan says:

    I love Chloe.

  25. Payapa says:

    I think she is taking herself way too seriously; like most kids at 19. It’s a normal behaviour at that age but pretty annoying. I’m 32 and i have to admit that as i grow older, i find that i am easily baffled with the world which is another way of saying that i know nothing, just like Jon Snow. *sighs*

  26. Loo says:

    I love that Moretz and Vikander admit that they are ambitious and want to be movie stars. If men can do that and not be called names for it then women should be able to as well. Furthermore there is nothing wrong with being really ambitious.

    That all being said Moretz plays in nothing but stinkers that at best do okay box office for their low budgets but not enough to make her a star. She’s not even going to be nominated for an Oscar anytime soon because all she plays in is teen trash like The 5th Wave and that pointless Carrie remake she was miscast in. Whoever is helping her choose projects is doing a terrible, terrible job.

    The media is obsessed with this girl and she plays in nothing but bad films and or films that are underperformers at the box office.

  27. NeoCleo says:

    I like Chloe. She is very young but clearly she uses her head. I like that she is political. It kills me to see apathy, especially from the young, about our governmental processes. Decisions are being made now that will affect them over the course of their lifetime in ways they can’t begin to imagine. Why wouldn’t you want to play a role in that?

    She’s a talented young woman who is still trying to find her place. I thought she absolutely nailed her role as Hit Girl in Kick Ass particularly given how physical it was and how young and tiny she was.

    • Loo says:

      When is Moretz going to be known for something other than Hit-Girl? People always say they love her as Hit-Girl, fine but that film came out years ago. How long can she ride the popularity of that one role?

  28. Mimz says:

    Blah blah she’s a teen, and yes she’s wearing Daisy dukes and bra-tops like other teens her age. I never thought her issue was on the nudity itself but the reason/concept behind it. She did it for a magazine, Kim did it because… She felt like it. Whatever, it’s an old conversation. Doesn’t matter anymore.
    She’s a bit full of herself but I like her awareness that she does not deserve an oscar right now. I wish more actresses were so aware that they aren’t good enough to earn one yet (I’m looking at you JLaw!!! – and yes, I’ve watched her Oscar movies and I think she was very good but not really Oscar worthy but… what do I know?!).
    I hope she doesn’t get torn apart because of this and… I think she’s a good actress, I loved her on “If I Stay” even if it’s teen drama, it was quite sweet and she made a great couple with the guy (forgot his name, too lazy to google).

    • perplexed says:

      ” She did it for a magazine, Kim did it because… She felt like it. Whatever, it’s an old conversation. Doesn’t matter anymore.”

      Yeah, I think the context is different. Actresses generally do these kinds of shoots in a performance kind of way — to show that they can play other roles. (Not that I think it’s really necessary that they do this or would want to do this myself, but at least there’s some semblance of a point to it). Kim was in her bathroom and posted it because….? What was the point? Granted, maybe there doesn’t have to be one, but I think posting a selfie of yourself fully naked in your bathroom on Instagram isn’t really much different than walking around on your lawn naked (which last I checked no one does).

      • Anon33 says:

        I don’t see any distinction at all between the two things. In fact, isn’t it sort of worse that Chloe “only” did it for business reasons? At least-by your own comment-Kim was doing what SHE wanted, not what some likely male art director told her to do, like Chloe.

        And if we’re going to talk about people doing their jobs, whether you believe it or not, whether you like it or not, posting naked selfies is pretty much Kim’s job. So again, not seeing any distinction except that people just don’t like Kim.

      • perplexed says:

        That’s a fair point. Maybe I just don’t get why Kim thinks I have to see her naked. I’m not sure if she’s doing it for her self (what I said is I don’t understand the point of posting a naked selfie in your bathroom — it doesn’t even look artistic which some naked portraits can do), but I think it’s somewhat arrogant for her to assume I’d want to see any part of her. (And I know I don’t have to click on any links if I don’t want to see it. Which I don’t. I don’t click. But the media then shares the image all over the search engine sites, and I’m sort of bombarded by her image, which I didn’t ask to see. So I suppose I’d fault the media more than her).

        I disagree that posting naked selfies is Kim’s job. Her job is being a reality show star. Not all reality show stars post naked selfies in their bathroom. I don’t think I’ve seen images of like that from Lauren Conrad.

    • teacakes says:

      the funny thing is, Jlaw at 20 (the age at which she got her Winter’s Bone Oscar nomination) was just one year older than Chloe and actually deserved the statue if we were going on merits of the performance alone, way more than Portman for that mess Black Swan or even her own Oscar two years later for Silver linings Playbook.

      It’s not really about not ‘deserving’ an Oscar at that age, it’s about the fact that the Academy won’t give it to you even if you do.

    • Otaku Fairy says:

      I don’t really see the distinction either. A celebrity selfie on twitter isn’t any more or less attention-seeking than a celebrity photoshoot that will be all over the internet and on a magazine.

        I think it may be the fact that the media will tell me that a celebrity posted a selfie is annoying to me, like how they’ll tell me about various tweets as if that’s actual news. I think it may actually be easier for me to ignore a magazine since I’d have to come to Celebitchy to know that a Chloe Mo retz interview exists. Even Facebook will go out if it’s way to let me know that a celebrity selfies exists.

    How hard is it to just say,well that’s not for me, and move on? No judgement, no negativity, just leave people alone and go about your life. Tired of busybodies.

    She’s only 19 and the world is a different place at that age, it’s well before reality sinks in and changes your understanding of life.
    In 10 years she will laugh at her younger self but I like that she has her own mind or at least feels she does.

  31. perplexed says:

    I know that most 19 year olds do think of themselves as different, but in Hollywood she probably does come across as different if she’s reading Wall Street Journal articles. I can’t really imagine Miley Cyrus or whoever else doing the same thing, even if the internet does make it a lot easier for young people to access information nowadays. In general, I think it is easier for young people to come across as “smarter” these days because of the internet, but in Hollywood she could be somewhat of an anomaly.

    Nonetheless, I thought her answer to the Oscar question was a little…naive. It might have been better for her to simply say that she doesn’t want to think that far ahead or something rather than saying she doesn’t want to win an Oscar at her age, because last I checked actors, male or female, as a general rule don’t win Oscars at 19. Even if you give a great performance like Leo DiCaprio did in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, you’re still not going to win one. So when she answered the question I was, like, “duh, it doesn’t matter if don’t want to win one. They’re not going to give one to you anyway.”

    “Squad” is the media’s term. So Tay wanted to be friends with her and she said no? Seems like maybe Chloe is the snobby one. SMH Why can’t we just let each other BE???? Why do these “celebrities” feel the need to call each other out in interviews to try to show how they are “better” or “smarter” than someone else?? Just talk about yourself. That’s it. Keep the snobbery to yourself.

      I’m sure the reporter is the one who asked those questions. Inevitably, they were going to bring it up and she has to respond. The journalist is stirring the pot.

    I love the bit about ‘I can take myself to Nobu’. Hell yeah girl, take yourself to Nobu! Be independent and self sufficient, but also allow others to treat you nicely from time to time. It doesn’t take away from your self worth or contributions to the world.

  34. Miran says:

    Yes, all ‘squads’ are are the cliques of the 90s.

  35. mialouise says:

    Squads “appropriate” exclusivity? Wouldn’t they “promote” exclusivity? Or is “appropriate” just a word to be randomly inserted?

      I was wondering why so few people noticed that. yes I think she was going for promote 😀

    I haven’t read the comments, but Chloe is not offering just her body.This might be a sexier photoshoot, but she is not a nun. She is a young woman with opinions, and I think she is a fairly good actress.
    I’ve followed her since around she was in Let me in and Kick Ass. I used to see her posing annoyingly pursing her lips. Thankfully she overcame that stage and I usually like what she has to say. She does not seem to be braindead, like other celebs who only sell their “lifestyle” on several media.

  37. Dangles says:

    Two articles on her in week. I’m glad she’s finally getting some coverage around here.

  38. Gaby says:

    Well, she sounds full of herself, like a teenager, it’s only normal. Her personality doesn’t bother me, but her acting is a vert different story. She was good in Kick Ass and 30 Rock but that’s about it, I find her cringe worthy as an actress, but she’s young, there’s still room for improvement.

  39. Green Tea says:

    “I want to be America’s sweetheart. I want to be beloved. I want to be an indie queen, but I want people to really love me and what I’ve done and let me be a part of their lives at home.”

    I think she’s going to have a lot of problems. Child stars need extra therapy.

  40. fiona says:

    Unpopular opinion here but I just can’t with this stuck up girl.

    “I’m different than most kids my age in that sense,” No, maybe by hollywood standards but PLENTY of teenagers your age in first world countries are working hard to further their education. To better themselves and are interested in more than keeping up with the krapashians. PLENTY of them aren’t vapid idiots like you’re assuming.

    Give me a break. Every time I read something about her, I dislike her even more. Other commentators here go easy on her due to being “only 19”. When I was 19 (which wasn’t that long ago), I wasn’t anywhere near that arrogant and would roll my eyes at my peers who believed they were special snowflakes. Keep in mind Chloe has a PR team and people HELPING her cultivate interviews. Imagine how insufferable she would sound without them.

    Kind of gross how she plays up the lolita image as well.
