5 celebrities who openly crossed picket lines or were vocally unsupportive of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes

  • The Writers' Guild of America recently reached an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
  • The agreement ended the WGA strike, but SAG-AFTRA's labor stoppage is still ongoing.

The Writers' Guild of America (WGA) recently ended their nearly five month-long strike after coming to a landmark agreement with Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) in late September. In the new contract, the writers secured better pay and benefits, as well as protections against the use of AI.

It was a major win for the WGA, and attention has now turned to the actor's union (SAG-AFTRA), which has been on strike since July and has continued bargaining with the AMPTP over their own contract.

The effects of both strikes have been felt throughout the entertainment industry, but not everyone has been supportive of the unions' labor stoppages. In fact, some stars have even crossed the picket lines established by both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, whether inadvertently or purposefully.

Here are five stars who crossed (or tried to cross) the picket lines, or were just otherwise unsupportive of the strikes.
