Ellise Shafer “Blonde” author Joyce Carol Oates, who penned the biographical fiction novel that the Netflix film is based on, has weighed in on the discourse surrounding Andrew Dominik’s controversial portrait of Marilyn Monroe. On Friday, Oates answered some burning questions from fans via Twitter, including about backlash the film has received that it exploits Monroe’s trauma.

post to his social media app Truth Social on Wednesday, he noted that the war between Russia and Ukraine “would definitely not have happened if I were President.” He went on to offer his personal assistance in establishing a peace deal, writing: “Both sides need and want it.
