Subject: Peter Rabbit film producers apologise over allergy scene
Written By: Philip Eno on 02/12/18 at 2:58 am
The makers of the new film Peter Rabbit have apologised after facing a backlash over their depiction of a character's allergy. A scene in the film shows a character who suffers a blackberry allergy being pelted with them by a gang of bunnies. In a joint statement, Sony Pictures and the filmmakers said they "should not have made light" of the issue. Campaigners condemned the scene and some Twitter users adopted the hashtag #boycottpeterrabbit. The charity Kids with Food Allergies Foundation said in a Facebook post "food allergy 'jokes' are harmful to our community". A petition calling on Sony Pictures to apologise also attracted thousands of signatures.
