Paloma Faith, singer and actress in series such as ‘Pennyworth’ and ‘Dangerous Liaisons’, watched the film “The Little Mermaid” and it is particularly “caustic” for the story of the film.

More specifically, she wrote on social media: “As a mother of girls, I don’t want my children to think it’s ‘okay’ to give up your voice and your strength to love a man.” Faith said in a now-deleted Instagram post spotted by Metro, according to Dealine. “What the….

“The Little Mermaid” had a very strong opening in the U.S. as well as other countries, taking in $68 million in foreign markets for a worldwide debut of $185.8 million.
