Asked about her former co-star’s claims that comedy had been ruined by ‘the extreme left and PC crap’, the actor said ‘that’s a red flag’

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has pushed back at former co-star Jerry Seinfeld’s negative remarks about “political correctness” in comedy, saying that having “an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing” and that complaining about political correctness is “a red flag, because it sometimes means something else”.

Louis-Dreyfus was speaking to the New York Times and was asked about Seinfeld’s claim that TV comedy had been wrecked by “the extreme left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people”. Louis-Dreyfus responded by saying: “I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing. It doesn’t mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result.”
