Comedian Leanne Morgan calls out Hollywood for living in a 'bubble' and misjudging what audiences want to see

Comedian Leanne Morgan is calling out Hollywood for living in a "bubble." During a recent appearance on " The Women of Joy Show " podcast, the 60-year-old actress discussed the idea that Christian women don't consume media, with host, Maegan Waldrep Schwindling, saying they want "quality" content, but without "women in their panties shooting bows and arrows and all the things like it." "Honest to goodness, I think in the secular world, I think people, no, I think a lot of people don't want to see all that," she said.

"I think a lot of people don't want to see all that, and I think they're in a bubble out there, and they think people want to see that, but they're not in the middle of the United States." She went on to give an example from when she was filming a movie with Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell, in which she played a Southern mother of four, who in the script was meant to curse in front of her children.

FORMER DISNEY STAR DAVID HENRIE REJECTED 'SECULAR' HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE AFTER LIFE-CHANGING MONASTERY VISIT Morgan recalled telling the director that a Southern mother of four "wouldn't talk like that in front of these children." In that case, the director, Nick Stoller, told her, "You know better than I do, Leanne, and you do what you think is best." "So I think they think in their minds, 'Oh, everybody's talking like this, everybody wants this,' but I don't think the majority of people do," she said.

"Or not in the south, especially when you're portraying southern characters.

Or anywhere really." She also explained that growing up, no one in her family used swear words and while "it's okay if somebody else wants to use it," she doesn't care to use them herself.

The comedian is now starring in the Netflix show, "Leanne," in which she portrays a Southern mother in her 50s who is rebuilding her life after her husband left her for a younger woman.

In addition to making sure Southern Christians were not stereotyped on her show, she also felt the pressure to make sure the show was a success, saying she was reminded all the time how much it cost to make the show and how many people were relying on it, saying, "I've prayed more than I've ever prayed in my life." "I really relied on my faith and would pray, 'God get me through this,'" she said.

"I just had to rely on the Lord and know that he had me there.

There's a reason for me to be there.

But I could feel that every day.
