Wahlberg, Stallone, Washington didn’t leave SAG for new union [Video]

High-profile actors did not leave SAG-AFTRA to create their own actor’s union that focuses on “no-woke” values. The claim stems from a satirical website.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is an American labor union that represents 160,000 individuals across the country. SAG-AFTRA members include broadcast journalists, dancers, DJs, recording artists and actors, including familiar movie stars.

Recently, social media posts have gone viral claiming three major Hollywood stars have left SAG-AFTRA to create a new union that is purportedly more in line with their “no-woke” values.

A portion of one post claims: “Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, and Sylvester Stallone have all resigned from The Screen Actors Guild to create a new ‘no-woke’ union focused on traditional values. The new non-woke studio will feature acting legends like Scott Baio, Gina Carano, and the guy who played Hercules.”

Other posts include a meme that says the actor’s new guild is “dedicated to traditional values.”
