Hollywood actress Melissa Leo has admitted that she is confused by everyone’s negative reaction to her ‘For Your Consideration’ adverts that popped up in various trade publications earlier in the month.

Leo, who bagged herself a ‘Best Supporting Actress’ Oscar nomination for her role in the boxing biopic The Fighter paid for the adverts out of her own money. In the ads she appears in several faux-fur coats which have prompted the fury of numerous animal rights activists.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, she revealed…

“I’ve been busting my ass, trying to get the movie sold and seen, and now I show up where they ask, get put into hair and make-up that they pay for, so I can promote this thing and campaign.

So I’m a little confused. I thought this is what we’re doing. This is what all the girls are doing. It didn’t seem so nomination-oriented. It was fun.”
