Scarlett Johansson is at the centre of an online storm after social-media posts claimed the actress believes LGBTQ+ themes do not belong in children's cartoons. The claim has been circulating online, with users debating the alleged position and some calling for a boycott.
In short, a viral social-media claim appeared saying Scarlett Johansson believes LGBTQ+ themes do not belong in children's cartoons. The claim has been reposted across social media and is now generating backlash against her.
But there is no verified evidence that Scarlett actually said it. I couldn't find an original interview, speech, video, or statement from Johansson containing those words. So the real story at this point is less “Scarlett Johansson made an anti-LGBTQ statement” and more “Scarlett Johansson is being criticized online over a statement attributed to her that has not been substantiated.”
A March 2026 fact-check found that similar claims about celebrities opposing “LGBTQ themes” in children's content were fabricated, while Johansson's beauty brand, The Outset, has publicly participated in Pride-related support.
So the internet is having a very real argument over something the celebrity may never have said.
When a quote travels faster than the truth, does repeating it make people believe it — even when nobody can find the original words?
Have you seen the actual interview or video where Scarlett Johansson supposedly said this?
