Marina Sirtis picks fight with Lin-Manuel Miranda over a BLM tweet…later called out by Mara Wilson

On Thursday evening, members of the Twitter-verse were treated to the most unlikely of online feuds. 

It all began when Star Trek alum Marina Sirtis, 65, called out Lin-Manuel Miranda, 40, for serving ‘pointless platitudes’ to his following in an attempt to appear involved in the Black Lives Matter movement.

Though Sirtis did eventually apologize for attacking Miranda, a major curveball was thrown her way when Matilda star Mara Wilson, 32, accused her of making insensitive racial remarks in the past.

‘Could you for once in your life, say something that actually matters at this time of crisis,’ wrote Sirtis in her initial reply to Miranda’s now deleted tweet.

The Hamilton creator’s deleted tweet read: ‘Gmorning. Keep going. Listen to the aches. Learn from your mistakes. Get right with your guts. Keep going.’

Soon after Marina’s public call out, fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda began to flood her feed with evidence of his genuine dedication and compassion towards the current protests and other cultural issues.  

One super fan noted that Miranda’s current ‘pinned tweet’ features ‘bail funds’ for BLM protesters and that the Broadway alum has actively ‘retweeted a lot of links to helpful resources, exposing them to a huge and eager audience.’

‘It may not be everyone’s best choice of activism, but to say he’s doing nothing is disingenuous, at least to me,’ they continued.

Marina thanked the fan for the information and admitted that she ‘did not know’ any of that information before putting Miranda on blast. 

After battling it out with Hamilton fans for a few hours, the actress returned to Twitter to send out a proper apology to Miranda.

‘Rereading some of my tweets today. Maybe I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. Apologies to anyone I’ve offended,’ wrote Sirtis, though she failed to tag Lin-Manuel in the tweet.

She then retweeted a post made by a follower regarding the hypocrisy of Americans complaining about ‘looting’ during protests, when European colonizers technically ‘looted’ Native Americans upon ‘discovering’ America.  

‘I’ll tell you what White people, if you are against looting, then how about you start by returning all of the land that you looted from Black people and Native Americans,’ wrote the follower, to which Sirtis replied: ‘THIS!’

But, in the curveball of the century, Wilson decided to give Sirtis a taste of her own medicine by accusing her of being disingenuous towards the movement.

‘Hi Marina! Remember when we did a Con together and you said that America had no history, and when I said Native Americans did, you said “the Native Americans never built anything”? Because I do,’ wrote Wilson in the tweet seen by her over 5000,000 followers.  

In the replies to her shocking tweet, Wilson clarified to a follower that this conversation between her and Marina happened ‘maybe two years ago.’ 

She followed up her call-out by writing: ‘Love to see somebody who said the most openly racist s**t I’ve heard in the past few years in front of me get praised for their actions on here now.’

One confused follower thought she was directing her indirect message at Lin-Manuel Miranda, but Mara quickly clarified and defend his character.

‘No. I’ve met him. He seems like a completely genuine guy to me. Also, I’m an annoying theater nerd, so I’m a bit tired of people who dislike him just for being annoying theater nerd,’ wrote the actress.

Miranda did not reply to either Sirtis or Wilson throughout the entirety of Thursday’s Twitter battle.
