Calls to ban ‘Grease’ over claims of sexism, racism and homophobia
The 1970s musical hit Grease has come under fire after it was screened by the BBC on Boxing Day, causing many to re-evaluate the hit romantic comedy. Forty-two years after its cinema release, the cult classic doesn’t appear to be ageing well, with critics calling it ‘misogynistic’, ‘rapey’ and encouraging ‘slut-shaming’.
Brits who watched the film were outraged, with some even calling for Grease to be removed from screens altogether.
