Just three days before the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike is set to conclude following negotiations with the AMPTP, the guild’s president, Fran Drescher, was seen taking pictures with Kim Kardashian in Italy for a fashion show.
The pair was seen together on an Instagram stories post from Kardashian, which included the caption, “My fashion icon! Always on my mood board! I seriously love this woman! The oh so gorgeous @officialfrandrescher”. Many would assume that Drescher would be in the midst of negotiations as the agreement is set to be concluded at midnight on July 14th.
According to Deadline, Drescher hasn’t been in town since June 29th, where she was in New York to appear on Good Morning America. The Screen Actors Guild had responded following the backlash Drescher has received from the public given her time away, stating, “President Drescher is working as a brand ambassador for Dolce and Gabbana on location in Italy. This was a commitment fully known to the negotiating committee. She has been in negotiations every day either in person or via video conference. President Drescher is managing a physically demanding schedule across three time zones, overseeing negotiations and working on location daily as well as managing her parents’ needs in Florida. She is returning to the states and will be on the ground in LA tomorrow and will continue to chair our negotiations.”
The decision of SAG-AFTRA vs AMPTP will come to a close on Wednesday. Read more about the negotiation extension here.
