Mayim Bialik slams religion critics

Mayim Bialik, best known for playing Amy Farah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory, has hit back at people who have criticised her for talking about her religious beliefs in a recent interview.

Mayim wrote on her Facebook page: “To the man who admonished me for discussing religion because it’s ‘supposed to be a private matter’. It is private until Fox news asks you about it because you’re on a TV show. And also, I’m Jewish... It’s my ethnicity and people hood. It’s public whether I like it or not!”

In the interview in question, Mayim had responded to a news anchor saying that she thought that being religious or “observant” in Hollywood isn’t seen as “trendy”.
