I always enjoy it when a celebrity or company is revealed to be trash through a specific incident and then other celebrities and famous people come forward, with receipts, to prove this. Such is the case with the Hallmark channel, which recently pulled some sweet ads for the company Zola featuring a lesbian couple getting married and kissing at the altar. As Kaiser reported, the company which protested this very benign ad was the group 1 Million Moms, which has all of 4,239 followers on Twitter. Hallmark caved to this not at all influential (not that it would make a difference) hate group. They eventually reinstated the ads, but only after a ton of backlash, calls for a boycott and Zola vowing to no longer advertise with them. Now Hilarie Burton, who stars in the very cute and actually diverse Lifetime movie A Christmas Wish (I watched it, Pam Grier has a major role and one of the lead characters brothers has a husband and its treated as matter-of-fact), has some receipts about Hallmark. Here are her tweets, in order, about her sh-tty experience with them asking for more diversity and being completely shut down.
Just going through some old emails from a #Hallmark job I was ?let go? from back in January. I had insisted on a LGBTQ character, an interracial couple and diverse casting. I was polite, direct and professional. But after the execs gave their notes on the script and NONE of my Requests were honored, I was told ?take it or leave it?.
I left it. And the paycheck. Shitty being penalized for standing up for inclusivity. I really wanted that job. It was close to my house. It paid really well. It was about the military, which you all know I hold dear. But?
Id walk away again in a heartbeat. The bigotry comes from the top and permeates the whole deal over there. I?ve been loudly cheering for @lifetimetv all year because they heard my concerns + RALLIED! You want inclusive Christmas magic?! We got it.
Love is love?????? #receipts
Key point here: I have a wonderful husband @JDMorgan who works his ass off so I have the luxury to choose morals over paying bills. Not everyone has that! Nor should we be forced to be dependent. If I had to cover our mortgage and was told ?take it or leave it?, I?d be f-ked.

Hilarie didnt even plug her movie! Watch A Christmas Wish. They also make fun of romance movie tropes, like how cute meets can be annoying, and how the guys in romcoms can seem like stalkers.
Given the fact that Hilarie got fired, as a white woman, for asking about diversity, can you imagine what people of color go through? We just heard about Gabrielle Unions experience with at Americas Got Talent with NBC. The Hallmark movies are SO WHITE and so straight. Its very noticeable and Im not surprised that Hilarie had this experience with them. Watch Lifetime movies! Seriously #BoycottHallmark, their movies are cardboard cutout of romances anyway.

Back in April of this year, Jeffrey Dean Morgan brought his mother and his girlfriend, Hilarie Burton, to the premiere of one of his films. I was surprised to see him with Hilarie Burton - she looks very young, and very? interchangeable with every other brunette chick on the CW. Several commenters pointed out that Hilarie and JDM hadn?t just started dating - they had been quietly ?seeing each other? for about a year, and that Hilarie had given birth to their baby. A few weeks later, Us Weekly confirmed the total random gossip and speculation that Hilarie had indeed given birth, and that everything had been very quiet and hush-hush, and that Hilarie basically went into hiding for a year. It was a really strange story. And it gets even weirder.
Hilarie just got a gig on White Collar, filming in New York. I guess the Associated Press sent a reporter out to ask her questions about JDM and the baby, and her answers were just? weird. Like, she got to bone JDM for more than a year, and she wants to front like she doesn?t want to brag about it! What the hell?
New mom Hilarie Burton (formerly of One Tree Hill) is breaking her silence — just a tad — about the baby boy she and boyfriend Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Watchmen) secretly welcomed earlier this year.
As first revealed in Us Weekly in May, Burton, 28, began dating Morgan, 44, in 2009, and “their relationship moved pretty quickly,” an insider told Us. The actress was not photographed in public between May 6, 2009 and April 20, 2010, when she and Morgan went public with their romance at an L.A. film premiere.
Now back at work to film episodes of USA’s series White Collar in NYC, Burton told the Associated Press recently that she and Morgan are “really happy, and we’re a very good team. And we got very lucky that our family is what it is.”
But Burton still would not tell the AP the name of their son or his birth date.
“I want to protect them like a mama wolf should,” she explained of her new family.
Burton divorced One Tree Hill assistant director Ian Prange in 2008. It’s the first child for Burton, but not Morgan: he learned in March 2009 that he had a 5-year-old son with actress Sherrie Ross.

It?s not like Hilarie and JDM are some super-famous couple. In fact, the seeming weirdness of this situation probably gives them more press than if they had their publicists issue a short little announcement. She won?t even confirm the kid?s name?!? Oh, and maybe I could understand it if she was leaving Hollywood and she was just tired of the life, but she?s still acting! She?s on White Collar, for goodness sake. This whole thing is just so strange. Do you think it?s all about the sketchy timeline for when he and Mary-Louise Parker broke up? Are there more secret love children out there?
