‘Industry’ Star Myha’la ‘Concerned’ About Losing Jobs Due to Ceasefire Posts

The buzzy HBO drama Industry, which premiered its third season Sunday, is known for its gutsy storylines as it follows the lives and careers of young bankers in London.

“I’ve been concerned that I’m going to lose a job opportunity,” Myha’la told the magazine in a new profile, in reference to her social media posts calling for a “ceasefire now.” And even though other stars have suffered backlash and lost jobs for speaking up on the issue, Myha’la said she has no plans to stop being vocal. “I’m sure that I already have” lost some job opportunities due to the posts, Myha’la continued.
