Less than a week after Disney Studios severed business ties with Hollywood director James Gunn over his controversial tweets, Legally Blonde actor Selma Blair has initiated a petition urging Disney to rehire Gunn.

The 46-year-old extended support to Gunn on Twitter, hailing the latter as "one of the good ones." "Marvel: RE-HIRE JAMES GUNN — Sign the Petition! https://chn.ge/2JIuUrB via @Change. Because if people are punished despite changing, then what does that teach people about owning mistakes and evolving? This man is one of the good ones (sic)," she tweeted.
