Archives“many deaf people…angry” at Christy.
Christy Smith, a Survivor Amazon cast member who is deaf, has been the target of both “praise [and] scathing criticism,” The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Her critics “want her to use sign language when she speaks, and to teach other members of her all-female tribe how to sign” and “are particularly critical of her choosing to read lips and speak instead of insisting on a sign-language interpreter.” A CBS exec tells the paper that they didn’t offer an interpreter, but it “was completely her decision” to rely on lip-reading.
