Dakota Johnson slams Hollywood, calls industry a 'mess' in scathing critique

Dakota Johnson isn't holding back.

The "Materialists" actress, 35, offered a scathing critique of Tinseltown, calling the industry a "mess."

During her appearance on the show "Hot Ones," Johnson was asked why "Hollywood is risk-averse."

DAKOTA JOHNSON HAS ONE, NON-NEGOTIABLE DATING DEAL-BREAKER

"I think it's hard when creative decisions are made by a committee, and it's hard when creative decisions are made by people who don't even really watch movies or know anything about them … that tends to be what's occurring a lot," Johnson shared with host Sean Evans. 

Johnson, who has grown up in the business as the daughter of actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, is no stranger to the inner workings of Hollywood. 

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" actress' comments come as studios continue to create sequels and remakes, with original storytelling often sidelined.

"When something does well… studios want to keep that going so they remake the same things," she claimed. "But humans don't want that. They want fresh. They want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things."

She added, "So I don't know, I guess it's all just a bit of a mess right now, isn't it?" 

The "Madame Web" star's comments come after she recently shared her dating-deal breaker. 

During a guest appearance on "Today" with her "Materialists" co-star Chris Evans, the two were asked, "If either of you were to engage with a real-life matchmaker, what would be one non-negotiable for you?"

While Evans, 43, shared that any potential interest "must love dogs," his co-star had a more blunt reply.

"Like, not an a------," Johnson said to laughter from Evans and the audience.

"That's concise," Evans quipped with a smile. "There it is. Nail on the head."

Johnson portrays a professional matchmaker, and Evans plays her ex-boyfriend in their upcoming film. 

DAKOTA JOHNSON, CHRIS MARTIN SPEAK OUT ABOUT RUMORED SPLIT 

Johnson might be back in the dating pool after she reportedly split from Chris Martin after eight years together. During an interview June 4 with the Los Angeles Times, Johnson sparked speculation that she and Martin had called it quits as she shared her view on relationships.

"For a long time we've all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world. When people should get married. Divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad?" the actress said.

"Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn't matter," Johnson added.

Later that day, People magazine reported that Johnson and Martin had ended their on-and-off again relationship.

"It feels final this time," a source told the outlet.

Johnson and the Coldplay frontman have been dating since 2017. Martin was previously married to Gwyneth Paltrow for 10 years. 

They share two children, Apple and Moses. They announced their separation as a "conscious uncoupling" in 2014. 

Their divorce was finalized in 2016, and they've remained friendly exes.
