Vivian Kubrick, the reclusive daughter of legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and the director of a making-of documentary on his movie The Shining, has been accused of spreading anti-Semitic conspiracies, anti-vax propaganda, and violent far-right memes on Twitter.
Though notoriously uncommunicative with the press (a standard of the Kubrick family for decades), Kubrick is a vocal presence on the platform. In just the first two weeks of February, for example, she referred to Bill Gates as a Bioterrorist, railed against COVID-19 vaccines (as well as mask-wearing generally), and posted a link inviting readers to a private QAnon discussion group.
Such tweets are only the most recent of Kubricks public statements and appearances to come under scrutiny by fans of her celebrated father. The Daily Beast previously reported on her conversion to Scientology, saying that she had skipped her late sister Anyas funeral in 2009 due to an enforced disconnection from her family, while in the same year The Guardian wrote that her mother, Christiane Kubrick, considered Vivian lost to the church.

And as for anti-semitism, Stanley Kubrick was Jewish. One of his unrealized ambitions was to make a movie about the Holocaust. He turned down Schindler's List because it was about "survivors" and he wanted to make a film about the people who died in the Holocaust. What on earth is she thinking?

(16,616 posts)her father making The Shining and Full Metal Jacket which were mediocre at best, so we're talking about decades since she's done a thing. She hasn't done anything on her own. She wasn't prominent or an "influencer." She occasionally made appearances at events honoring her dad.
You'd think Stanley Kubrick would have left a huge estate but it was only around $20 million.
Some people might be under the notion she's some young, impressionable person: She's sixty year old.
