Scarlett Johansson Wants You to Stop Calling Her “ScarJo” This Instant

I used to have no real opinion on Scarlett Johansson, but lately she’s just been getting on my nerves. It wasn’t anything too intense, but I think that this is the moment where I start strongly disliking Scarlett Johansson. You want to know why?

This is what she said when asked how she felt about her little nickname, ScarJo:

“Oh, it’s awful. It’s a laziness. People can’t actually say the whole name? It’s just bizarre. How come Daniel Day-Lewis isn’t subjected to like, ‘DaDay’? So Cate Blanchett is not, like, ‘CaBla’? Why is that? Why do I have to get stuck?”

Oh girl, no. No you didn’t. First off, it’s not lazy, it makes sense. Try fitting “Scarlett Johansson” on the cover of a tabloid. Try being someone who isn’t you or someone in your family – do you know how long it took me to figure out how many n’s and how many s’s were in your name? It’s a nickname, Scarlett, and you can ask my friend who in 7th grade decided that she wanted us to call her Bubbles: you can’t pick a nickname.

Also, you did not just compare yourself to Daniel Day-Lewis and Cate Blanchett. Please tell me you did not just do that. Take your ass back to the Avengers or make another shitty album of covers and leave the professionals out of this.

How are you guys feeling about ScarJo these days?

    Fuck off, ScarJo

  • as my mom said yesterday: “what is it about this girl? she is so boring and has no talent”
    teehee. go away, scarjo

  • those celebrity nicknames are obnoxious. its not even an endearing nickname, its just a shortening of a persons two names, it does look lazy. how could you use the “it’s too hard :’c” excuse, its not like you cant just google it whenever you cant remember how to spell a name. if your job is to write shit about celebrities, just learn how to spell their damn names.

  • I felt it was a rather sweet term of endearment, compared to all the names she COULD be called. So yeah, fuck off Scarjo.

  • She has just as much right to be upset about an unauthorized nickname as other people have the right to have made one up…I think she’s justified here – a lot of people don’t like certain nicknames that have been made up about them, and that’s perfectly fair – although honestly if I were her I would just let it go, or maybe just politely ask my close acquaintances not to call me that.
