While promoting her latest film, The Accountant 2, Chicana actress/comedienne Daniela Pineda gave some perspective to past controversy surrounding Cow Boy Bebop. Speaking to the Direct-
Pineda also received a lot of backlash following Cowboy Bebop’s release and wanted to clarify a video she made “poking fun at [herself]” which was interpreted incorrectly by some audiences online:
“I want to clarify something. So, years ago, when the franchise came out on Netflix – I was shooting a movie in Puerto Rico, and I was goofing off, and I made some — I’m not used to anyone watching my videos—And I made this, dumb video, kind of poking fun at myself, because I was getting all of these DM’s from people saying, like, ‘You’re terrible and you’re fat. Go away.’ Just like, awful, awful messages. ‘ –

So I just made this, like on-a-whim [Instagram] Story, just joking about the fact that, like, ‘Sorry, guys, I’m sorry I was cast.’ And I used the word ‘fans’ when I meant to say ‘trolls,’ and then it caught wind. And everybody was like, ‘She’s hating on the fans.’ And I was like, ‘This is getting lost in translation. I’m responding to trolls, not fans.’ And it got really swept up anyway. I just had to put that out there.” – Daniela Pineda.
These sentiments aren’t new and seems to be on par with what she said back in 2023. per our coverage.
Also harsh life lessons can strengthen and grow one’s character as Daniela lost her house, and almost her life, in the LA fires this past January. In her instagram posts speak for themselves.


The Accountant 2 releases April 28th in theaters. Here is the film synopsis.
“When someone close to her is killed by unknown assassins, Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina is forced to contact Christian Wolff to solve the murder. With the help of his estranged but highly lethal brother Brax, Chris applies his brilliant mind and less-than-legal methods to piece together the unsolved puzzle. As they get closer to the truth, the trio draw the attention of some of the most ruthless killers alive — all intent on putting a stop to their search.”
